Our take
The global demand for renewable electricity is skyrocketing, reflecting the new commitments that are necessary for cutting down carbon emissions as well as a way for businesses to cut costs. While most companies are seeking access to renewable energy, it isn't so straightforward for smaller companies and as it stands, sustainable energy is only accessible to companies with larger financial means.
However, Berlin-based Trawa is looking to challenge this current narrative, by building a digital, data-driven energy provider that is helping businesses decarbonise their electricity consumption. With a particular focus on SMEs in the manufacturing and processing sectors that currently don't have access to renewable energy solutions, Trawa is enabling companies to make the switch to green electricity and join a growing circle of enterprises committed to the future of sustainability.
The startup has recently secured fresh funding that will help further the development of its software. It also plans to apply for a license as an energy provider in order to allow end-to-end services for its customers. While Trawa is still new to the scene, it's making waves in its mission to revolutionise renewable energy and is set for a bright future.
