Raue advised Turin-based e-mobility startup Tau on raising its Series A financing round to 6.75 million euros. New investors include consortium of leading sovereign wealth funds from the Middle East and Russia. Raue had already advised the company on its initial investment by Altana Group in 2020.
Tau plans to use the fresh capital to accelerate new product development, widen its range of high-performance wires and to scale up industrial production to deliver to global producers of electric cars, buses, trucks, aircraft and ships from 2022 onwards.
Raue advised Tau on all corporate, tax and IP issues related to the financing round.
