✅ PROBLEM BEING SOLVED: The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a mandatory regulation that requires European importers to report and pay for the carbon emissions embedded in their imports. Non-compliance results in penalties. Thousands of companies need software to manage this complex compliance process — from classifying goods to collecting supplier emissions data across multiple languages. ✅ TARGET USERS: European importers of goods from non-EU countries (steel, cement, aluminum, fertilizers, electricity, hydrogen). This includes manufacturers, trading companies, and logistics firms. The initial CBAM reporting phase is already in effect, with full financial obligations starting January 2026. ✅ INDICATORS OF DEMAND/VALIDATION: The CBAM regulation is MANDATORY — companies must comply by law. The European Commission estimates 100,000+ importers are affected. Compliance software market for CBAM is projected to grow significantly as enforcement increases. Competitors like Sphera, Sweep, and Greenly charge €500-€5,000+/month.
