Start Up Energy Transition (SET) is an international platform supporting innovation in energy transition. It is comprised of the annual SET Award and SET Tech Festival.
The initiative brings together the most outstanding international start-ups in the field of energy together with key stakeholders in the energy sector. Through the help of our global network, we received more than 1400 start-up applications from 88 countries in just three years. The submissions were evaluated by a top-notch final jury, which identified the Top 100 list of the most innovative, savvy and promising start-ups. The final jury, comprised of high-level individuals in the energy and climate sector, also selected the 15 finalists of the Award. Roughly 700 participants met and engaged with the SET Award Finalists at the 2019 SET Tech Festival in Berlin. The SET Award Ceremony was held following the Tech Festival at a reception hosted by the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue (BETD) – a high-level conference hosted by the Federal Government of Germany.
Meet the SET 100 at the 24th World Energy Congress in Abu Dhabi this September!
SET is powered by the German Energy Agency (dena) in cooperation with the World Energy Council.
