Securing a spot on the 2026 Global Cleantech 100 is no small feat - it’s the result of a 17-year-running analysis that filters thousands of companies through the insights of 78 global specialists to find the few truly equipped to reshape our industrial future. This recognition carries real weight. The Global Cleantech 100 draws from more than 24,000 nominations across 57 countries, rigorously assessed by investors and industry leaders in a market Cleantech Group itself describes as increasingly “risk-off” and focused on economic durability and commercial viability at scale. As AI accelerates electricity demand and exposes grid fragility, the report places IONATE firmly in the grid capacity and upgrade story, naming it “a front-runner in the new generation of hybrid transformers.”
That distinction reflects IONATE’s core strength. By reinventing transformer magnetic systems and integrating an AI control layer within a familiar transformer form factor, IONATE delivers intelligence, resilience, and precision without forcing utilities to rebuild supply chains. The result ismodular grid functionality, including real-time monitoring, automated voltage regulation, and rapid fault isolation that helps prevent outages and shorten time back to power. As Cleantech Group notes, smart transformers have moved into the spotlight as grids become more complex and reliability-critical, and the energy transition is increasingly about extracting more performance, flexibility, and resilience from existing infrastructure. Being named to the Global Cleantech 100 signals that IONATE is not just anticipating this shift, but actively helping define the next frontier of AI-ready power systems.
