"We are delighted with the confidence of our investors, who are supporting us in our mission to accelerate the energy transition," says Dr. Lennard Wilkening, CEO at Suena. "With the fresh capital, we can accelerate product development and pilot implementation to quickly address the urgent need for innovative solutions for energy storage deployment." Wilkening co-founded the startup with Tom Witter and Miguel Wesselmann.
The closing of the funding round is not Suena's first success story in 2022. Back in March, the startup announced it had been accepted into the Leipzig-based accelerator SpinLab. This was followed in May by a funding from the InnoRampUp program of IFB Innovationsstarter GmbH in the amount of 150,000 euros, and the first place in the "Impact StartAperitivo" pitch competition. And since June, Suena has been part of e-combinator, an influential network in the energy industry.
