My organisation

Voltiris is a Swiss Cleantech pioneer turning greenhouses into solar power plants without compromising crop yields. Our technology goes beyond producing clean energy: by filtering excess heat from sunlight, our modules provide growers with a competitive, independent energy source while improving the greenhouse climate — reducing summer temperature peaks without compromising the light needed for growth. Mounted directly on greenhouse structures and exempt from building permits, our systems enable fast, large-scale deployment of renewable energy at scale. In just three years, we have moved from prototype to commercial rollout: • 12 growers across Europe (Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Belgium) • Commissioning of our first hectare-scale project, with several more confirmed for 2026 • Pilot deployments underway in North America, the Middle East, and Asia We are now a multidisciplinary team of 25+ people, have raised CHF 10 million in equity and non-dilutive funding, and are accelerating growth with an Energy-as-a-Service model — turning every greenhouse into a solar power plant.

Reverse Pitching #1 - Why I’m the investor you want

Location:Szenario 1 (Level 0)Track:Unlock Switzerland

Founders usually pitch VCs – this time, we flip the script. Top investors present themselves, followed by a live Q&A with a founder from their portfolio. In the final part, you can ask your own questions and join the discussion.
