Date: 6 December 2018
Start-ups, established companies, institutions and project owners are invited to submit their entries for the 2019 AWARDS online from December 3, 2018 to February 28, 2019.
The success of renewable energies and the new energy world depends on the work of national and international players whose groundbreaking products and solutions will help accelerate the transition to a clean, modern energy industry.
These pioneers and their innovative technologies and projects are honored each year by The smarter E AWARD, Intersolar AWARD and ees AWARD as part of the innovation platform The smarter E. The finalists and winners enjoy a range of advantages.
Extensive marketing before, during and after the exhibition boosts their profile considerably, drawing the attention of exhibition attendees as well as the national and international media. This allows the finalists and winners to stand out from the competition by positioning themselves as leaders in technology.
It also helps attract new customers, partners and investors – also a major advantage for start-ups – thanks in particular to the networking opportunities offered by the AWARD Ceremony, which will be held at 5:00pm on May 15, 2019 at The smarter E Europe Forum in Munich.
PREVIOUS AWARD WINNERS ARE STILL REAPING THE BENEFITS
For the start-up ready2plugin, winning The smarter E AWARD 2018 was certainly profitable. “It’s incredible to see how much momentum we gained after winning – and it hasn’t let up even now. Both the award itself and the reaction we met with confirmed to us that experts and market players value our technology as a major step towards democratizing the energy transition,” said Markus Vietzke, CEO of ready2plugin.
The collaboration between Unlimited Energy Australia and TESVOLT is also a perfect example of the potential offered by the AWARD Ceremony in Munich. The two companies crossed paths at the 2017 ceremony and subsequently joined forces to set up an avocado farm in Australia powered entirely by renewable energies – a project which won them The smarter E AWARD 2018.
“We’re honored to have received The smarter E AWARD 2018 in the Outstanding Projects category. The prize has underlined the importance of energy independence in remote areas and helped us to promote decentralized energy options in Australia and worldwide,” says George Zsolt Zombori, CEO of Unlimited Energy Australia.
Daniel Hannemann, CEO and founder of TESVOLT, adds: “These awards are the Oscars for renewable energy projects around the world. Our project allowed us to show people around the world what modern technology can do. We’ve shown that it’s possible to have a power supply drawn entirely from renewable sources.”
THE THREE RENOWNED AWARDS AT A GLANCE
THE SMARTER E AWARD – CHAMPIONING THE ENERGY GAME-CHANGERS

The Smart Renewable Energy category honors outstanding, innovative business models and pioneering solutions in the cross-sector area, while the Outstanding Projects category recognizes realized projects undertaken in the areas of solar, storage, energy management and clean transportation.
INTERSOLAR AWARD – POWERING THE FUTURE WITH INNOVATION
The Intersolar AWARD has existed for over a decade and is now seen as the solar industry’s flagship award. It focuses on pioneering photovoltaic technologies, products and services that are propelling the worldwide success of solar energy. The award not only reflects international trends, but also provides new impulses for the development of the solar industry.
EES AWARD – INNOVATING ENERGY STORAGE
Since 2014, the ees AWARD pays tribute to pioneering products and solutions for stationary and mobile electrical energy storage systems. The range of innovations encompasses the entire value-added chain of innovative battery and energy storage technologies – from components to concrete applications and business models.
