Start-ups are key drivers in creating a future-oriented energy world. By developing technological and digital solutions, they help make tomorrow’s solar products a reality and contribute to a renewable 24/7 energy supply. Innovative strength, agility, boldness and the development of products that are tailored to the market make start-ups a crucial building block of the energy transition.

Approaches to decarbonization, the optimization of generation technologies and energy consumption, the promotion of smart grids and software solutions for energy management play a significant role. They are the reason for the energy industry’s great interest in start-ups. Alternative financing models such as crowdfunding or impact investing also enable start-ups to mobilize capital for the transformation of our energy system from unconventional channels.

The smarter E Europe promotes the contribution that start-ups make to the energy sector by offering them an exclusive, sponsored exhibition area. Around 170 excellent start-ups have the chance to be part of The smarter E Europe 2026 and can present themselves in the Start-up Area in Hall C4.
