In the first step, about 4 million smart meters will be installed in Germany. The BSI is the German Federal Office for Information Security.<\/p>\n<p>On 14 December 2021, Discovergy announced that Comgy is participating as lead investor in\u00a0the financing round to establish the first multi-metering platform on the market.\u00a0For the real estate industry, the new solution is a real paradigm shift: all meter and consumption data can now be measured digitally in a uniform way and billed in real time. This offers the opportunity to efficiently meet the requirements of the newly enacted heating cost ordinance.<\/p>\n<p>For further information about our fundraising, M&amp;A or due diligence services, feel free to <a title=\"Contact Us\" href=\"http:\/\/www.investaura.co\/contact\/\">contact us<\/a><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #993366;\"><i>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investaura was mandated for a \u20ac15 million growth capital fundraising by Discovergy, a German provider of smart meter gateways (SMGW) and energy analytics solutions.
