NRGYBOX

NRGYBOX, founded in 2019 by Rémi Kupisz and Alban Bergeras, operates from Bègles, France, specializing in smart lighting technology for public spaces. The company provides a solution for public authorities and lighting managers to diminish their environmental impact and operational costs. Its core business revolves around a connected device that allows for the remote management of public lighting systems.

The firm's patented technology integrates a connected box with an electronic and an artificial intelligence module, which can be installed on any lamppost or control cabinet without requiring civil engineering work. This system utilizes traffic data from telephone operators to intelligently adjust public lighting based on the actual use of streets, ensuring a safe yet sober lighting environment. The device contains a power cutter and an IoT module operating on the LoRaWAN network, enabling manual or automatic control of each light point via a mobile application. This allows for dimming LED bulbs or switching lights off at specific times and locations, leading to significant energy savings, reportedly up to 80% in some tested areas.

NRGYBOX targets municipalities with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants as its primary market. In September 2022, the company secured €500,000 in its first funding round from Galia Gestion and European greentech investors. This capital is intended to facilitate the deployment of 4,000 units by the end of 2023, expand its team, and prepare for European market entry in 2024. The company is supported by accelerator and incubator programs such as Unitec and ADI Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
