“It also provides runway for achieving our short- and medium-term production capacity targets.”
Rath is a veteran technology executive with a track record of building billion-dollar energy businesses, including German renewable energy equipment maker Enpal.
Full Vision led the series B+ funding round, according to the statement. Lee, the billionaire founder of Full Vision, is also co-chairman and managing director of property conglomerate Henderson Land Development.
