A Portion Backed by the Spanish Public Sector via SETT
Wallbox (NYSE: WBX), a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions, today announced two recent private placements of the Companyโs 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 Wallboxโs shareholder base as part of the Companyโs 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 Asunciรณn, and others contributed more than $5 million through a second investment, reaffirming their continued support for Wallboxโs growth and technological leadership.
The Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT), a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry for Digital Transformatiรณn and Public Administration, is a public entity dedicated to financing and promoting advanced and transformative technologies. With this investment, SETT supports Wallboxโs 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 Spainโs 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 Wallboxโs 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.
โThe SETTโs support reflects its confidence in our long-term vision and underscores Spainโs strategic role in the global energy transition,โ said Enric Asunciรณn, CEO and co-founder of Wallbox. โThis investment, along with the continued support from our existing shareholders, strengthens our commitment to developing advanced EV charging and energy management solutions while driving long-term growth.โ
Supported by public-sector backing and renewed commitment from strategic investors, Wallbox continues to advance its long-term strategy and growth plans. These funding rounds underscore a shared commitment from both the public and private sector to accelerate the transition toward a more sustainable, efficient, and digital mobility.
The investment by the Government of Spain through SETT is part of Wallboxโs February 2025 financing round and is expected to close on June 13, 2025. The second transaction, backed by existing investors, was successfully completed on June 2, 2025.
