MVV is convinced that a strong concept can change everything. With the "Energize Our Future 2026" programme, the company is looking for committed start-ups who want to advance the energy sector with creative ideas, new technologies and sustainable approaches.

The aim is to shape the future of energy together. MVV wants to accelerate the energy turnaround, further reduce fossil fuels and make the energy supply climate-neutral - for current and future generations.

"With every step we take towards climate neutrality, the complexity of our systems increases," says the appeal. More and more data needs to be processed and players need to be networked with each other. This is where the program comes in: We are looking for solutions that make everyday energy use more sustainable, digital and efficient.

As an incentive, MVV is offering up to €50,000 in funding for a proof of concept (PoC) or a minimum viable product (MVP). In addition, participating start-ups receive access to extensive company data, technical know-how and the expertise of MVV specialists.

If the solution is convincing and fits perfectly into the company concept, a long-term partnership awaits. The aim is to develop promising ideas into marketable solutions that will change the energy sector in the long term.

Interested start-ups can apply now and shape the future of energy together with MVV!
