VFlowTech, a Singapore-based energy storage solutions firm, has successfully raised $20.5 million in its latest funding round.
The firm said in a statement on Wednesday that the investment was led by prominent venture capital firm Granite Asia, joined by new investors Antares Ventures, EDBI, MOL PLUS and PSA Ventures and alongside existing backers İnci Holding, UntroD Capital, Pappas Capital, Wavemaker Partners, SEEDS Capital, and Entrepreneurs First.
This funding will enable VFlowTech to scale manufacturing and deployment of its proprietary vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs); strengthen its AI-driven cloud energy management platform to optimize efficiency and unlock new revenue streams; develop critical supply chains, including vanadium recycling, electrolyte innovation, and membrane advancements.
With Singapore positioning itself as a global hub for sustainability and smart energy solutions, VFlowTech said its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform will introduce advanced smart grid functionalities to enable customers to optimize energy use, participate in energy trading, and enhance the return on investment (ROI) of energy storage systems.
With this investment, the firm will accelerate its expansion across Asia, the Middle East, and other global markets, grow its commercial team, and deepen its presence in key sectors such as utilities and grid-scale storage, renewable integration, and industrial decarbonization.
“As industries and governments prioritize sustainability, VFlowTech is at the forefront of providing advanced storage solutions that optimize energy usage and reduce environmental impact,
“With this investment, we are poised for significant growth and technological advancement,” said Avishek Kumar, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of VFlowTech.
Arjun Bhattarai, Co-Founder of VFlowTech, also said that this funding gives the firm the ability to take on larger projects, expand into new markets, and integrate cutting-edge digital intelligence into its energy storage solutions—making them not just storage systems, but revenue-generating assets.
Established in 2018, VFlowTech is a deep tech company pioneering vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) systems for long-duration energy storage.
The firm focuses on developing safe, scalable, and sustainable energy storage solutions.
It has installed their long duration storage systems in over ten countries globally and is supporting Singapore’s ambition to be a global leader in clean energy innovation and with the vision to drive the world towards energy equity where everyone can access clean energy at affordable pricing.
“Long duration energy storage is critical in supporting 100% renewable energy, build out of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, and new energy demand required from accelerated AI adoption,
“We believe that VFlowTech and vanadium flow battery technology is well positioned to capture this market in Asia and beyond. We’re excited to collaborate with the team to realise a more sustainable future for all,” said Kheng Nam Lee, Venture Partner of Granite Asia.
