Equinor Ventures joins investment round in Semodia

Semodia GmbH, based in Radebeul (near Dresden), has closed a financing round of almost 2 M€. The start-up is a provider of modular software solutions that enable customers in the energy and process industry to design, integrate, and operate their equipment and plants more efficiently and flexibly. In addition to Equinor Ventures, the already invested TGFS Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen, along with a highly experienced business angel investor also participated in the Series A round.

“Semodia is an exciting, emerging company with great potential to transform the integration of equipment packages across industrial processes. We look forward to working with Semodia to mature the technology and business model” says Kjersti Reinsnos, Head of Equinor Ventures Europe. Equinor Ventures led the round with a seven-figure investment. It is Equinor Ventures first equity investment in a German start-up.

“TGFS is investing in Semodia again because the company has great growth potential and has demonstrated the value of using MTP in industrial processes since our initial investment. As an existing investor, it was therefore clear to us that we would participate in the financing round again,” says Sören Schuster (Managing Director TGFS). The managing directors and founders of Semodia GmbH, Anna Menschner and Dr. Stephan Hensel, are pleased about the trust placed in them and look forward to further cooperation: “With this strong team of investors on our side, we can now pursue our vision of providing software solutions to create a seamless link between producers, operators and suppliers in the energy technology and process industry.” Semodia will use the new funds to further develop its own web platform called MTPlatform (mtp.semodia.com), to scale, and to enter new markets.
