About this opportunity

We are looking for passionate startups to join us in pushing the energy industry to the next level. In a world that needs sustainable solutions, we want to shape the future of energy with innovative ideas, newest technology and creative approaches.

That is why we are doing all we can to ensure our planet remains a good place to live — by expanding renewable energy, reducing fossil fuels and creating a climate-neutral future for us and the following generations. It is a goal we are already working towards with all our might.

With every step we take, the system we have to manage gets more complex: an increasing amount of data has to be handled and even more players need to be coordinated. That's why we reach out for your ideas and solutions to create a more sustainable habitat for future generations.

In return, we'll provide you with our extensive data, the know-how of our experts, and fund a Proof of Concept or MVP with up to €50,000. If your solution impresses and is a perfect match for us, a long-term partnership awaits. Join our mission and energize our future!

Objective: Shape the future of energy with innovative ideas, technology, and creative approaches. Funding: Up to €50,000 for PoC/MVP development; potential long‑term partnership with Energie AG. Challenge Topics (2026):

  • Digital Customer Service World — regional presence with avatars, holograms, or mixed reality tools.
  • Renewables SiteFinder — AI‑powered site selection for wind and PV projects.
  • AI‑Enabled Energy Audit for SMEs — streamline audits and consulting with AI insights. Support: Access to Energie AG’s data, expert mentoring, and technical resources. Process:
  • Applications via F6S until January 4, 2026
  • Pitch Day: March 4, 2026
  • Winners enter PoC phase with funding and collaboration
