THE CHALLENGES

Transnet BW

TransnetBW challenge –
Charging electric vehicles in a Roaming-free setup

You can pitch your results either onsite or virtually.

Challenge

  • Plan a market entry strategy for BANULA
  • Analyze the environment and the relevant stakeholders
  • Define measures and first products

Background

  • Operators of charging infrastructure for electromobility (charge point operators, short: CPOs) strive for a strong market position and therefore invest in the expansion of charging stations.
  • This business model is disrupted by BANULA: No matter who operates the individual charging station, it is always billed with its own electricity supplier.
  • BANULA will make charging of electric vehicles barrier-free and user-friendly in the sense that a customer can charge anywhere, anytime with one tarif, being independent on roaming platforms or more than one charging card.

Award

  • Follow-up contract by TransnetBW and the BANULA consortium (Schwarz, Fraunhofer IAO, Badenova, Becker Büttner Held, OLI Systems, smartlab, Universität Stuttgart) worth €50,000
  • Chance to present progresses at IAA MOBILITY 2023

Enpulse challenge – Business models in context with hydrogen

Challenge

Present innovative business models in the hydrogen context (e.g. hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, hydrogen as-a-service, …), which Enpulse can implement internally as impulses within EnBW Innovation.

Background

  • Hydrogen has the potential to be a clean and renewable energy source.
  • It can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, and generate electricity. Additionally, hydrogen can be used as a storage medium for excess renewable energy, such as solar and wind power.
  • This makes hydrogen companies important for the development and deployment of clean energy technologies, and for helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • However, the hydrogen economy is still in the starting blocks and needs good ideas and founders like you.

Award

  • Scholarship from Enpulse worth €120,000
  • Chance to work together with EnBW
