AI Reasoning: Searches found recent IDAE funding announcements in 2024 and 2025 (e.g., allocation of €840M to storage projects announced Jan 2025, and support for creation of energy communities with €10.7M is referenced in IDAE news). However these are grants and public funding programs by the institute rather than equity investments in startups. No evidence was found of direct investments into startups; last publicly documented significant funding programs referenced were in Jan 2025 (grant programs). The classification requires last known investment; since only public grant allocations in Jan 2025 are identified, that date is more than 9 months prior to the decision date, but the investor’s activity as a direct investor into startups is not documented. Given absence of clear startup investment activity, use default value “not-found”. However because IDAE did make programmatic funding announcements in Jan 2025, the conservative tag is ‘not-active’.

Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.

Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.

Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.

Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
