    Orientation for real estate and utilities in the complex energy sector

    The ongoing digitalisation of the energy industry is being driven significantly by the integration of energy management systems (EMS). They use advanced measuring devices and sensors to monitor energy flows in the building and beyond in real time and make targeted optimisations. These systems play a crucial role in the transformation from centralised to decentralised energy supply. They also support grid operators in meeting the challenges of uneven energy generation, consumption fluctuations and the increasing electrification of heat and mobility.

    The EMS market has experienced strong growth in recent years, but this has also led to increasing complexity. In this context, the comprehensive EMS market overview from EZS, provides an up-to-date orientation aid for Swiss users.

    The comparison tool enables an initial evaluation of different EMS systems and thus supports both property owners and energy supply companies in making informed decisions. It offers a filter function, detailed provider information and the possibility to compare different systems with each other.

    The new Energy and Electricity Supply Act, which is expected to come into force on 01.01.2025, provides, among other things, for the formation of local electricity communities as well as the exemption of electricity storage systems from grid fees. This will create new business models in which EMS will play an important role. The EMS market overview serves as a guide to prepare for these changes.

    The market overview is available free of charge at www.ems-vergleich.ch.

    The Digitalswitzerland initiative aims to attract promising young companies to Switzerland. To this end, it launched the Swiss Market Entry Program, which was carried out for the fourth time this year in cooperation with the European innovation platform Kickstart .

    As part of the program, start-ups that are already successful abroad receive an insight into the Swiss ecosystem. Meetings with leading companies, public institutions and innovation programs are organized. The aim is to motivate companies to enter the Swiss market and to support them in doing so.

    According to an announcement , 25 start-ups from 16 countries took part in the Swiss Market Entry Program this year. They come not only from European countries, but also from the USA and Israel. A company from New Zealand also took part with CarbonClick . It supports companies in climate protection by giving them carbon offsets.

    The 25 start-ups were received in Switzerland on December 6th. The program took place in the Kraftwerk, a former power station that has been converted into a space for innovation in Zurich.
