TWAICE is Coming to Chicago

As a thematic rather than regional investor, Energize doesn’t invest in manny Chicago-based companies.

In fact, we have more European investments than midwest investments. But there is an exciting momentum building in Illinois around the electric vehicle boom. In addition to a number of manufacturing sites (Rivian, Lion Electric) the state is trying to enable the technology and supply chain partners to make Illinois home.

Energize has an investment in the leading EV battery analytics company, TWAICE. The firm is based in Germany and with our support, is now opening their North America HQ…. in Chicago! I believe Chicago can be an epicenter for EV-related technologies and we will continue to help our portfolio grow here.
