The more EV’s are on the road, the more charging stations you need to keep them running. To make EV’s the preferred choice of motorists, powerful public charging infrastructure is essential. Building up this infrastructure in Germany is the job of NOW (National Center for Charging Infrastructure). They bring the right players together, coordinate projects, and ensure the EV revolution doesn’t run out of juice. NOW is a company owned by the German Government and we are happy to have them at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL.

Fundamental change is a must to stop climate change. This is especially true for those who provide the fuel for a fossil-addicted civilization. Shell is undertaking big steps to become an agent of change. This shows in large investments in wind parks, charging points for EVs,  gas-to-liquid plants, hydrogen production, smart grids, battery solutions and more. The ambitious goal is to become a leading provider of green energy soon and turn carbon neutral in 2050 completely. Shell wants to convince everyone that an all-hands-on-deck approach is best for the mutual goal of stopping climate change. An approach that makes Shell a valuable partner of the GREENTECH FESTIVAL, too.

PMC develops and manufactures components and products made of fiber composites such as glass fiber reinforced plastics (GRP) or carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP).
What sounds a bit dry is actually a contribution to fight climate change. The reason: These materials are comparable to steel, but they are much lighter. And the lighter the material, the less energy you need to move it. PMC materials used in rail vehicles, for example, make an already green means of transportation even greener. PMC is a company full of ideas, and we are looking forward to seeing them at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL.

The German southwest has become a stronghold of green progress – just like its major energy provider, EnBW. With renewables already delivering 39% of the energy output, EnBW is set to become climate-neutral in 2035. A multitude of projects ensures this goal will be reached. From more off-shore wind parks to supporting private solar installations. From expanding biofuel production to exploring geothermal power. Investments in public charging stations provide more and more green energy for EVs.
If you want to see how efficient and innovative green transformation can be, visit EnBW at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL.

So far green mobility has been a choice between battery or hydrogen-powered vehicles. With SolutionAir a new concept enters the stage: compressed air. Energy can be stored in vast amounts when you put air under pressure. When this energy is released again it can do a lot of things. For example, powering a car. Apart from changing a few details, you can use your good old combustion engine. And you need a new tank of course. Filling up the car with compressed air can be done swiftly. And you have an incredible reach of more than 600 km. That sounds truly amazing. So have a look at SolutionAir and their revolutionary idea at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL.

To fully appreciate KnowledgeCotton, you have to know things. Did you know, for example, that conventional cotton production is responsible for much more greenhouse gases than air travel? Or that in arid regions, 2.700 liters of precious water are used to make just one t-shirt?
KnowledgeCotton is the pioneer of organic cotton. That means no pesticides, farming only in regions with sufficient rainwater and much less CO2 emissions.
KnowledgeCotton makes cool, casual clothing out of organic cotton. Clothing you can wear to look good and with a good conscience. We welcome our friends from Scandinavia to the GREENTECH FESTIVAL.

To keep Diesel fumes out of the city, it’s best to keep Diesel-trucks out. The Volta Zero-Truck is here to do exactly that. It’s the world’s first fully full-electric large commercial vehicle designed for last-mile logistics. This means it brings goods from warehouses to inner cities without emissions.
At their current growth rate, Volta Trucks will remove 1.2 million tons of tailpipe CO2 by 2025. It will also prevent lots of lung-damaging particles. Improving city centers’ environments where air quality is at its worst is great. And a welcome contribution to the GREENTECH FESTIVAL.

Is it a car? Is it a bike?

The Twike-makers had to answer these questions thousands of times after inventing it in 1986. The answer is: It’s not a car – it’s a lifestyle! The Twike is an electrically powered three-wheeler that allows you to support the motor by pedaling. By doing this, you not only stay fit while commuting, but you also extend your range noticeable.  The Twike is also the most radical way of weather-proof and fast transport for two persons. Everything is designed to keep energy consumption unbeatably low. And yet, it is a lot of exceptional and incomparable fun.
We welcome the godfather of all modern electric vehicles with their newest model at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL.

These are two major problems of our way of life: We don’t work out enough. And there is never a charging station for our mobile phones, tablets, or laptops when we need it.
WeWatt has come up with a perfect solution to overcome these troubles: While you sit you can push pedals that recharge your electronic devices. You can do that at lounges, offices, receptions or any other public space that has a WeWatt installed. You can even work, while you work out.
“Doing your bit and producing your own electricity is both fun and healthy. We are also generating plenty of social contacts,” says Patricia Ceysens of WeWatt. We are sure this will also happen at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL.
