The smarter E AWARD – The Industry Award for Energy and Mobility Innovations

The innovation prize recognizes companies and their products that are actively shaping tomorrow’s energy world. The best and most innovative developments have been nominated for The smarter E AWARD 2024! Curious who won?

Pioneering the Future of Energy and Mobility

As we move towards a renewable 24/7 energy supply, the market for renewable energies is growing fast, and the electricity, heat and transport sectors are continuing to grow together.

But it’s not just the industry sectors that are growing together: From 2024, The smarter E AWARD will be presented in five categories: Photovoltaics, Energy Storage, E-Mobility, Smart Renewable Energy, and Outstanding Projects.

The new concept unites the previous The smarter E AWARD, Intersolar AWARD, ees AWARD, Power2Drive AWARD and EM-Power AWARD to honor companies whose innovative concepts and technologies make an important contribution to a renewable 24/7 energy supply.

ees AWARD Winner 2023

The ees AWARD is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious honours a company in the energy storage industry can receive. We are grateful for this recognition, but also humbled by the many innovations of our competitors. We are particularly proud that the jury recognised not only our technological achievements, but also our sustainability efforts. The integration of otherwise shredded batteries into our platform demonstrates our commitment to the environmentally conscious use of resources. With our platform, we not only want to utilise existing resources, but also reuse used batteries to contribute to the circular economy. This award encourages us in our approach to realise further international projects to close the gap in battery supply where large storage solutions are needed. We are determined to make our contribution to the energy storage industry and the environment.
