  "summary": "Berlin-based DeepTech startup Nanolope has secured €800,000 in pre-Seed financing to develop thermal energy storage materials for buildings. The funding round was led by IBB Ventures through its pre-Seed Fund B# (\"be sharp\"), alongside several experienced business angels and industry experts from energy, real estate, and materials technology sectors. Nanolope's patented thermal storage panels aim to transform walls, ceilings, and floors into passive systems, reducing heating and cooling loads, improving indoor temperatures, and lowering CO₂ emissions. The company's materials are made from renewable, plant-based raw materials sourced in the EU, are manufactured without rare earths, and are recyclable at the end of their life cycle. With the funding, Nanolope plans to scale production, implement pilot projects, and expand its team to further develop its sustainable building solutions.",
