This year, the Munich-based company has clinched the coveted HERMES Startup Award. ecoplanet impressed the independent jury, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, with its intelligent energy management solution. The award was presented by Cem Özdemir, Germany’s Federal Minister of Education and Research, during the official opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on March 30, 2025.
The award-winning product, the ecoplanet Cockpit, is an AI-powered platform designed to help businesses analyse their energy consumption in real time, optimise the use of dynamic pricing, and maximise the integration of renewable energy sources. The platform enables companies to reduce energy costs by up to 20 per percent while significantly cutting their CO₂ emissions. Additionally, this comprehensive solution automates energy monitoring, procurement processes, and grid fee optimisation, offering businesses greater transparency, improved planning capabilities, and a clear competitive edge.
Jury Chairman and President of the Fraunhofer Society, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, stated, “Intelligent energy monitoring is a crucial component of our energy transition. When companies succeed in optimising their consumption, they can save substantial amounts of energy, significantly reducing both CO₂ emissions and operational costs. ecoplanet is a startup company that supports businesses in this endeavour with its remarkable AI-based platform: within just three years, it has demonstrated measurable cost savings for its customers. ecoplanet focuses particularly on small and medium-sized enterprises, helping them reduce greenhouse gas emissions. On behalf of the entire jury, I sincerely congratulate them on their well-deserved award.”Presented annually by Deutsche Messe, the HERMES Startup Award honours companies founded within the past five years offering a product or solution that demonstrates an exceptional degree of technological innovation.
