Uprise

What Uprise does

Uprise d.o.o. is a Zagreb, Croatia-based private limited company (d.o.o.) that designs custom B2B software and consulting solutions, primarily for the European energy sector, with secondary engagements in finance and the public sector. Founded and led by CEO Dino Mileta, the firm employs 11-50 people and serves transmission system operators (TSOs), distribution system operators, energy market operators, regulatory bodies, and government institutions across Europe, with a named customer roster that includes ENTSO-E, Swissgrid, the Joint Allocation Office, HOPS, Coreso, HROTE, Statkraft, Dok-ing, and the governments of Croatia and Slovenia. Uprise reaches customers through direct enterprise sales, industry events, professional networks (AmCham, Avere, German-Croatian Chamber, CISEX), and EU-funded project channels.

The company's technology stack is built on .NET, React, TypeScript, and Python, augmented by mathematical optimization via the Gurobi solver, geospatial capabilities through OpenLayers, and infrastructure running on Microsoft Azure with Docker and Kubernetes orchestration. Its flagship product, STORM, launched on February 19, 2026, is an all-in-one platform for energy storage portfolio management, optimization, and trading, targeted at battery storage investors and energy market participants navigating renewable-heavy grids. Uprise also maintains proprietary power-system sensitivity analysis tooling co-developed with the University of Zagreb's Department of Mathematics, holds ISO 27001, 9001, and 14001 certifications, and has built deep expertise in IEC CIM (Common Information Model) standards for energy-sector data interoperability. A sub-brand, Project42.Agency (Agency.42), extends the firm into animation, mobile gaming, and design.

Uprise operates a hybrid revenue model that combines professional services (custom software development, energy and power-systems consulting, and project support including 24/7 maintenance), recurring subscription revenue from the STORM platform, and licensing/royalty income tied to EU-funded R&D projects. Pricing is quote-based and tailored, with multi-year contracts and a stated emphasis on transparency and flexibility. The firm was recognized by both the Financial Times and Deloitte in 2024 among Europe's fastest-growing companies. Its GTM motion is enterprise field sales — high-touch, customized delivery — supplemented by thought-leadership content on energy topics and active participation in European energy conferences and trade fairs.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Fluence: Fluence is a global BESS integrator and energy storage software vendor (Mosaic platform) that competes with STORM in the energy storage portfolio optimization and trading software category. Comparable technology stack and target buyers (asset owners, BESS investors, market participants).

Broad incumbents

• Reply: Large European IT services and consulting group (Reply SpA) with dedicated energy and utilities practices across continental Europe. Overlaps with Uprise's custom software, system integration and energy digitalization work at greater scale.
• AFRY: European engineering, consulting and digital services firm with a large energy practice covering power systems, TSO advisory and digital solutions. Overlaps with Uprise's energy and power systems consulting portfolio.
• Capgemini Engineering: Capgemini Engineering (formerly Altran) provides large-scale IT services and digital transformation for utilities and TSOs across Europe, including system integration and custom software — a broad-incumbent alternative for Uprise's enterprise and government clients.
• Engineering Group: Italian digital transformation group with energy and utilities consulting and software delivery across Europe. Comparable to Uprise's B2B digitalization and public-sector energy work, but at much greater scale.
• Indra (Minsait): Indra / Minsait is a large Spanish IT services firm with a substantial energy and utilities vertical providing custom software, digital transformation and system integration to European utilities — a broader-incumbent counterpart to Uprise's enterprise and government work.

Direct peers

• Energy Exemplar: Energy Exemplar (vendor of PLEXOS) provides energy market simulation and optimization software used by utilities, traders and BESS operators globally. Direct peer to Uprise's STORM platform and broader energy market analytics services.
• Artelys: Artelys is a French optimization and decision-support firm specializing in energy systems (power systems optimization, market simulation, congestion management) for European TSOs and market participants. Highly comparable to Uprise's energy consulting + STORM optimization stack and competes for similar TSO/ENTSO-E-adjacent RFPs.
• N-SIDE: Belgian software and consulting firm applying mathematical optimization to power systems, electricity markets and energy storage. Direct competitor for the same European TSO optimization and capacity-calculation mandates.
• Open Grid Systems: UK-based vendor focused on IEC CIM standards, CGMES and grid integration tooling for European TSOs. Direct competitor in Uprise's IEC CIM and grid-edge integration niche.
