News & Events

As we do every year, many of the 160 start-ups that came to the event presented their companies and products during four-minute pitching sessions. Through public voting, five finalists were chosen to pitch to an expert jury, who selected the top three pitches to receive cash prizes that will help the companies push their innovations even further forward. This year we’re proud to announce that Skeleton Technologies was awarded with a cheque for 10,000 euro for winning first prize, instagrid won second prize receiving 3,000 euros and Energy Square won third prize also receiving a reward of 3,000 euros. Congratulations all!

We would like to thank all TBB.2019 partners, especially our Diamond Partners PwC, Engie and Capgeminiinvent as well as our Sapphire partner D.TEK. Thank you all for helping us host the most successful TBB yet and push forward the sustainable energy transition together.

We look forward to another exciting TBB next year that will take place in Berlin! Until then, let’s keep adopting sustainable energy innovations.

“…we have a generation coming up that expects companies to show sustainable action and in the digital age it’s hard to cover the truth when they don’t do it” Dr. Cyrus Wadia, Former Vice President- Sustainable Business & Innovation, NIKE, Inc.

“The path to the future is collaboration between utilities and energy communities” Mislav Javor, CEO of AMPnet.

“By large, the industry knows that it has to change” David Branson, Senior Executive Advisor, Strategy, PwC

“We are people like you, we are part of the solution. We cannot solve this challenge on our own. We have to work with everyone.
