OUR STORY

About Cogito Markets

Building the future of energy trading through data science and deep market expertise.

FOUNDED 2025

Our Vision

The energy transition is creating unprecedented uncertainty and intermittency in electricity markets and grids, making them more unpredictable and volatile than ever before. In this new era, we believe that data-driven trading can help stabilize grids, optimize renewable integration, and create value for market participants across the board.

Our name derives from René Descartes' philosophical statement "Cogito, ergo sum" — "I think, therefore I am." Grounded in rationality and science, we believe that data-driven decision-making is the foundation of successful trading in today's complex markets.
