Maximilian Dekorsy and Dr. Henry Keppler founded ecoplanet in July 2022 to support industrial companies in Europe with the energy transition. In recent months and years, increased prices and stricter regulations have increased the pressure on companies to manage the transition to a green future in order to maintain their long-term competitive advantage. ecoplanet offers companies a holistic energy management system to facilitate this transition. By leveraging smart meter data, ecoplanet enables AI and big data analytics to help companies automatically save costs and achieve their sustainability goals.

The startup gives customers access to real-time data every minute and automatically recommends measures to reduce consumption using AI and big data analytics. Direct compatibility with some EMS reduces the implementation effort.
