To collect more accurate local data and create more transparency on the carbon credits market, which has been criticized especially regarding verifying the effectiveness of carbon offset projects, EcoNetix, founded in 2023 by Jakob Zenz, Paul Nimmerfall, and David Salzgeber, has developed a tech solution using sensors to collect live data in the field. The start-up leverages combined on-site sensor data and satellite imagery to build a transparent global carbon credit portfolio. Real-time data allows it to offer customers verified carbon offset projects through a user-friendly platform.
EcoNetix now aims for further growth and the implementation of its plans. At a recently concluded seven-figure financing round, the start-up attracted well-known investors such as VC Persistent, ASC Impact, and Voltares Ventures. Moreover, EcoNetix is already working with partners in six countries on three continents, including reforestation and restoration projects, and has plans to expand its core team and establish subsidiaries in the USA, Singapore, and Japan. With all of this, EcoNetix aims to restore confidence in the CO2 market in the long term and contribute to a more sustainable future.
