In order to ensure long-termprosperity, Europe decided to use renewable energy sources for the energy system in the future. This system change leads to a decentralized energy system with new market participants: the current consumers are now also becoming electricity producers.For a successful energy conversion, one is dependent on the active participation of a company, for which energy topics are not part of everyday life. For this reason, companies from the energy-related industries have to pick up their customers at the right level and to understand their situation during the consultation process. Only in this way can a rapid and efficient conversion of the energy system be carried out. Eturnity creates the basis for this with its products and technologies and thus supports a successful energy conversion. |  | Venture - Series Unknown | Mar 24, 2026 |  |
