The job creation is part of a business expansion scheme. The company has told the press that is has secured investments for developing and delivering its products to North-America. Instagrid's product range will be expanded by larger mobile battery storage systems. According to the company, such systems present a clean solution for mobile power supplies.
Instagrid is a start-up from Stuttgart (Baden-Wurttemberg) that was founded over two years ago. According to the sources, it has managed to sell nearly 30,000 of its portable battery systems and wants to sell a similar amount in 2024.
