We are an innovation partner of the Future Energy Lab, a project of the German Energy Agency (dena), and actively contribute our technological expertise to one of the energy sector’s key projects for the future: the digital energy transition. Together with key players from the energy and digital sectors, we are working to develop innovative solutions, identify new technologies at an early stage, and provide sustainable impetus for politics, business, and society.
Role as an Innovation Partner
As a partner, we provide targeted support for idea development and technology scouting across the entire energy industry value chain. In doing so, we not only contribute technical expertise but also engage in strategic discussions regarding regulation, market development, and future digital infrastructures. The goal is to bring innovations into practice more quickly and to accelerate the digital transformation of the energy system in a sustainable manner.
SMGW as a Key Technology for the Energy Transition
As a leading manufacturer of smart meter gateways (SMGW) and communication technologies, we are constantly working to further develop the SMGW as a central component of digital infrastructure. Secure and highly available data communication forms the foundation for new applications—ranging from smart grid control and sector coupling to innovative use cases for grid operators, municipal utilities, and prosumers.
Particularly in conjunction with renewable energy, controllable consumption devices, and Section 14a applications, we view the SMGW as a key driver of innovation for a flexible, efficient, and resilient energy system. This partnership offers an ideal environment for integrating technological developments with strategic and regulatory perspectives.
Advancing Innovation Together
The collaboration embodies a partnership-based approach: bringing industry, politics, and academia together around one table to develop practical solutions for the challenges of the energy transition. The open exchange within the dena network generates new momentum that has an impact far beyond individual projects.
Outlook
Our mission is clear: We want to work together to shape innovations, advance the digital transformation of the energy sector, and make a measurable contribution to a sustainable energy system. As an Innovation Partner of the Future Energy Lab, we see ourselves not only as a technology provider, but also as an active contributor to the digital energy transition—today and in the future.
