creating a sustainable energy future to fight climate change.
100 engineers, coders, designers, psychologists and entrepreneurs

the most important and complicated energy efficiency challenges to create well-researched and (somehow) tested concepts with possible further follow-up development for winning ideas!

Challenges
Each team picked one of three challenges:
Making heating smart for everyone

Creating a smart search and recommendation engine for sustainable products on wholesale-platforms
powered by Sonepar and co2online
Making energy consumption data actionable for industrial managers

Prizes and Follow-up opportunities
At the end of the hack, you will pitch your concept to our jury.
To convince them you will need to combine user, business and tech insights.

And we put more cool stuff into the winner's box: non-cash prizes worth 2500€ (powered by Deneff)
and tickets for the Start Up Energy Transition Tech Festival (powered by dena).
