AssetCool, a deep tech company accelerating grid capacity through robotics-deployed photonic coatings, has been recognised by Sifted as one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups in 2025, ranking 15th overall among companies that more than doubled their headcount over the past year.

The annual Sifted analysis highlights 102 European startups demonstrating exceptional hiring momentum, reflecting strong commercial traction, investor confidence, and increasing demand for their technologies. AssetCool’s placement alongside companies such as Fyxer, Nscale, Granola, and n8n underscores the company’s rapid scale-up at a critical moment for electricity infrastructure globally.

“Epic to be recognised as the 15th fastest-growing start-up in Europe for 2025, amongst notable companies such as Fyxer, Nscale, Granola, and n8n,” said Dr Niall Coogan, Co-Founder and CEO of AssetCool. “A huge thank you to our talented leaders for rapidly building such a high-quality team of operators. The augmented team is already achieving serious results, and I’m excited to share our progress with you all soon.”

AssetCool’s growth reflects accelerating market demand for solutions that unlock additional capacity from overhead transmission lines without reconductoring or new right-of-way. By combining advanced robotics with proprietary photonic coatings, AssetCool enables utilities to increase capacity, reduce losses, and deploy upgrades faster within existing regulatory and financing frameworks.

The expansion of AssetCool’s team in 2025 has strengthened its capabilities across engineering, robotics, manufacturing, and commercial deployment, positioning the company to scale projects globally as utilities respond to rising electrification, AI-driven load growth, and grid congestion.
