Green Energy Lab – Project “Open Data Platform”

The “Open Data Platform” is a central interface in the Green Energy Lab – all results generated in the Green Energy Lab flow together in it. This gives users easy access to comprehensive, relevant data on the energy sector.

The project aims to deepen knowledge about interrelationships in energy systems. In the future, users from households and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular will be able to benefit from this. End-user data provides information about consumption-intensive applications and enables a better overview and understanding of energy costs. The analysis of consumption patterns and load flows of users is also the basis for the development of forecasting models. This is an important step to be able to respond to the flexible needs of the end-users even more in the future.

For this purpose, twingz processes disaggregated end-user data to develop consumption patterns, derive forecasting models, and provide recommendations for different actors along the energy supply chain.
The result of the disaggregation is the identification of the most electricity-consuming appliances in the household. In a later phase of the project, the result can also be made available to consumers via apps (e.g. EVN App) and other platforms (e.g. Smart Grid Control subproject market and energy community platform) so that they can understand the energy costs of their household and the impact on the system. Thus, consumers have all the tools in their hands to decide whether to participate in energy markets and system services.

Glacier and the Green Tech Cluster have jointly produced an overview of Austria’s ClimateTech start-ups.

The map is divided into the areas “Food & Agriculture”, “Energy”, “Mobility”, “Manufacturing & Industry”, “Buildings & Infrastructure” and “Circular & More”. Here you will find well-known names like Too Good To Go and Rebel Meat (both in “Food & Agriculture”), Carployee and ummadum (“Mobility”), Refurbed, Das Merch and Meine Wollke (“Manufacturing & Industry”), Helioz (“Buildings & Infrastructure”) Atmos and Glacier itself (“Circular & More”). You can find twingz together with EET in the “Energy” section. There are also new names added, which are less known to the public so far.

Register your startup too!
The first version is now online, but of course not yet complete. Therefore, Glacier and the Green Tech Cluster have launched a call for startups to apply to be represented at the Climate Tech Landscape. Register now!

On Monday evening, the finalists of this year’s apti award, among them, twingz, held their final pitch in front of the jury and the audience and thus competed for the title of the best PropTech Start-Up.

apti award 2020🏆
For the second time the Austrian PropTech Initiative (apti) was looking for the best real estate start-up – this year in the two categories Early Stage and Later Stage. Now the winners have been determined: Ampeers Energy in the category “Early Stage” and twingz in the category “Later Stage”!

twingz – winners in the category “Later Stage
All finalists had a total of 8 minutes each to present their innovative business concept, answer any questions they might have, and face the top-class jury. CEO Werner Weihs-Sedivy presented the twingz Machine Learning and Predictive Analytics Engine, which makes useful information from the data streams of various sensors and providers available to humans, and convinced the expert jury in the category “Later Stage”.

The jury included the two well-known business angels Rudi Fries and Markus Ertler, apti advisory board member Eugen Otto (Otto Immobilien), the journalist Erich Ebenkofler (Die Presse), as well as the two main sponsors Daniel Dworak (willhaben, representing Judith Kössner) and Veronika Ecker (EHL Immobilien, representing Michael Ehlmaier). The international jurors Bryan Lyandvert (MetaProp) and Marie Daubourg (Fifth Wall) could unfortunately not be present due to the Corona Pandemic.

The two winners will receive an advertising budget from the media partners “Die Presse”, “immoflash.at” and “Immobilien Magazin”. In addition, they will receive one of the coveted places in the pitch box of the next “PropTech Vienna” worth 1200€. These and the other finalists (andys.cc, Realest8, metr, Nuki, PriceHubble, and R8tech) will also receive a one-year free membership in the Austrian PropTech Initiative. The audience was also allowed to vote for a winner again! The Start-Up Breeze Technologies wins in the public voting and also gets a place in the Pitch Box of PropTech Vienna.
