eCAPITAL NEWS VivaTech, which takes place annually in Paris, is Europe’s leading conference for deep tech and innovation and is recognised as an important platform for visionary founders, technology pioneers and investors. With the ‘Top 100 Startups’ list, VivaTech highlights the most promising young companies that are significantly shaping Europe’s innovation landscape.
1KOMMA5° stands out as a pioneer in the field of climate protection and energy transition: The Hamburg-based company makes solar energy, battery storage and electromobility suitable for mass use and accessible to private households – a decisive contribution to the decarbonisation of the energy sector.
Exein, headquartered in Rome, is setting new standards in embedded cyber security. The company develops solutions that integrate security directly at the hardware level and thus create the basis for secure networked systems in an increasingly digitalised world.
We are proud of the 1KOMMA5° and Exein teams. This recognition by VivaTech underlines not only the innovative strength of both companies, but also the relevance of their solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our time - the energy transition and cyber security.
