Call for Energy Startups by innogy

Is your startup applying AI to solve present and future energy problems?

Apply to win complimentary pass to BootstrapLabs’ Applied AI Conference 2018

Our energy needs are changing, becoming more sustainable, less centralized; we see “prosumers” taking energy generation into their own hands while millions of smart devices are being connected to the electrical grid, at home and at work, producing terabytes of data each day. Tomorrow, we will all become energy traders, even our belongings, such as cars (if we still own one) or our homes will buy and sell energy for us, autonomously. Our consumption patterns are already changing and with them the need for the existing, one way, centralized distribution system.

But this increased flexibility and agility comes at the cost of exponentially more complex problems to solve in a data-rich, real-time driven environment. For these reasons, we believe AI will not only be key to solving problems in the automotive, financial, healthcare or enterprise space, but also in the market that powers all of them: Energy!

Is your startup building the future of energy using artificial intelligence? We want to hear from you. Please click the button below for a chance to win a complimentary pass to BootstrapLabs Applied AI Conference 2018, hosted in San Francisco on April 12th.
