We will have talks from industrial and academic partners sharing their experiences, here is the program:
18:45 Welcome
19:00 - 19:15 Thomas Chrometzka, Director of GIZ Thailand
Impulse Talk on Thai islands agile electrification project and potential of smarter microgrids
Thomas Chrometzka is a renewable energy enthusiast currently the Director Renewable Energy with GIZ Thailand. His team works with the Thai Ministry of Energy on enabling sustainable business partnerships to support faster renewable energy take-up in the region. Thomas and his team facilitate market entry for renewable energy companies, do policy analysis, provide capacity building and contribute to developing reference projects in the renewable energy sector. Lately, he has been working on implementing fuel saver and hybrid-grids solutions on Thai islands, which made him look toward blockchain for new solutions.
19:20 - 19:35 David Oren, CEO of Solarly
Impulse Talk on Solar home system business model innovation & fresh insights from the customer validation journey in Cameroon
David is the co-founder and CEO of Solarly aimed at bringing energy and life changing services in Sub-Saharan Africa. Solarly equips rural households with an up-to-date, affordable, and connected SOLAR HOME SYSTEM providing an easy access to electricity, creating opportunities for economic development, and giving self-sufficiency to the people. David was also involved with YEP! Young Entrepreneurs Project to educate a new generation of entrepreneurs.
19:40 - 19:55 Stefan Grosjean, CEO Smappee
Our homes are decentralized power hubs - Smappee is a traffic controller in a busy intersection
Stefan is an international expert in Smart Grids & Energy Management. He founded EnergyICT in 1991 and grew this company into a worldwide leader in the area of energy management solutions for Commercial & Industrial enterprises, DSO’s and utilities. Stefan has received multiple recognitions, incl. “Entrepreneur of the year” (2000) and “European Business Award for the Environment” (2010). He holds a Master Degree in Electric & Electronics Engineering as well as an MBA from the Vlerick Business School. One of the main drivers behind founding Smappee was frustration with the way the energy market works and the way the big energy companies are treating the consumers. Smappee gives the consumers the means to see through the mist and keep control over their own consumption.
