**About Us**:
Corinex is a cleantech company transforming electric grids into resilient energy networks. As global decarbonization initiatives accelerate, legislators and utilities are enabling prosumers to generate and supply electricity from renewable sources, thereby changing the way electricity is generated and distributed. This new form of decentralized electricity generation causes variable power quality and unpredictable surges. Corinex provides utility companies with a suite of hardware and software solutions that enables high-speed and secure connectivity, monitoring, and IOT management over utilities’ existing powerline infrastructure. Corinex is the sole provider of broadband-powerline (BPL) solutions in mass rollout. Its solutions are developed for energy companies, with the primary focus being electric utility companies and energy distributors.

The company’s flagship offering consists of **GridValue** and **EnergyGrid**, a complete product and software solution that integrates distributed energy devices and provides real-time energy data, analytics, and predictive models. The Corinex solution has been validated by global utilities with some of the most stringent technology requirements, and it is the first company to resolve BPL’s technological challenges, enabling its mass adoption as a market leader after a decade-long technology race with incumbent players. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with a presence in Slovakia and China.
