Electra Wins Audience Prize at WMF 2025 for Advancing Battery Intelligence with AI
BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Electra, the Boston-based company leader in AI-driven battery intelligence, has been awarded the Audience Prize at WMF - We Make Future 2025, Italy's largest innovation and technology festival. Selected as one of six international finalists from thousands of applicants, Electra presented on the event's Mainstage in front of more than 5,000 attendees and a global audience from over 90 countries.
During the high-stakes startup competition, Electra's CMO Giovanni Rossi delivered a three-minute pitch focused on one of the most pressing challenges of the energy transition: making battery systems more intelligent, reliable, and efficient.
'As solar and wind become central to global energy production, the role of batteries in storing and delivering energy at the right time is more critical than ever,' said Giovanni Rossi during his pitch. 'However, today's systems suffer from limited monetization potential, unpredictable failures, and slow innovation cycles'.
Electra tackles today's battery system challenges with two proprietary software platforms. EnPower is a digital twin solution that accelerates the design, testing, and integration of advanced battery systems, while EVE-Ai is a real-time engine that continuously monitors, optimizes, and controls battery performance. Together, they empower manufacturers and operators to cut development time and costs, predict faults up to three months in advance, extend battery lifespan up to 40%, enhance safety and reliability, and unlock new revenue opportunities (up to a 15% annual increase in ROI). Fully chemistry-agnostic, the system supports a wide range of applications, from electric vehicles to e-mobility to grid-scale energy storage (BESS).
Electra's offering stands out in a fragmented battery software market by combining modeling, analytics, and control in a unified platform. The Volta Foundation also recognized the company as one of the few global leaders at the intersection of AI and battery technology.
Founded in Boston by Fabrizio Martini, a former NASA engineer, Electra now operates across the United States, Europe, India, and South Korea. Following a successful $21 million Series A, the company is now scaling its international presence and fast-tracking product innovation to support the next phase of growth.
Electra shared the WMF 2025 stage with five other finalist startups: Invigilo AI, ALBA Robot, Helix Carbon, CircularPlace, and AndromedAI. The event was hosted by Veronica Maffei and Tiarne Hawkins, and organized by Search On Media Group.
The pitch is available to watch here on YouTube.

Oakland yoga studio part of rise in inclusive, nonbinary-owned businesses
In the heart of Oakland, there is a yoga studio where flexibility means more than just touching your toes — It's a way of life. Marlo Miller — who uses she/they pronouns — is the owner of Banana Yoga, a place where people like her can do something rare these days: breathe. "I think it happened organically. I, myself, am nonbinary, and they say your vibe attracts your tribe, and I just wanted to have those folks close to me," said Miller. Most of the instructors and clientele at Banana Yoga identify as gender expansive — an umbrella term for those who don't fit neatly into the male or female box. One of them is Deanalis Resto, a student whose pronouns are they, he, and she. "I know that I can be me here," Resto said. And they're not alone. A 2022 Pew Research study found that 5.1% of U.S. adults under 30 say their gender differs from their sex assigned at birth. From gender-neutral fashion to nonbinary salons and yoga studios, what was once overlooked is fast becoming a market with momentum. Rex Wilde, a transgender nonbinary consultant, said business is booming. "We're only going to be seeing more small businesses that open up specifically catering to this market," Wilde said, noting that since 2021, the number of certified transgender and nonbinary-owned businesses has more than doubled. For Miller, the value of places like Banana Yoga goes far beyond the bottom line. "If we focus on members of our community who need the most help, everyone else will benefit," she said.
