Our mission
Digitalisation, the development of new technologies and innovative solutions are crucial for accelerating the energy transition and achieving climate neutrality. The department promotes innovations in digitalisation, advances pilot projects using new technologies and develops forward-looking business models. We support startups and promote the networking of all relevant stakeholders.
