Trine’s investor community has played an important role in helping businesses like Miale Solar Inventions (Miale Solar) and Bisedge grow. New financing from institutional partners will help them build on that progress.

☀️ Triodos Investment Management is providing €5 million in financing to Miale Solar in Kenya through Hivos-Triodos Fonds, enabling the company to add up to 9 MW of solar capacity over the next 24 months.

⚡ Finnfund has committed €10 million to Bisedge, marking the first transaction under a new co-lending partnership with Trine. The funding will support Bisedge’s next stage of growth.
