And what do you do in Wrocław? - I heard this question dozen of times since March 2023. At first I could not say much. Later Piotr Dobosz and I were so busy, we did not even think about updating our profiles. But now we can finally do it and there is no better moment than publication of yesterday's front page article and interview with Aira Group CEO Martin Lewerth Aira has raised €145 million in our oversubscribed and upsized Series B funding round. This investment will enable the company to accelerate the decarbonisation and electrification of residential heating across Europe. Part of this funding will help us to ramp-up of Aira’s manufacturing capabilities in Wroclaw, Poland, to commence production of its intelligent and connected heat pumps in the first half of 2024. I am grateful to Peter Prem that he invited us on this exciting journey. I am grateful to great group of professionals (ex-Volvo Buses Colleagues, fellow interim managers and consultants) whom I met here. There will be more on this on my profile in Polish - I promise :-) Today, Europe still relies on 130 million fossil fuel boilers to heat homes, accounting for 10% of Europe’s total CO2 emissions. With a growing group of leading climate tech investors and a total investment of €195 million in equity funding and grants, we will accelerate our ambition to serve 5 million homes with clean energy-tech solutions across Europe over the next 10 years. Together with Aira'a new and existing investors - Altor Equity Partners, the Burda family, Collaborative Fund Creades AB, Kinnevik, Lingotto, Nesta,  and Temasek- we are making electrification of residential heating a reality.
