THE CALL
HOW CAN WE ACCELERATE THE ENERGY TRANSITION THROUGH SMART BUILDINGS
Together with our partner AEW we are looking for B2B startups that help transform buildings from passive energy consumers into active and intelligent energy hubs. With nearly 50% of Switzerland’s energy use and CO₂ emissions tied to real estate, buildings are at the heart of the energy and climate transition. The shift from centralized power production to decentralized, self-managed systems opens up huge innovation potential.
ABOUT THE CHALLENGE OWNER
As an integrated energy service provider, AEW is active in the production of electricity and heating/cooling, as well as a leading grid operator and supplier for its customers. In addition, AEW offers services in grid-related and energy-adjacent fields in the role of a full-service energy contractor – together with a strong network of independent, certified installation partners.
