Billion-Euro Investment Volume for Initial Projects in Africa, Asia, and the United States
OBRIST Technologies has been working closely with EWU TECH LIMITED and its sister company DSE GREEN TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS for some time now. Together, the companies are now pursuing the goal of implementing OBRIST technologies in definitive projects in Namibia, Egypt, Thailand and the USA. An investment volume in the double-digit billion-euro range has already been secured in these countries. The projects will be implemented in the coming months.
In the USA, the clear focus is on using the biologically based technology of OBRIST in the field of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In this regard, EWU TECH is cooperating with leading European logistics companies to ensure a sustainable supply in America.
