Energy Efficiency is one of the keys for a more sustainable, both in business and in environmental terms, present and future.
From intelligent storage to renewables the management of the power cycle is going mobile and everywhere. Smart Cities, Smart Homes, Smart Electric vehicles and the grid integration are hot topics where startup innovation is needed.

There is a huge field to explore in solutions such as devices and applications that balances the grid load and prices with the use of smart appliances and heating.

The unstoppable growth of electric vehicles, ranging from bicycles and scooters to cars, creates the need of charging stations and power consumption management that need to be attended with intelligence and creativity.

The past year, 2016, marked a shifting point in global energy investment as software surpassed hardware for the first time. The main reason behind this fact is that digitalisation supports new customer-centric business models.

If you are in a startup working in the Energy Efficiency field you must apply to the E-Qube Startup Challenge for a chance to win up to 30.000 euro and cooperate with Estra SPA, one of the leading multi-utility companies in the energy sector in Italy.
