Belgrade, Serbia · Startup Strawberry Energy is a Belgrade-founded smart-city and clean-tech startup best known for Strawberry Tree, a solar-powered public charging and urban-data station that became one of the first widely deployed pieces of street furniture combining renewable energy, IoT sensing, and free phone charging for cities. Founded in 2011 by Miloš Milisavljević while he was still a university student, the company has placed its units across the Balkans, the UK, and the Middle East, and expanded into smart-city data platforms that feed environmental, footfall, and air-quality metrics back to municipalities.
