The smarter E, a pioneering energy conference, concluded four days of insightful deliberations and dynamic exchanges in Munich. We're excited to share that our team received the prestigious Power2Drive Award at The smarter E Europe 2023 conference. This distinguished award recognises pioneers who are making significant strides in sustainable transportation, particularly in the fields of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.

With over 90,000 visitors from various energy industry sectors, the conference showcased an emerging pattern of new flexibility solution providers entering the market, underscoring the inventive, competitive, and innovative nature of the sector.

International interest in the European Union market was palpable, with American and Chinese solution providers indicating an aggressive intent to stake their claims. Conversely, several Asian nations expressed a keen interest in importing experienced European providers to manage increasing local energy congestions.

The recent energy crisis has highlighted the importance of demand-side flexibility, underscoring its significant value. As such, flexibility revenues have been identified as a viable means to overcome cost barriers associated with electrification, particularly within industrial processes.

"It's a wonderful opportunity to showcase innovation and how we can apply that innovation in the marketplace when things are evolving so fast. So, absolutely I would recommend it," said Johanna Izett, Account Executive at Hive Power.

"After a lot of work is super cool to get some awards" - says Gianluca Corbellini, CEO and co-founder at Hive Power.
