In the new year, we will once again be choosing the Startups of the Month, i.e. the five companies that have particularly interested many Munich Startup readers this month.
Sono Motors: It should also be an exciting year for our third-placed startup in January, Sono Motors. The Sion program is in jeopardy after the startup was unable to secure financing for its solar-powered electric car. With the help of #savesion campaign The Sion community should now decide how the program will proceed – and ideally, provide funding. However, things are going better for the Munich-based company's solar business. In January, Sono Motors secured a Financing of 1.46 million euros from the European Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and Environment. The money will be invested in the development of the company's proprietary solar technology; the Munich-based company has already received an initial installment of €532,441. (Photo: Sono Motors)
