This program selects the 40 most successful startups in the French ecosystem and highlights their status as spearheads of the national economy.
The French Tech Next40/120 Class of 2024 confirms NW’s position as a world-class technology leader. Selected on the basis of their economic performance, the 2024 laureates play a crucial role in the ecological transition, reindustrialization, health, food, mobility and energy.
As the first French unicorn of the energy transition, NW plays a crucial role in the ecological transition. Thanks to its unique combination of storage (JBox®) and high-power electric charging stations (IECharge®), a patented world-class innovation, NW is now the French leader in distributed energy storage with its JBox® units. With its IECharge® stations, NW is also the fifth French operator of electric charging stations above 150kW.
Today, NW operates and manages more than 500 MW of storage (JBox®) and more than 120 electric charging stations (IECharge®). These infrastructures aim to promote an energy transition accessible to all by supporting the development of renewable energies. They also provide affordable high-power charging for electric vehicles, with the most competitive rate in Europe at €0.30/kWh.
NW continues to grow in France and internationally, in Finland, Texas, Sweden and Italy. The Group has signed several major partnerships for the installation of its solutions, including with the Groupement Les Mousquetaires and Mobilians.
