History & Achievements

An adventure with a Mission

Back in 2014, Julien, Sébastien, Léo, and Édouard, experts in renewable energy and finance, came together around a simple idea: to make investment in renewable energies accessible to everyone. The goal? To allow anyone to choose what gets funded by their savings, to build a better future.

The Enerfip seed was planted in 2014, and from all corners of the world. With Julien and Édouard in France, Sébastien in Singapore, and Léo in New York, the sun never set on Enerfip!

Committed to Staying Independent

Enerfip's leaders own 100% of the capital, a decisive step that paves the way for a new strategy of sharing value with all teams.
