GreenTech & Climate Energy in Frankfurt
Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region focus less on cleantech hardware and more on the links between energy, software and capital. Frankfurt-based ENVIRIA develops commercial and industrial solar projects and has received more than €183 million from BlackRock; node.energy provides software to manage decentralized energy assets; and reLi Energy, a TU Darmstadt spin-off, optimizes battery storage lifetimes. The GreenTech Hub run by TechQuartier and Finance in Motion anchors the cluster.
