company’s software approach excludes the need for hardware, cables or
complicated installation procedures. Watty uses simple visualisations to break

spent in your home and what you can do to reduce your energy bill. Several
bigger European utilities are currently working with the company on large scale
deployments.

CEO of Cleantech Invest Plc, Alexander Lidgren, who is a board member of Watty
comments: "The team of Watty has really impressed us since our initial peak-hole
investment a little more than a year ago. Their technology has developed even
faster than planned and has been thoroughly tested with customers in cooperation
with some of the biggest energy companies in Europe. Watty provides what we
really believe will be the energy bill of the future."

CEO of Watty, Hjalmar Nilssonne comments: ”I’m thrilled to be bringing new
partners onboard. Watty is taking on one of the biggest sectors of the economy,
the energy industry, with a ground-breaking machine learning technology. Few
investors know the in-and-outs of the latest machine learning developments, and
even fewer know the energy sector well.  Working with both Cleantech Invest and
EQT Ventures is a perfect match for us. We get deep industry expertize from
Cleantech Invest paired with a strong experience of scaling technology
businesses globally from EQT Ventures."
