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.
Strawberry was recognized early as a European clean-tech pioneer, winning the European Commission's 'European Champion' award and being featured in MIT Technology Review's Innovators Under 35. For the directory it is a strong example of physical-product clean-tech built from Serbia, a counterpoint to the region's dominant gaming and SaaS stories.
