At Sono Motors we believe in mobility free of fossil fuels. We want every vehicle to be solar, electric and shared. Driven by this vision, Sono Motors was founded in 2016. Today, our company prides itself in having an experienced team of engineers, designers, technicians, and industry experts who are developing and building a forward-looking electric car that is suitable for daily use, with integrated solar cells and innovative mobility services. We build a Solar Electric Vehicle, which means we use the energy from the sun by integrating solar cells on the exterior of the vehicle. With our innovative technology, we want to create new possibilities for transportation.

TWAICE provides predictive analytics software that optimizes the development and operation of lithium-ion batteries. TWAICE’s core technology is the digital twin – a software that combines deep battery knowledge and artificial intelligence to determine the condition and predict battery aging and performance. This makes complex battery systems more transparent, effective, and reliable. Founded in June 2018 by Dr Michael Baumann and Dr Stephan Rohr with the vision of leveraging digital twins to accelerate the transition to emission-free mobility and green energy, TWAICE now has over 70 employees. The company uses scalable battery expertise to strive towards a green future for everyone.

Leaders in perovskite solar technology: Our low cost, highly efficient photovoltaic technology integrates with standard silicon solar cells to dramatically improve their performance. Built into solar panels, our tandem solar cells deliver more power per square meter – critical for delivering more affordable clean energy, accelerating the adoption rate of solar and addressing climate change.

GeoClimaDesign AG is a producer of capillary tube mats and offers them as completed systems for radiant heating and cooling for residential and non-residential buildings. The system is mainly installed in ceilings, in concrete, in and behind plaster board and is not only used in new buildings but especially in the renovation of older builders as one of most important contributors to energy saving targets in Europe.

Thanks to the low weight and flat design of the hydraulic capillary tube, the GeoClimaDesign System is an easy to install and excellent value for money heating and cooling solution.

The capillary tube heating and cooling is the key-product for CO2 free cooling and improves energy utilisation of heat pumps.

As a leading global specialist in photovoltaic system technology, SMA is setting the standards today for the decentralized, digital and renewable energy supply of tomorrow. More than 3,000 SMA employees in 18 countries have devoted themselves to this task. Our innovative solutions for every type of photovoltaic application offer people and companies worldwide greater independence in meeting their energy needs. In collaboration with our partners and customers, we are helping people transition to a self-sufficient, decentralized and renewable energy supply.

As a leading solar energy company, Meyer Burger is committed to this goal. At its modern sites in Freiberg (Saxony) and Bitterfeld-Wolfen (Saxony-Anhalt), the company will manufacture high-quality solar cells and modules “Made in Europe” from 2021. These are equipped with the proprietary heterojunction/smart-wire technology, which guarantees the highest efficiency at economic costs. The product range includes innovative and highly efficient solar modules for roof systems in the private and commercial sector as well as solutions for the solar power plant segment. In addition, Meyer Burger, as a recognised technology company, supplies production equipment for standard solar cells with PERC technology.

The group’s logo represents more than 20 SMEs specialising in steel production and processing, as well as steering, forging and casting technologies. Our value-creation chains range from the procurement and processing of raw materials to the production of ready-to-install components, and are closely linked with key industries such as mobility, energy or machine construction.

GMH Gruppe steel plays a key role in how customers’ products can become increasingly sustainable. Our steel production at the Georgsmarienhütte site is already more sustainable than that of many competitors, and it is becoming more and more climate friendly through innovative technologies such as our electric arc furnace, efficient use of resources, effective recycling management and clear plans for how we can get even better.

As the expert in the implementation of the most demanding metallic bipolar plates, CellForm provides its customers around the world with cutting-edge solutions. Our experience and know-how manifests in a history of welding bipolar plates which goes way back to the beginning of the Mercedes-Benz NECAR series in 1994. Based on more than 50 years of experience in tool development and manufacturing, our unique forming strategy allows us to implement even the most sophisticated flow field channels – putting us in a leading position within the industry regarding accuracy and filigree. These highly advanced forming and welding techniques consequently ensure superior quality standards and new dimensions of efficiency. Taking into account the need for large quantities of low-priced bipolar plates on the market, the design of our overall concept in combination with our standard system allows us to manufacture bipolar plates in great numbers at an industry-leading price. We excel at pushing the limits. We are forming future efficiency.
