In order to carry out its projects, the Messina-based company 45-8 Energy raised 1.3 million euros from European investors in May 2020.
In order to further develop its activities, the structure plans to launch a new fundraising in mid-June. Led by Nicolas Pélissier and Benoît Hauville, the company is dedicated to the exploration and environmentally responsible production of helium in Europe. It plans to use the fundraising to hire new employees. The company wants to grow from a team of 10 employees to 30, including a majority of engineers. Note that the fundraising round is still open.
