Individual Expert Programs
A specialist program on the EUREF campus is a highlight for anyone who is interested in the energy transition or is working on it themselves. At the beginning of the specialist program, you will receive an overview of the site as part of a guided tour and then visit the showrooms or offices of local companies to engage in direct exchange and gain a well-founded insight into their work on the EUREF campus.
The technical programs are designed individually for each group and usually take between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. We can accommodate groups of 1 to over 150 people. The following overview shows which company visits are possible.
Company Overview
Garamantis
AI & VR • Start-up • Multimedia
The start-up Garamantis creates interactive installations and virtual reality experiences as a trade fair highlight, for showrooms and exhibitions, with the aim of conveying information intuitively. In Garamantis‘ in-house showroom, you can experience product innovations up close and try them out for yourself. Immerse yourself in the virtual world with a pair of virtual reality glasses or try out the interactive display case, which allows you to control the exhibits yourself by touching the multitouch surface. Garamantis has developed a virtual reality application especially for the EUREF campus that allows you to virtually climb the gasometer – the landmark of the EUREF campus.
Inno2Grid
Smart Energy Systems • E-Mobility • Smart Grid
Inno2Grid creates sustainable mobility solutions and a future-proof energy supply for municipalities, districts, mobility providers, energy providers, companies and fleet operators. The zeemobase (zero emission energy and mobility base) is a place where mobility and energy converge and are networked both physically and digitally. Electricity is generated from renewable energy sources, stored locally and converted into mobility. Technically, the zeemobase is a micro smart grid that distributes energy as efficiently as possible. In addition, it is also used by Inno2Grid shareholders and partners as a real-world laboratory and platform for collaborative innovation projects .

STIEBEL ELTRON is an internationally focused group of companies and is one of the market and technology leaders in the fields of ‚building services‘ and ‚renewable energies‘. Started almost 100 years ago with electric water heating, STIEBEL ELTRON has been focusing on heat pumps for heating for 45 years. The environmentally friendly heating appliances based on renewable energies have become one of the company’s most important product areas. The decentralized and centralized ventilation units from the long-established company in Lower Saxony are the perfect addition to the home automation range. Whether it’s a detached house, an apartment building or a commercial property, STIEBEL ELTRON offers the right home automation solution.
Würth Elektronik Start-up Hub
Elektro Mechanics • Hardware • Start-up Enabler
Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG is a manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components for the electronics industry. In addition to their components, they also make their know-how available in their showroom. The application manuals offer professionals or interested parties a unique summary of practical knowledge. Würth also works closely with start-ups that are working on hardware solutions. They do not see themselves as a classic accelerator, but as a hardware enabler, by supporting the start-ups in building prototypes and making their network of manufacturers available.
encore | DB
Energy Storage • Second Life Battery • E-Mobility
encore | DB gives used batteries from electric mobility a second life as energy storage devices, thus promoting the circular economy and supporting the energy transition at the same time.
The idea of reusing used batteries was developed into a business model in DB’s internal start-up program, DB Intrapreneurs, which found a home at DB Bahnbau Gruppe in September 2021. The corporate start-up orchestrates the entire process from sourcing the batteries to manufacturing the battery storage systems.
The first prototype of the Second Life battery storage system was installed on the grounds of the EUREF campus in June 2022. The prototype offers a usable capacity of 72 kWh to support “time shifting” – the storage of solar power for delayed use – and other use cases on the EUREF campus.
Innos GmbH
Consulting • Networking • E-Mobility
innos is the invisible engine behind numerous major innovations in the field of energy and mobility. While others work on individual products, innos builds bridges between companies that would otherwise not cooperate with each other, thus opening up completely new markets.
innos plays a key role in networking companies that pursue common innovation goals and today more than 300 companies are working together on new standards for charging infrastructure – from large energy suppliers to innovative start-ups. What began as a network with ten founding members is now a global network that also includes companies such as energy suppliers, cable manufacturers and software developers, in addition to leading OEMs and manufacturers of charging stations.
Companies and institutions that are looking for solutions for the market of tomorrow, but do not want to act alone, turn to innos to find the right partners

The Berlin-based company is also active in other European countries and is currently installing 1,000 lantern charging points in Berlin. ubitricity is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Shell Group.
Mobility2Grid
E-Mobility • Distributed Energy Generation • Smart City
The core idea of the research campus is the integration of commercial and private electric road vehicles into decentralized energy networks. In this context, urban district development must contribute to the realization of the energy and transport transition. The aim is to realize the supply of electricity, heat and transport in an affordable and secure manner and based entirely on renewable energies with the help of new technical options and with the participation of civil society. The EUREF-Campus in Berlin serves as a test and reference site to describe the parameters of a decentralized supply industry for sustainable urban development. In six thematic areas, new fields of technology and innovative business models are being developed, and research is being conducted into public acceptance and the promotion of young talent.
