Rotterdam-based Skoon Energy, an AI-powered software platform for clean mobile energy, announced on Thursday that it has closed $5.6M (approximately €5.3M) in a Series A round of funding led by Blue Bear Capital with participation from the Graduate Entrepreneur Fund.
Skoon says the latest capital infusion will enable it to grow its team, advance the development of its software platform, and expand into new global markets.
The Series A round follows investments by Kees Koolen (early investor and CEO of Booking.com and former COO of Uber), Damen Shipyards, and Rabobank.
What does Skoon solve?
A report by BloombergNEF reveals that at least $21.4T needs to be invested in the electricity grid by 2050 to support a net-zero trajectory for the world.
