Wallbox (NYSE:WBX), a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions, today announced two recent private placements of the Company's Class A ordinary shares for an aggregate of $15 million. The first is an investment of more than $9 million from the Government of Spain through the Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT), which joins Wallbox's shareholder base as part of the Company's financing round from February 2025. Additionally, existing investors including Inversiones Financieras Perseo, S.L. (a subsidiary of Iberdrola), Orilla Asset Management, S.L., Wallbox CEO and Cofounder Enric Asunción, and others contributed more than $5 million through a second investment, reaffirming their continued support for Wallbox's growth and technological leadership.
The Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT), a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry for Digital Transformatión and Public Administration, is a public entity dedicated to financing and promoting advanced and transformative technologies. With this investment, SETT supports Wallbox's leadership as a technological frontrunner in the energy transition.
This investment by SETT is made through the Next Tech initiative, which aims to encourage private investment and improve access to financing in strategic sectors of the Spanish economy through disruptive technologies. Next Tech is part of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan and is one of the key instruments managed by SETT. In addition, SETT oversees two other financial tools designed to strengthen Spain's technological business ecosystem: PERTE Chip, focused on microelectronics and semiconductors, and the Spain Audiovisual Hub, which supports the digitalization and growth of the audiovisual sector.
These investments strengthen Wallbox's balance sheet and provide the resources to accelerate the global adoption of its EV charging solutions, advance the digitalization of its solutions, and drive the development of cutting-edge technologies for smarter, more efficient energy management.
