Gentrack Group Limited (NZX/ASX:GTK) has entered into a contract to make a further investment of AUD4.5m in Amber (https://www.amber.com.au/) as part of an AUD45m funding round.
In February 2024, Amber and Gentrack announced a strategic partnership, with Gentrack investing AUD12m in Amber as part of a Series C funding round. Gentrack and Amber’s partnership positions both businesses to together meet the rising global demand for customer-centric, smart energy services. Amber’s strategy includes licensing its technology through Gentrack’s global network of utility customers, offering bundled solutions that combine Gentrack’s billing and CRM systems with Amber’s automation software.
