Danish startup Lumilab raises pre-seed funding to automate energy infrastructure operations
Copenhagen-based energy technology startup Lumilab has raised a pre-seed round led by Giant Ventures. Other backers include GANNI founder Nicolaj Reffstrup, former Danish minister and entrepreneur Tommy Ahlers, and former NVIDIA senior director Thomas Skov Reunert. The company has not disclosed the size of the round. It will use the money to grow its team and expand deployments across global energy infrastructure.
Lumilab was spun out of research at the University of Copenhagen. It builds an AI-powered operations platform that connects fragmented data and software systems, monitors energy infrastructure, identifies faults and automates operational workflows through AI agents. These agents handle tasks across electric vehicle charging networks, solar installations and battery parks, detecting and investigating issues and executing predefined actions across connected systems.
The problem it targets is that operators of expanding charging, solar and storage networks must monitor assets across many locations, while data and workflows sit in separate software systems. Teams often have to go through error logs, find problems and coordinate responses by hand. Lumilab offers a shared operations layer to reduce that manual work.
Humans stay in control. Operations teams configure the agents, set the rules, design workflows and decide which actions the agents may perform, while the agents carry out assigned tasks.
The company says its platform has grown over the past 12 months to support operations across 45,000 assets in more than 30 countries, including Denmark, Germany, the UK and France. The assets include EV chargers, payment terminals, depot equipment and battery systems.
CEO Sofus Laub Erdal says the company is building applied intelligence for the infrastructure that powers society, with the ambition of helping every energy operator run and scale it. Nicolaj Reffstrup, Founding Partner at Look Up Ventures, says energy sovereignty depends on reliable, efficient infrastructure and that intelligent systems like Lumilab's are needed to operate it at scale.
