Take this opportunity to help shape a new energy efficiency network for Bavarian Swabia from the very beginning. As part of the Bavarian Energy Efficiency Network Initiative (BEEN-i), we—together with our regional partners BVMW and FfE GmbH—will provide information about the proven network model, share real-world examples, and highlight the benefits that collaborating on energy efficiency issues offers to businesses.

Successfully Advancing Energy Efficiency—Even More Effectively Through Networking

Many companies face similar challenges: reducing energy costs, optimizing processes, meeting legal requirements, and at the same time strengthening their own competitiveness. However, they often lack the time, human resources, or opportunities to exchange ideas with companies facing comparable challenges.

The Bavarian Energy Efficiency Network Initiative (BEEN-i) supports companies in tackling these challenges together. As part of a new regional energy efficiency network for Bavarian Swabia, companies from various industries will come together to exchange experiences, learn from one another, and tap into concrete efficiency potential within their own operations.

The host company for the informational event is the Augsburg Industrial Park, which houses over 30 tenants from the mechanical engineering, IT, retail, services, and public sectors across approximately 150 Tm².

At this informational session, you’ll learn

  • how energy efficiency networks are structured,
  • what specific benefits participating companies can gain,
  • what funding and support options are available,
  • and how you can actively help shape the establishment of the new network in Bavarian Swabia.

In addition, companies from existing networks will share their practical experiences and highlight the initiatives and projects that have emerged from their collaboration.

Take this opportunity to network with companies from the region, make initial contacts with potential network partners, and learn about the opportunities offered by collaborative work within an energy efficiency network.

The event is aimed at companies of all sizes and from all industries in Bavarian Swabia that wish to improve their energy efficiency and reduce their energy costs.

In particular, it is aimed at:

  • Company executives
  • Energy managers
  • Sustainability officers
  • Technical specialists and managers

Energy efficiency networks help companies systematically identify potential savings and implement appropriate measures. The facilitated exchange of experiences highlights proven solutions and provides concrete ideas for practical application in the workplace.

The benefits at a glance:

  • Reduce energy costs
  • Increase energy efficiency
  • Improve supply security
  • Benefit from other companies’ experiences
  • Strengthen competitiveness in the long term
