Our take
As companies and individuals around the globe aim to be more sustainable, many small to medium-sized enterprises struggle to meet sustainability regulations as they often lack the time and teams needed to manage and optimise the energy consumption from their daily operations.
Ecoplanet supports SMEs throughout the energy transition process, providing access to a comprehensive operating system that uses smart meter data to manage the internal, production, and supply consumption of its clients, enabling them to save time and money while making a meaningful impact on the environment.
The young company’s highly scalable, plug-and-play software empowers positive changes in day-to-day business operations as it enables industrial companies to play a leading role in the energy transition. Following a successful seed funding round – led by HV Capital – ecoplanet’s innovative approach has the company well-positioned to see growth within the increasingly complex energy market.
