Who we are

Driving innovation and efficiency in the business world with scientific precision.
Our Philosophy

FOLIVORA = SLOTH

Instead of defying gravity upright, sloths spend most of their lives hanging upside down in the branches of trees. They move very slowly.

#

Efficiency

Sloths have specialized in their conservation to cope with nutrient-poor leaves. As a result, they must save energy at every turn.

#

Omnipresent renewables rather than fossil energy sources

The sloth uses omnipresent food sources instead of rarer food sources, such as ripe fruit, which must be searched for with difficulty.

#

Decentralization and locality

Sloths have very long arms but only very short shoulder blades. This gives them a maximum range of motion for localized feeding.

Our Journey from Research to Real-World Impact

At Folivora Energy, our foundation lies in cutting-edge academic research.

As a spin-off from the Technical University of Darmstadt, we bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic research and practical application, harnessing years of expertise in energy system and process optimization research, leveraging advanced data analytics and mathematical algorithms to deliver transformative solutions for energy optimization, streamlined operations, and strategic decision-making.
