Enapter AG: Enapter Expands 2021 Advisory Board

Four further advisors appointed following 2020 inaugural board

Heidelberg (pta027/18.05.2021/14:20 UTC+2) Enapter announces the appointment of four additional advisors to its Advisory Board for 2021, who will join two returning advisors from last year's inaugural board. They will guide the growing company on strategic and operational management, as well as R&D. Enapter is preparing to build its first mass-production facility, iterate on its patented AEM Electrolyser technology and significantly expand its team. Newly joining Enapter as advisors on its green hydrogen journey are a private equity investor, an international business consultant, a physicist-turned-founder and a founder-turned-investor.

The Advisory Board is now comprised of six individuals:

Elaine Wong

Elaine Wong has over 20 years of experience building companies in the US and Asia. As a private equity investor, she has helped build, fund and take companies public in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Frankfurt, and New York. She is based in Hong Kong and is a co-founder of Hydrogen Capital Partners and HAO Capital. Some of her biggest accomplishments include helping payment processor PAX expand internationally and go public, and supporting the growth and development of radiopharmaceutical company AMS. Elaine graduated from MIT with a degree in Chemical Engineering, and has an MBA from Stanford University.

"I am really excited about Enapter's product and approach to market. Their compact modular electrolysers enable rapid, simple, and cost-effective hydrogen production anywhere. I believe their focus on making it easy for end customers will serve hydrogen applications today, but also have the potential to spur innovative applications in the future."

Udo Filzmaier

Udo Filzmaier is owner and CEO of SIE Group, which manages a global family of companies that supply electronics solutions, components and services for applications in global medical, government, security and industrial markets. He founded SIE in 1994 in Lustenau, Austria. In later years, locations in Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong and the USA followed.

"The path Enapter is taking to mass production is something I have experienced myself. I believe that Enapter should continue at speed: The world needs to act fast to reduce CO2 emissions. Products and technologies like this that will change the future are my passion."

Prof. Hubert Gasteiger

"The chemists at Enapter say that if I was not in Italy in 2007, the AEM electrolyser technology at their company might never have been started. I am keen to see where this technology goes. Many things at Enapter take different approaches - in science and with business models. I am happy to have regular scientific exchange with them".

Boris Tatievski

Boris Tatievski is an Advisory Board member of the enterprise group MonArch and Executive Board member of BIZOL Germany GmbH.

"I strongly believe that Enapter's mantra "Urgency, Simplicity and Transparency" is absolutely the right attitude for today, and I am glad to support them. All leaders in companies should understand that we are the ones who can make decisions and take responsibility for the next generations."

Oswald Werle

Oswald Werle is currently a member of the Supervisory Board of the Alpega Group, Luxembourg. He started his career at Gebrüder Weiss, the world's oldest transport and logistics company.
