Paris, March 17, 2025 – Siteflow, a French startup, has developed the first fully digitized field operations management solution for the nuclear sector. It is now extending to other types of energy infrastructure and aims to tackle other sensitive industries in the future. The fast-growing company has raised €7 million, alongside LBO France and EDF Pulse Ventures. In a booming energy market, Siteflow wants to accelerate its development and strengthen its offer.
Siteflow, the new right-hand man of the major energy players
Between energy sovereignty and ambitious objectives for the decarbonization of industry and services, the energy sector is facing many challenges. To meet demand, it must significantly increase its production capacity, in particular increase the availability of nuclear power plants in operation and build new-generation EPRs.
It is in this context that in 2017, Siteflow launched the first solution dedicated to the digitization of on-site intervention and manufacturing processes for sensitive components. This solution meets the safety, quality and traceability requirements of highly complex industries, while providing significant time and cost savings. Quickly becoming a reference in its field, Siteflow has established itself as a key partner of major nuclear players such as Orano, Framatome and Veolia, supporting them in the implementation of their strategic plans for digital transformation and innovation.
“Siteflow has all the necessary assets to become a global leader in its field. By supporting Siteflow through our NewStone fund, we are supporting a startup that responds to two crucial challenges: improving the efficiency and safety of field interventions and digitizing the professions of complex and sensitive industries to attract talent,” explains Laura Panquet, Investment Director at LBO France.
€7 million to accelerate its development
With this transaction, Siteflow aims to evolve and perfect its solution while continuing its strong growth. A pioneer in the digitization of operational processes, Siteflow intends to optimize its solution by allowing the collection, processing and exchange of data, while integrating artificial intelligence. The advent of collaborative platforms and data management in sensitive industries places Siteflow at the forefront of a vast movement to transform practices.
Louis Hauvette, CEO and co-founder of Siteflow, explains: ” The solution we developed is now widely adopted in the nuclear sector. Our objective, with this new fundraising, is to democratize it further and on a larger scale. Siteflow’s solution is also suitable for other industry verticals, which should underpin our future expansion. »
This fundraising will support Siteflow’s growth on a broader scale, internationally, but also towards other types of sensitive industries such as aerospace and defense.
Julien Villeret, EDF Group Chief Innovation Officer, concludes: “The EDF Group is strengthening its digital transformation by investing in Siteflow. This approach is perfectly in line with the “Producing more low-carbon electricity” pillar of its “Ambitions 2035” strategy and its quest for operational excellence. This collaboration will enable the Group to support the integration of Siteflow’s solution into the data exchange platform set up by EDF in the field of nuclear production. »
