MUNICH, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Jinko ESS, a leading global energy storage company and a subsidiary of JinkoSolar Co., Ltd., and Taliva Energy, a clean energy company focused on full-scope energy storage solutions and large-scale energy infrastructure in Romania and Türkiye, with a growing presence across Europe, officially signed contracts covering 400MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects across multiple utility-scale developments in Eastern Europe. The signing marks a significant milestone in the strategic cooperation between the two companies and demonstrates their shared commitment to accelerating the deployment of large-scale energy storage solutions that support Europe's clean energy transition.
As renewable energy penetration continues to increase across Europe, battery energy storage has become a key enabler of grid stability, renewable energy integration, and power system flexibility. Utility-scale storage projects require not only high-performance technology, but also trusted partnerships capable of delivering reliable products, efficient project execution, and long-term operational support. The growing cooperation between Jinko ESS and Taliva Energy reflects the increasing market demand for proven energy storage solutions that create long-term value for developers and grid operators.
The signed portfolio represents 400MWh of battery energy storage capacity across several projects, further strengthening both companies' positions in the rapidly expanding European energy storage market. These projects will contribute to enhancing grid flexibility, increasing renewable energy utilisation, improving energy resilience, and supporting the transition towards a more sustainable and reliable electricity system.
Anita Li, Vice President of Jinko ESS, said: "At Jinko ESS, we believe the future of energy requires both innovative technology and trusted local partnerships. The expansion of our cooperation with Taliva Energy is an important step in supporting Europe's energy transition by delivering reliable, scalable, and high-performance energy storage solutions where they are needed most."
Mario Dalsarfati, CEO of Taliva Energy, added: "Energy storage is becoming one of the most critical pillars of Europe's energy transition. For Taliva Energy, this 400MWh portfolio represents more than a project milestone; it reflects our ambition to build reliable, bankable, and long-term energy infrastructure across Europe. By combining Taliva Energy's project development and market execution capabilities with Jinko ESS's advanced technology and global experience, we aim to deliver high-value BESS projects that support grid flexibility, renewable energy integration, and a more resilient energy future."
The signing ceremony, held during Intersolar Europe, highlights the continued growth of the partnership and reinforces both companies' commitment to advancing large-scale battery energy storage deployment across Europe.
As an energy storage system solutions provider, Jinko ESS will continue to work closely with strategic partners such as Taliva Energy to deliver reliable products, advanced system integration, efficient project delivery, and comprehensive lifecycle services, providing a stronger, more flexible, and sustainable foundation for the global energy transition.

LinqAlpha turns each investor's own research into AI agents that surface market-moving signals before they are priced in.
NEW YORK, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LinqAlpha, the AI-native company building the Alpha Intelligence Layer for global public markets, today announced $22 million in Series A funding. The round was anchored by AVP, Atinum Investment, and GFT Ventures, with participation from a global syndicate of strategic financial institutions and venture platforms.
Founded by Jacob Choi, Subeen Pang, Jin Kim, and Hojun Choi, LinqAlpha brings together former Goldman Sachs analysts and MIT computer science PhDs. Since launch, the platform has seen rapid adoption, serving over 70 financial institutions across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, including sell-side sales, trading, and research teams at leading investment banks, as well as buy-side clients such as Causeway Capital Management LLC and Schonfeld Strategic Advisors LLC. Collectively, LinqAlpha's buy-side clients manage more than $5 trillion in assets.
The company was built to address a critical inflection point in modern finance: public markets have become too fast, global, and interconnected for traditional research workflows. A supply-chain disruption in Asia, a policy shift in Europe, a social-media signal, an earnings call, and a credit-market move can all become part of the same thesis within hours. The challenge for institutional investors is no longer finding information; it is synthesizing thousands of moving signals into differentiated judgment before consensus catches up.
"The first wave of AI in finance made analysts faster. The next wave changes what they can know," said Hojun Choi, co-founder and co-CEO of LinqAlpha. "The edge no longer comes from retrieving information; it comes from systems that surface market-moving signals before they are priced in."
To deliver this edge, LinqAlpha enables institutional teams to deploy specialized AI agents that learn each user's unique investment framework.
"In effect, LinqAlpha builds a second brain for every investment team: one that turns accumulated research into actionable insight across liquid public markets," said Jacob Choi, co-founder and co-CEO of LinqAlpha. "Instead of a generic model's average answer, each team gets agents that reason in the context of its own thesis history and evolve with its feedback and market view."
"Most AI tools in finance help professionals retrieve information faster or automate repetitive work," said Manish Agarwal, General Partner at AVP. "LinqAlpha is addressing a larger opportunity: building systems that help institutional investors discover differentiated insights in public markets that reward speed, context, and proprietary judgment."
Alongside the lead investors, the round was oversubscribed with participation from a deep bench of strategic financial institutions and venture platforms across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The new capital will be used to expand LinqAlpha's global team—now headquartered in New York—deepen integrations across market and alternative datasets, and accelerate the deployment of its multi-agent platform across equities, macro, credit, and multi-asset strategies.
