Start Up Energy Transition

Start Up Energy Transition (SET) is a global innovation platform supporting innovation in energy transition since 2017. Powered by the German Energy Agency (dena).

SET is implemented with the conviction that a sustainable future is directly linked to innovative business models and political will. At its core, the SET platform is built on three pillars: the SET Award, the SET Tech Festival, and the SET Newsroom.

The SET Award is an international competition for start-ups worldwide who are working on ideas affecting the global energy transition and climate change. In the last seven years, the award has received more than 4,000 applications from over 100 countries.

The SET Tech Festival is a yearly one-day event in Berlin bringing together innovators shaping the future of energy.
