About Us

As a neutral catalyst and network orchestrator, we bring together grid operators, utilities, industry, research, startups, and policymakers. Germany is switching to renewable energy. That takes new solutions for grids, storage, and charging that reach practice fast. With us, you develop these solutions together with other companies and startups, test them in pilot projects, and open up new markets. Together, we lower the cost of the energy transition and accelerate its expansion.

From Generation to Consumption: We Look at the Entire Energy System

Generation, grids, storage, charging, and consumption, plus cross-cutting technologies such as AI and data platforms.

Voices From Our Network

It’s excellent that UnternehmerTUM provides this platform for startups and companies to collaborate multilaterally. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to achieve sector coupling. For us, the collaboration has been extremely rewarding.

The collaboration between us, Octopus Energy, and UnternehmerTUM is exactly how we work. We now need quick solutions that are not just on paper or in Excel spreadsheets, but actually implemented in reality.

The comprehensive cooperation between companies along the value chain in the energy transition is so important because this new interaction can only work if we don’t look at individual components, but at the entire energy system.

Herbert Diess, Executive Chairman, The Mobility House
