Vanagon Ventures invests over €4.3 million in Holy Technologies’ financing round

Vanagon Ventures focuses on early-stage investment opportunities in digital DeepTech across the DACH region. The fund backs “Sovereign-Edge” DeepTech startups in B2B sectors such as Industrial AI, NatureTech and Digital Infrastructure, supporting Europe’s next generation of technology entrepreneurs to strengthen competitiveness, resilience and sustainability.

Holy Technologies, a European manufacturer of composite components, specializes in the automated production of high-performance carbon fiber parts for the automotive, aerospace and industrial manufacturing sectors. Its proprietary Infinite Fiber Placement (IFP) technology enables cost-efficient, rapid and scalable lightweight components that are fully recyclable at the end of their lifecycle.

The new funding will accelerate the development of the world’s first autonomous factory for lightweight components. Designed to be AI-driven, scalable and fully circular, the factory will deploy an AI-powered robotic system that transforms standardized hardware into autonomous production lines. This approach not only reduces costs significantly but also integrates closed-loop recycling, ensuring full material recovery and reuse.

In addition to Vanagon Ventures, investors in the round included Rockstart, SANDS, Innovationsstarter Fonds Hamburg, EIT Manufacturing and a number of business angels.

Susanne Fromm, General Partner at Vanagon Ventures, commented: “Holy Technologies is an ideal addition to our DeepTech portfolio, which now comprises 18 early-stage companies. The company is building the AI-driven future of manufacturing, and such innovations are critical for Europe’s long-term competitiveness. We are very pleased to have successfully completed this investment with the support of Bird & Bird.”
