Frankfurt-based ENVIOTECH has raised €1 million in pre-seed funding to advance its intelligent retrofit solutions for public street lighting. The round was led by Jürgen Fitschen, with participation from Joachim Drees.

ENVIOTECH develops retrofit kits that allow municipalities to upgrade existing street lighting infrastructure without full replacement. Its technology is designed to help cities monitor, dim, and manage lighting more efficiently.

The company said the new funding will be used to expand pilot projects with municipalities and infrastructure partners, further develop its technology, and prepare for its next phase of growth. The raise comes as cities face growing pressure to modernize infrastructure while managing costs and energy use.
