Born as an ETH spin-off, IRON ENERGY builds on Swiss excellence in innovation and engineering. We developed a long-duration energy storage solution feasible for seasonal storage — enabling communities and industries to achieve energy self-sufficiency. By combining sustainability with resilience, we are helping to transform today’s energy system into one that is ready for the future.

IRON ENERGY is powered by a team of four entrepreneurs who bring together diverse backgrounds and complementary strengths. From cutting-edge research in energy systems to hands-on experience in engineering, business strategy, and project execution, we combine the competencies needed to turn vision into reality. What unites us is a shared drive: to build solutions that make sustainable, self-sufficient energy a reality for communities and industries.
