615. Ebrahim Balouji: Welcome to the AI-powered substation (STARTUP 4 CLIMATE FINALIST)

The power grid’s numerous substations require large amounts of hardware components and metals such as copper.

Gothenburg-based EcoPhi was born out of CEO and founder Ebrahim Balouji’s research at Chalmers University of Technology, and today the company offers a combination of harmonizing hardware and AI-driven software.

The aim is to digitalize the power system in order to enhance safety and monitoring, reduce resource use, improve energy efficiency, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy.

Heja Framtiden has a paid collaboration with the competition Startup 4 Climate, and EcoPhi is one of eight finalists that will pitch in front of the jury on 13th of November in Stockholm.
