Recognising the critical link between the energy and digital sectors, we work towards fair, affordable, and decentralised energy systems.

Who should apply? 

We are aiming to revolutionise the energy landscape by leveraging the powerful synergy between digital and deep-tech solutions. Diving deep into our target ecosystems in Hungary, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Ukraine helps us:  

  • understand different local level challenges, 
  • identify gaps, 
  • spotlight crucial innovations, 
  • and best practices. 

Through collaborative efforts, we are crafting EU-level action plans that turbocharge the role of digital and deep-tech innovations in driving the energy transition forward. 

So, what's your role?  

We want to hear from you! Join our stakeholder dialogue on both national and EU levels and lend your voice to shaping the future of energy innovation. We are looking for innovators, experts and other stakeholders who would like to shape the future of energy transition. 

Together, let's make a lasting impact on the world's energy landscape.

Unify.energy   

Power to the people by building the Internet of Energy 

Unify.energy was founded to facilitate the establishment of the Internet of Energy. We envision that our energy demands will be fulfilled from user-owned, locally generated sources. On the IoE energy is exchanged peer-to-peer over self-balancing, semi-autonomous, multi-carrier systems. The IoE enables access to renewable energy for all. At the heart of the IoE lies the facilitation of local, integrated, interconnected, and self- balancing energy communities. Through the integration of renewable energy assets, coupled with digital services, we aim to facilitate self-regulating local energy communities and empower users to actively participate in and take ownership of their own energy systems.
