Hyperscale Power raised EUR 5 million in seed funding co-led by World Fund and Vsquared Ventures. The Zurich-area company will establish laboratory space, recruit technical specialists and accelerate prototypes of its solid-state transformer design.
The system uses high-frequency power electronics to convert electricity for data centres, vehicle charging and renewable-energy installations. Hyperscale reports a substantially smaller design than conventional equipment and conversion efficiency of up to 98.5%. Research and development will remain in Switzerland, with manufacturing expected to expand elsewhere in Europe.
