The promotion of smart and sustainable energy solutions in Germany for many years has resulted in the establishment of an industry which offers some of the world’s leading technologies.

This industry encompasses several thousand small and medium-sized enterprises specialised in the development, design and production of renewable energy systems, energy efficiency solutions, smart grids and storage technologies. Also new energy technologies like Power-to-Gas and fuel cells are the basis for cutting-edge energy solutions.

Benefits of using Smart and Sustainable Energy Solutions:

  • Contribution to innovation, growth and employment
  • Independence from fossil fuel imports
  • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and contribution to climate change mitigation

The transfer of energy expertise, the promotion of foreign trade and the facilitation of international development cooperation are part of the German Energy Solutions Initiative.

They offer:

  • Networking and business opportunities both in your country and in Germany
  • Showcasing of reference projects
  • Capacity building

Please consult their calendar to learn more about events in your country or region. Here you can learn more about the services provided by the German Energy Solutions Initiative.

The Initiative creates Benefits for Germany and the participating Countries by:
