SFC Energy AG, an international technology leader, providing reliable hybrid energy systems for public security, defense, industry, and critical infrastructure, has successfully completed the acquisition of a 15% stake in Oneberry Technologies Pte. Ltd. With this investment, SFC is positioning itself strategically in a structurally growing market for AI-based security and surveillance solutions. Oneberry is a provider of AI-powered security solutions for critical infrastructure protection, border security and drone defense, as well as autonomous monitoring and surveillance solutions for government and industrial customers.
In Southeast Asia, both companies are experiencing fast-growing demand for resilient energy solutions, particularly in areas such as border security, drone defense, crowd management, emergency and disaster response systems, and ad hoc security measures. Geopolitical tensions, growing national security requirements, economic uncertainty, and climate-related risks are driving this demand.
In response to this development, Oneberry is investing in ready-to-use, proven AI-driven solutions that benefit from the reliable energy supply provided by EFOY fuel cells.
Driven by this market momentum, SFC has secured a significant order worth approximately EUR 6.6 million. This order highlights the strong and long-standing partnership between the two companies, as well as their joint expansion into the Southeast Asian market. Over the past 15 years, Oneberry has implemented approximately 5,000 EFOY fuel cell-based solutions for safety-related applications, relying on proven technology.
The combination of SFC's low-emission fuel cell technology with Oneberry's AI and automation expertise enables integrated, off-grid, and autonomous surveillance and monitoring solutions. These solutions address a growing need for resilient infrastructure in security-related applications, while also opening up additional revenue and scaling potential for SFC. Singapore serves as a regional hub for expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. In the medium term, the plan is to extend the joint business model to other regions, including North America and Europe.
Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG said, “With the successful completion of the transaction, we are taking an important strategic step towards implementing our expansion strategy. Together with Oneberry, we have established a strong market position in Singapore for security-related applications, including critical infrastructure, border protection, and drone defense. The next step is to expand this regionally. The order from Oneberry confirms the demand for reliable, off-grid energy supply to increase security, and supports growth in 2026.”
Ken Pereira, CEO and Founder of Oneberry Technologies Pte. Ltd. said, “The growing demand for intelligent security solutions is the result of geopolitical and climatic challenges. Our AI-driven solutions, coupled with a reliable energy supply from EFOY fuel cells, put us in an ideal position to meet this demand and establish sustainable, future-proof infrastructure. This significant order also demonstrates the confidence that our customers have in our ability to deliver effective solutions, even in challenging conditions.”
