Nexxtlab Accelerates Its European Growth

smartmaster goes european

Luxembourg, 17.06.2026 — After five years of developing both its solution and the company, Nexxtlab is entering a new phase. Nexxtlab has opened its capital to an experienced international energy player to accelerate its go-to-market across Europe and continue innovating for the energy transition.

This investment confirms the maturity and market relevance of Nexxtlab’ Smartmaster ecosystem. Developed in Luxembourg and validated extensively in Belgium and the Netherlands, Smartmaster has proven itself as a neutral, open and white-label Energy Management System platform, combining strong user experience, customer support, interoperability and operational efficiency. It also provides an open, supportive and necessary foundation for higher-value energy services delivered by flexibility aggregators, energy suppliers, grid operators and other market players.

An experienced industrial group active in the development of energy services for the energy transition has chosen to back Nexxtlab’s “go to Europe” journey. Their investment will accelerate the company’s commercial expansion, strengthen its marketing and customer success capabilities, and deepen its distribution partnerships in key European markets — while staying true to the open architecture that makes Smartmaster distinctive.

The investment was successfully closed with the support of Oaklins, one of the world’s leading mid-market M&A and capital advisory firms, which advised Nexxtlab throughout the process.

“This milestone is the result of the work and commitment of the entire Nexxtlab team, together with the trust of our partners and clients. It allow us to extend Nexxtlab’s market visibility across Europe, while remaining anchored in the fundamentals that define us: user experience, customer support, and a full-scope open ecosystem. Our mission is clear: at the energy management level, to transform the complexity of Europe’s energy landscape into convenience, measurable savings, flexibility revenues, and operational resilience for our clients — while enabling our partners to create additional value for the market and end users.”

— Olivier Piraux, CEO & Founder, Nexxtlab

Nexxtlab Transitions from Grid Innovation Projects to Scalable Product Company – Acquires Full Ownership from Creos and Seeks Strategic Partners for Growth


Luxembourg, 21.05.2025 – Nexxtlab, a pioneering energy technology company founded in 2018 by a private investor group and Creos, announces a major milestone in its evolution. Initially established to develop and implement advanced digital grid-related projects, Nexxtlab has successfully delivered groundbreaking solutions such as Smarty+ and Smarty Pro, now firmly embedded in Luxembourg’s energy landscape.

 

In 2023, the company initiated a strategic shift from project delivery to a scalable product model. Central to this transformation is Smartmaster, Nexxtlab’s modular, white-label energy management ecosystem. Smartmaster empowers utilities, installers, and service providers to offer intelligent, flexible, and user-friendly energy control solutions for residential and professional markets.

 

To continue this strategic realignment, the CEO and the private investor group have acquired the shares previously held by Creos, making Nexxtlab fully independent and agile in its commercial trajectory. The company is now seeking a strategic partner to support the next phase: international market expansion and product scale-up.

“We are proud of what we’ve accomplished with digital grid solutions like Smarty+ and Smarty Pro. Our transition from project to product marks a new chapter, driven by the ambition to scale Smartmaster across Europe and beyond. We thank Creos for their partnership in the first part of this journey and for their continued support in developing digital solutions that enable the energy transition,” says Olivier Piraux, CEO of Nexxtlab. “With full ownership and a clear go-to-market vision, we are now ideally positioned to grow—and we welcome strategic partners who share our mission to accelerate the energy transition.”

Nexxtlab’s Smartmaster platform includes Smartmaster Home, Smartmaster Pro, and Smartbirds, providing a unified and future-proof environment for real-time monitoring, energy automation, and smart asset integration.

 

About Nexxtlab
Based in Luxembourg, Nexxtlab specializes in energy management and digital grid innovation. The company first gained recognition through its digital grid products Smarty+ and Smarty Pro. Today, Nexxtlab is focused on scaling Smartmaster, its white-label energy management ecosystem designed to support the decarbonization and digitisation of the energy sector.
