Dracula Technologies

Based in France, Dracula Technologies develops innovative energy solutions through its flagship product, LAYER®, utilizing Organic Photovoltaic technology to efficiently harness indoor light for low-power devices. Founded in 2012 in Valence, France, Dracula Technologies focuses on providing energy solutions through its LAYER® technology. In October 2025, Dracula Technologies raised undisclosed amount in series A funding co-led by new investors MGI Digital Graphic Technology, European Innovation Council and returning investor Banque des Territoires. Other unspecified investors also participated in the round.

The round was part of a larger EUR 30 million series A funding. Dracula Technologies specializes in innovative energy solutions centered around its flagship product, LAYER®, which utilizes Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) technology to harness ambient indoor light as a power source. This battery-free technology generates sustainable micro-power for various low-power devices, enhancing operational lifespan and reducing environmental impact. LAYER® can be integrated into diverse products, enabling self-sufficiency and eliminating the need for traditional battery replacements.

The company targets multiple sectors, including smart home devices, asset tracking systems, and industrial IoT applications, catering primarily to manufacturers and developers seeking eco-friendly power solutions. The OPV modules are produced in their Green Micropower Factory, with a production target of 30 million modules per year by 2024, focusing on markets in Europe and North America. Revenue generation for Dracula Technologies largely revolves around B2B partnerships with manufacturers and integrators incorporating their OPV technology into end-user products. The company's business model includes direct sales and potential licensing agreements for their LAYER® solutions, providing comprehensive support throughout the development and implementation phases.

This allows clients to purchase ready-made products or secure licensing rights for integrating LAYER® technology into their devices, with pricing plans tailored to their unique applications across different market segments, including energy-harvesting solutions for smart buildings and consumer electronics. Dracula Technologies plans to leverage its recent funding to enhance product development and market expansion. The company is focused on launching new products utilizing LAYER® technology and aims to expand its reach into new geographical markets, specifically targeting regions within Europe and North America by the end of 2024. Additionally, the funding secured from Banque des Territoires will be utilized to support these initiatives, facilitating the development of innovative energy solutions that meet the growing demand for sustainable power.
