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.
