The Bayerisches Zentrum für Angewandte Energieforschung e.V., or ZAE Bayern for short, is a non-university research institute with approx. 180 employees, which is institutionally supported by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. ZAE Bayern has two main locations in Garching near Munich and Würzburg and three branch offices in Hof, Arzberg and Nuremberg. ZAE Bayern has now been in existence as a registered association based in Würzburg for over 25 years. In December 1991, the founding members set themselves the goal of promoting energy research and providing training, further education, advice, information and documentation in all areas of significance for energy technology and the sciences concerned with it. To date, ZAE Bayern has developed into a nationally and internationally recognised research institute.

In its central areas of expertise - renewable energies, energy storage and energy efficiency - ZAE Bayern uses an interdisciplinary research approach to combine materials research, component development and system optimisation to create a seamless value chain. Researchers at ZAE Bayern work at the interface between basic research and applied industrial research and are involved in areas such as nano-materials, thermal and electrochemical energy storage, energy-efficient processes, photovoltaics, energy-optimised buildings and urban districts, smart grids and cross-sector energy systems (electricity and heat/cooling). 

Ferntech GmbH is a start-up that was founded in November 2016 for the development and commercialisation of a remote monitoring and control solution for decentralised power systems, such as mini-grids for energy access and mini-grids for commercial & industrial applications and off-grid customers. They are focused on bringing the smart energy revolution to decentralised energy systems with remote monitoring and control technology. Their concept is based on three core steps: aggregation of data, analysis of data and action. Their approach combines a physical controller, which connects to local devices and a cloud-based platform, and powerful API integrations which enable our customers to interact with their power systems from anywhere in the world. They are currently operating more than 175 pilot systems located in more than 15 countries.

MOZYS Engineering develop all-in-one solutions for Industrial IoT, especially for the use cases Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance.
