Imagine a giant accelerator that connects students, inventors, and big factories to make clean energy cheaper and easier to use. It works like a venture studio that doesn't just give money, but also provides the right experts and partners to get a product to market faster. The goal is to make Europe independent and green by fixing the gaps in how we make batteries, solar panels, and hydrogen.
Energy companies struggle with high innovation risks, slow time-to-market for hardware, and fragmented supply chains for batteries and hydrogen.
A business execution plan for 2023-2024 that manages education programs, innovation projects, and business creation services.
If you are a battery manufacturer dealing with fragmented supply chains — this project developed industrial alliances that increase the capacity to support large industrial projects. This helps in reducing the cost of energy and increasing supply autonomy within Europe.
If you are a solar PV developer dealing with slow time-to-market for new hardware — this project provides a trusted ecosystem of 200+ investee companies. This reduces the risk of innovation and creates commercially attractive solutions.
If you are an industrial plant operator dealing with high carbon emissions — this project implements the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center. It helps fill gaps in funding and skills to realize a carbon neutral Europe.
One of the primary objectives is to decrease the cost of energy per kilowatt-hour (€/kWh) through innovation and industrial alliances.
Yes, the project specifically leads industrial alliances in battery storage, green hydrogen, and solar photovoltaics to develop strategic value chains for large-scale projects.
Based on available project data, the project operates as an investor providing cash and intangibles in exchange for equity in over 200 investee companies.
It reduces time to market and de-risks innovation by leveraging an ecosystem that supports 85% of its companies in exporting their solutions.
The current business plan covers the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with an 86% industry ratio consisting of 6 industrial partners across 6 countries (DE, ES, NL, PL, SE, US). This structure indicates a strong focus on commercialization and market deployment rather than academic research, as there are zero universities or research institutes listed in the partner breakdown.
