EDTECH: LEVERAGING AI-POWERED TECHNOLOGIES TO TRANSFORM THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
1. Technology overview
Hachiko Technologies Pty Ltd builds optimisation and portfolio management software for commercial and industrial battery energy storage systems. Its site references AEMO and Australia's National Electricity Market, and the company sells to developers, traders, investors and energy-as-a-service providers.
The platform standardises site onboarding for any battery vendor, optimises revenue across merchant and multi-structure PPA strategies, and includes a digital twin called Simulate for testing performance and trading strategies before deployment. In December 2025 Startup Daily reported a USD 2.5 million seed round led by Archangel Ventures.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Site onboarding: standardised connection for any battery vendor or site configuration.
- Multi-market optimisation: revenue strategies across merchant and multi-structure PPA models.
- Simulate: digital twin for testing performance and trading strategies before deployment.
- Market connectors: interfaces needed to participate in the target electricity market.
- Portfolio view: manages many sites as one portfolio rather than single assets.
3. Potential application
Optimising a portfolio of factory-rooftop solar plus battery sites for an energy-as-a-service provider in Vietnam. Testing storage business cases with the digital twin before investment. Supporting investors who hold several small battery assets.
4. Benefits
Standard onboarding works with any battery vendor or site configuration. Revenue optimisation covers merchant and multi-structure PPA strategies. The Simulate digital twin lets owners test trading strategies before committing capital. Aimed at portfolios of small and mid-sized batteries.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Commercial and industrial battery projects are growing in Australia and Southeast Asia, and small assets are hard to optimise individually. Vietnam's DPPA and storage policies are expected to create similar demand for software that aggregates and optimises distributed batteries.
