BioEsol, a Mexican startup, has announced a significant investment of €35 million in France to develop advanced AI-driven energy management solutions. This strategic move, disclosed at the Choose France 2025 summit, reflects BioEsol's decision to relocate its headquarters to Paris, enhancing its access to European markets and aligning with France's ambitious climate goals for 2030.

BioEsol plans to commence its initial commercial projects in 2025 and has already secured $15 million in funding for these efforts, aiming for a larger fundraising round to further enhance its European operations.
The French government, through Business France and Team France Invest, has provided vital support during this transition, showcasing the country's attractiveness for innovative businesses in the energy sector. BioEsol’s commitment not only signifies a boost to local employment but also underscores France’s role as a leading hub for sustainable technology and energy management development.
