Powerfoyle will reduce electronic waste, as many products will no longer require charging cables or single-use batteries. The ultra-thin solar cells with a flexible design enable companies to integrate self-charging capabilities into their products without compromising on visual aesthetics.

Exeger is investing in scaling up its production capacity at Stockholm II, the company’s second urban factory. The new industrial-scale factory runs on 100% renewable energy and is located in Kista, outside Stockholm.

Founder and CEO of Exeger Giovanni Fili added: “After long and thorough due diligence into the technology and business, I am thrilled to have EIB support with debt financing for the expansion of Stockholm II. The loan is being approved following great commercial traction during 2023, which has resulted in market demand for increased production capacity for Powerfoyle for 2024 and 2025. Having long-term funding through mechanisms like InvestEU helps ensure Europe’s sustainable industry continues to be competitive in the evolving global landscape.”
