About us

A strong competence network of active companies, startups, research/development institutions and established players in the financial sector for future-oriented energy strategies and best practice examples. The Energy Forum bundles the knowledge of experts from the entire value chain of the energy sector, promotes rapid competence and knowledge transfer and networks business, science, education and finance. There is hardly any other region in Germany where so much scientific excellence meets such a high density of technology-driven companies as in Karlsruhe. Here, new technologies are developed for the national and international market and new products, services are brought to market.

In 2017, the Energy Forum was awarded a Bronze Label Certificate in European Cluster Excellence Initiative. The Energy Forum is very active and shapes added value for all stakeholders through cross-clustering with other networks in the region.

We offer access to the entire value chain of the energy sector, mobility, finance, IT as well as environmental technology.
