Thorsten Herdan – head of Energy Policy within Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) – was an active participant in the panel discussion. He expressed his willingness to work with startups on the next steps in the energy transformation. In his opinion, the legislature needs to facilitate digitalization, not create obstacles. ÜberEnergy is already excited about contributing to the next Get Started Energy Network discussion, to be held on June 23rd at Microsoft’s head office in Berlin.

After the presentations, Anna Bickenbach led the fish bowl where we dived into discussion about the future of sustainability. The audience supplied multiple visionary ideas about automating energy efficiency. We all agreed that we’re entering a new era in which technology enables enormous reductions in our carbon footprint. Thanks to all the attendees for a great event!
