With more than 100 participants – including startups, companies, researchers, and investors – we not only discovered forward-thinking solutions for the future of mobility and energy, but also discussed how to further develop and implement them.

Outstanding Innovations in Mobility & Energy
6 international startups took the stage at the ÖBB Open Innovation Factory to present their innovative solutions for a sustainable energy and mobility future. Here’s a quick summary:

• IPIN LABS is developing an AI-based indoor positioning system. Their solution helps companies utilize assets more efficiently, reduce search times, and increase safety. Already used by major international companies, the technology brings smart automation to modern industrial environments.
  
• Batterfly provides comprehensive e-mobility solutions – from real-time battery monitoring and used EV certification to CO₂ tracking. Combined with ecosystem support and technical know-how, they deliver safe, sustainable, and data-driven mobility solutions from production to reuse.
  
• TRAKEN is building an innovative software solution for data management and traceability in smart grids. Using blockchain technology, they offer a secure, transparent, and decentralized platform aimed at giving small energy producers access to premium energy markets.
  
• GERAD Tech produces low-carbon hydrogen from industrial emissions – without using water and without emitting CO₂. Their patented process integrates directly into refineries and supports the decarbonization of aviation and other industries through a resource-efficient alternative to traditional hydrogen production.
  
• Link Robotics develops intelligent localization and navigation systems for outdoor vehicles. Their solution combines cameras and sensors to determine precise positioning even in GPS-challenged environments like tunnels, between buildings, or under trees. It’s weather-resistant, cost-effective, easy to install, and provides centimeter-level accuracy.
  
• sonnnig helps companies make their energy transition visible and impactful – not just environmentally, but also as a benefit for employees. Through energy communities, employees can measure their power consumption, smart-charge EVs, and save money. The solution works without new hardware or tariff changes and brings sustainability into everyday work life.
