For the third time in its existence, the Rockstart Smart Energy batch of startups presented their businesses during a Demo Day. A summary of the 10 pitches.
Program director Smart Energy Freerk Bisschop explained the focus of this year's startups: Internet of Things and (to a lesser extent) Artificial Intelligence. IoT of course is relevant to energy – the more devices connected, the more energy will be consumed. AI can be used for the virtual assistance in, for instance, energy management and in chatbots.
