Global energy transition is one of the biggest challenges in human history. But it is also an amazing opportunity for combining innovative business and the political will to create a sustainable energy footing for the planet to prevent climate change. Tomorrow’s energy system is already in the making — a defining endeavor in which established players and start-ups fight side-by-side. The Deutsche Energie-Agentur (dena) - the German Energy Agency - is one of the key drivers of this process. It brings together partners from politics and the corporate world, investors and start-ups across many sectors and countries to make energy transition an unprecedented success.

We know, our goals for a sustainable future are ambitious. They will include a wide range of sectors and need a focus on innovation. That’s why dena and its partners are initiating the START UP ENERGY TRANSITION AWARD.
