    Funding

     

    I want to tell you about our great idea – what it is all about and how we got it funded.

     

    ÜberEnergy is a small but dedicated and innovative group of researchers who are passionate about energy efficiency and smart energy. In 2016 we moved from Silicon Valley to Berlin to take advantage of Germany’s favorable political and business environment for greener energy. We had lots of ideas, but concentrated on one to take to the next level. We knew it was sound, but needed funding to turn it into a workable business concept.

  • Get Started Energy Network by Bitkom

    Bitkom

     

    ÜberEnergy participated in the launch of the Get Started Energy Network, organized by Bitkom and hosted in Google’s office in Berlin, on DATE. The launch featured a panel discussion involving established players in the energy field, startups and politicians about the role of startups in Germany during the energy revolution and the next steps in the “Energiewende”. The launch was a great opportunity for ÜberEnergy’s founders to talk about the challenges faced by startups in the energy field in Germany.

     

    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.

    Fablab

     

    Is your organization more than a software development startup? If so, you might want to check out FabLab. We first came across FabLab Berlin through the GTEC, in which FabLab is a selected partner. FabLab is an open digital fabrication studio, which offers anything one could ever need for prototyping: 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers and other state-of-the-art technologies. In addition, FabLab offers introductory workshops for users of their devices. ÜberEnergy staff members have already completed training sessions on 3D printing and Auto Fusion 360; they enabled us to start printing the casing of our product, designed by the Californian designer Joseph Knight. Thanks to the great staff at the FabLab, our prototyping is progressing at top speed!

    Straight after a busy and productive Pioneers Festival in Vienna, on May 26th ÜberEnergy presented to the Cleanweb Berlin Meetup participants. This Meetup was dedicated to the role of machine learning in Green Tech. The first speaker, Professor Marius Kloft, gave an amazing introduction to the field of machine learning (ML) with an emphasis on how ML can contribute to sustainability. ÜberEnergy followed with a concrete example of how occupancy prediction and ML can maximize energy efficiency.

     

    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!
