Digiclean raises €2.5M to optimise industrial cleaning with AI

Swedish deeptech company Digiclean has raised €2.5 million
in a seed funding round to advance its platform for industrial cleaning and
maintenance optimisation. The round was co-led by Unconventional Ventures and
Almi Invest GreenTech, with participation from S-E Bankens
Utvecklingsstiftelse, Impact Shakers and Feminvest Ventures.

Industrial cleaning is a critical process across
manufacturing industries, affecting equipment performance, product quality,
production uptime and regulatory compliance. Yet many cleaning processes remain
manual, reactive and difficult to monitor. While areas such as machinery,
energy and logistics have become increasingly digitised, process chemistry is
still largely managed through manual sampling and operator experience.

Founded by Charlotte Stigen Låstberg and Andreas Låstberg,
Digiclean develops sensor- and AI-based technology that enables manufacturers
to monitor and optimise industrial cleaning processes in real time. Its
plug-and-play platform continuously measures cleaning bath chemistry and
automates chemical dosing, replacing manual sampling with real-time data.

The
system helps manufacturers optimise the use of chemicals, water and labour
while improving traceability, reducing unplanned downtime and supporting regulatory
compliance.

The platform is currently deployed at more than 20
industrial sites across Sweden, including facilities operated by companies such
as Volvo Group Trucks, SKF and Parker Hannifin.

According to Charlotte Stigen Låstberg, CEO and co-founder
of Digiclean, industrial cleaning has long been a critical part of
manufacturing, but many of the underlying processes have changed little over
the years.

We are building the tools needed to make it
measurable, optimisable and aligned with modern efficiency and sustainability
requirements. With the support of Unconventional Ventures and Almi Invest
GreenTech, we can accelerate this transition across industries.

By enabling continuous monitoring and optimisation of
process chemistry, Digiclean aims to reduce chemical waste, lower resource
consumption and help manufacturers improve the environmental performance of
their operations without compromising production quality.

The company will use the funding to support continued
product development and commercial expansion across Sweden and key European
industrial markets.
