What we’re most satisfied with is the interest we’ve received from the market. Ultimately, it’s the customers in the real estate industry who decide which tools survive, and when it comes to sustainability, it’s the practical solutions that matter.”
Innovative Solution in a Fragmented Market, and Clear Signs of Quality Trond Riiber Knudsen, an angel investor and early supporter of the company, praised Ei Solutions’ development: “The market for ESG solutions has long been unclear, but Ei has managed to stand out, find its niche, and is now helping to shape an entirely new category of industry-specific tools.
