Notes to Editors

Aura was established to acquire and then act as the holding company for targeted businesses operating in the Global Renewable Energy Sector Supply Chain. During the current year, the board has expanded the range of potential acquisition targets.  In particular, the board is looking at industries which are also characterized by strong macro-economic fundamentals, with incumbents subject to disruptors enabled by new technologies and AI, and where new entrants and emerging businesses can grow their businesses through acquisition and investment.
