Fluidra invests in Ecotropy to strengthen its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency
October 1, 2024- The investment was made through its Fluidra Ventures fund.
Fluidra, the global leader in the pool and wellness equipment sector, has announced a new strategic investment in Ecotropy, a French company specializing in the creation of digital twins for energy efficiency management in pools and aquatic environments.
The collaboration between Fluidra and Ecotropy was made through Fluidra Ventures, Fluidra’s recently launched investment fund, with a capital of 20 million euros, designed to invest in pioneering startups in the pool and wellness sector.
Ecotropy is the developer of DataPool, a digital twin tool that enables real-time monitoring, analysis, and optimization of the energy, water, and operational performance of commercial pools. This technology helps reduce energy consumption, lower water and chemical use, and significantly improve water quality and the sustainability of aquatic facility management.
Ecotropy manages over 50 pool installations in France using the DataPool solution, achieving more efficient and sustainable management of their facilities. Following its success in France, Fluidra is confident that through this collaboration, these benefits can be extended to more aquatic facilities around the world.
“This alliance reaffirms our commitment to innovation and sustainability, allowing customers to enjoy world-class facilities while optimizing resource use, reducing operational costs, and minimizing environmental impact. Through this partnership, we continue to lead the sector by adopting advanced technologies that not only benefit our customers but also promote a more responsible use of natural resources,” said David Tapias, Innovation Director at Fluidra.
