INICIO is a French startup specialising in identifying land opportunities for the development of photovoltaic projects in Europe.
Using an AI algorithm developed in-house, INICIO can identify all the plots of land in a region that meet the criteria of solar developers within 48 hours. The startup secures these plots from their owners before putting them in touch with developers.
EDF Pulse Ventures invested in the company in 2025.
Inicio represents a key partner for the EDF Group, especially for EDF power solutions, helping to digitalise and enhance our solar project identification practice. Inicio’s solution will accelerate EDF’s solar development initiatives throughout Europe. Beyond the immediate benefits, this investment creates opportunities for collaborative innovation, particularly around Inicio’s grid connection prediction technology currently under development.
