The proptech company Lumoview Building Analytics GmbH based in Cologne and Berlin has successfully completed a new financing round and secured a VC investment of 3 million euros. Together with the EIC Accelerator grant from 2024, this brings the total available funding to over 5.5 million euros — enabling us to further accelerate the urgently needed transformation toward energy-efficient and sustainable existing buildings.
- € 3M fresh capital from leading players in the field of sustainable and digital transformation — including Greencode Ventures, IBB Ventures, and WakeUp Capital — as well as support from business angels and family offices.
- € 2.5M grant funding awarded last year by the prestigious European Commission’s EIC Accelerator program.
With the fresh capital, Lumoview will further advance the automation of its technology and accelerate growth in Germany and across Europe. The goal is to provide property owners, energy consultants, and renovation experts with an efficient digital data foundation for retrofitting existing buildings — a key lever for reducing CO₂ emissions in the building stock.
