The bValue Fund has announced its second investment of the year. It is another step towards filling the capital gap between Venture Capital and Private Equity, while also supporting Polish growth companies with an international development perspective. Solidstudio is a strong player in the technological innovation sector for the e-mobility industry, with a wide range of know-how and experience in Poland and Western Europe. The capital raised from bValue will enable expansion into new markets and further development of e-mobility technologies. In addition to financial support (20 million PLN), bValue will also strengthen the company’s operational area and provide access to an international network of business contacts.
bValue powers the e-mobility sector with capital
The key aim of bValue is to create a facilitative climate to fully leverage the extensive potential of Solidstudio within the dynamically growing industry. For several years, the company has been setting the tone for the technological transformation of energy thanks to innovative IT products and services. The fund’s investment will allow Solidstudio to prominently exhibit its potential on foreign markets, particularly in Western Europe (the UK, France, Benelux countries). bValue will also support the consistent development of the company’s flagship products: the Charge Point Management System (CPMS) and the Emobility Service Provider (eMSP) platform for electric vehicle drivers.
According to ChargeUp Europe forecasts, the number of public charging points in the European Union is set to quadruple by 2030, reaching around two million. This projection is significant in the context of the entrance of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers into the European market, which may boost sales of such vehicles.
The decision to invest in Solidstudio aligns with bValue Growth’s investment strategy, which is to invest between 5-15 million euros in local innovation leaders with potential for wider international expansion. In 2024, the company, invested in by the fund, ranked fifth in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Central Europe classification, which recognises the fastest-growing tech companies in 19 Central European countries.
Energy transformation supported by IT innovations
One of Solidstudio’s significant competitive advantages is its capacity to provide substantial support for large companies on their journey to innovative growth, while minimising costs and risks. Beneficiaries of cooperation with the company include entities from the broadly understood energy sector, including those operating in the renewable energy sector.
Appealing to its clients’ needs, the company offers access to a fully configurable platform. Buyers receive non-exclusive intellectual property rights to the solution, including access to the source code. This approach emancipates them from external suppliers, which significantly contributes to increasing operational security. It’s a substantial competitive advantage over firms operating on a SaaS-based model. A perpetual licensing model ensures transparent prices and operational cost reduction at a larger scale of operation or over a longer analysis period. Solidstudio offers its clients full support at every stage of their business journey from analysis and consulting, through implementation and customisation of solutions according to the company’s needs, to maintenance and product development. An undeniable value of cooperation is the company’s broad expertise in the e-mobility sector, backed by its specialists’ market experience.
