Clir Renewables, a leading provider of performance optimisation software for wind and solar projects, has won a Companies-to-Watch award from Deloitte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The award spotlights emerging companies that exhibit strong growth and show potential to be a future candidate of the Technology Fast 50 award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clir chief executive Gareth Brown (pictured<\/em>) attributes much of this growth to the company\u2019s unique approach to using machine learning to analyse and optimise wind and solar projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said: “2021 has been a high-growth year for Clir with the successful CAD$29m (\u20ac20.4m) Series B funding round and increasing our employee count by 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “GCube, one of the largest insurance providers in the industry, recently announced its decision to use Clir\u2019s software to radically improve risk assessments for underwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Clir combines the world\u2019s largest renewable energy operational data set (200GW) with advanced AI that is designed, built and supported by decades of renewable energy expertise to maximize the financial returns and minimize risk of renewable energy projects. “We are delighted to have been named as one of Canada\u2019s Companies-to-Watch in Deloitte\u2019s Technology Fast 50 program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Our highly skilled team and excellent service standards are key to our success in empowering renewables stakeholders to maximize their financial returns.” To be eligible, candidates must also devote a significant portion of their operating revenues to creating proprietary technology or intellectual property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Deloitte Canada partner and national leader for the Technology Fast 50 program Anders McKenzie said: “With great pride, we wish to congratulate this year\u2019s Companies-to-Watch winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Their growth trajectory and ability to thrive through uncertainty, particularly during these turbulent times, have set these organizations apart and established them as an emerging cohort of tech leaders in Canada.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are confident we can successfully meet the industry\u2019s continuing demands for AI-driven monitoring and optimization platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
