Project summary

BRIGHTBLU develops smart charging technology that helps make electric vehicle charging accessible, efficient and reliable. Its charging solutions can be used at home, at workplaces and in public locations, supporting the growing demand for electric mobility across India. To fulfil committed orders from Indian customers, the company required additional working capital to purchase components, assemble chargers and deliver products to the market.

Through the Dutch Good Growth Fund (DGGF), managed by Invest International on behalf of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, BRIGHTBLU received a €200,000 pre-finance loan. This financing enabled the company to scale production, strengthen its market position and supply smart charging solutions to Indian customers. The project contributes to the rollout of charging infrastructure needed to support India’s transition towards cleaner and more sustainable transport.
