Hyena Energy Upgrades to Hyena.com for Enhanced Visibility and Investor Appeal

Hydrogen Energy Applications (HYENA) is a spin-out company from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cape Town, specialising in fuel cell technology deployment in Africa. 

In 2020, the company introduced the POWER POD, a groundbreaking alternative to diesel generators. The recognition and association of the HYENA POWER POD have grown substantially, cementing its status as a notable product for the company.

HYENA's primary focus is sub-Saharan Africa, mainly targeting telecommunications towers that rely on reliable electricity, often powered by diesel generators. The company aims to expand into other sectors like households and construction sites that also rely on such. 

In a significant milestone in 2022, HYENA accomplished a successful fundraising round. This achievement paved the way for the company to upgrade its domain name from HyenaEnergy.com to the exact brand match Hyena.com, recognising the importance of breaking free from the constraints of being solely associated with "energy. 

The simplified and memorable domain name eases access for potential partners, investors, and customers worldwide. It enhances HYENA's credibility on the international stage, making it easier for the company to establish a presence, forge connections, and seize opportunities in diverse markets. 

This strategic move also underscores HYENA's eagerness to transcend the boundaries of the limiting "energy" domain and explore new horizons.
