À propos de votre organisation / profil

TOUAWEN is an industrial DeepTech company developing a globally scalable autonomous solar cooktop integrating energy generation, battery storage, and embedded power electronics. Positioned at the intersection of energy, climate technology, and hardware innovation, TOUAWEN addresses one of the largest global challenges: access to clean cooking and reliable off-grid energy.

Over 2 billion people worldwide lack access to clean and stable cooking solutions. Traditional charcoal and biomass usage generates massive CO₂ emissions, deforestation, and severe health risks. TOUAWEN provides an industrially scalable clean cooking hardware platform designed for off-grid households, institutional buyers, NGOs, and development programs.

The technology integrates modular battery architecture, power management systems, and embedded electronics in a manufacturable format compatible with industrial scale production. The company holds granted patents in France (FR1770214), Europe (EP3607652), and internationally (WO2018162807), strengthening its technological moat and intellectual property position.

Currently at TRL 6, TOUAWEN is entering the industrialization phase, preparing pre-series manufacturing and global deployment. The company is opening a €1.85M Seed round (pre-money €8M) to accelerate industrial ramp-up, certification processes, and multi-market expansion.

TOUAWEN positions itself as a climate hardware platform enabling decarbonization, energy sovereignty, and scalable impact across emerging and developed markets.
