Wilfried Pimenta, Head of Business Development at IOTA Foundation: “This partnership brings the Tangle technology where it belongs: in the real world, enabling IoT devices and smart community models. The proactive, collaborative and open approach adopted by Innoenergy makes it a great partner for IOTA and its growing ecosystem to co-create and showcase the potential of the Machine economy”

Xue Wang, Business developer, product owner of EVe at InnoEnergy Scandinavia: “The collaboration between InnoEnergy, IOTA foundation and ElaadNL on implementing the Tangle Distributed Ledger Technology in the testbed will facilitate the development of smart community energy markets. The citizens will be empowered to use the decentralised clean energy/e-mobility services with a transparent, autonomous and secured transaction and data management system.”

Jonas Tannerstad, Chef El & Automation, ÖrebroBostäder AB: “ÖBO has partnered with InnoEnergy to implement innovation solutions regarding Smart Community and energy-efficient building automation systems. ÖBO supports the transparent and secured data and information systems for facilitating the solutions to our facilities and tenants. We are excited about the open and innovative approaches carried out by InnoEnergy and IOTA, and we are looking forward to seeing the EVe platform up and running in Örebro.”

Harm van den Brink, IT Architect Smart Grids & Electric Vehicles at ElaadNL: “At ElaadNL we research emerging technologies in the E-mobility domain, to assess the impact of these technologies. Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) is one of these technologies we really keep an eye on. In order to understand how it really works we built the IOTA Charging Station, a real working proof of concept to show the capabilities of DLTs. It’s in our DNA to work together with other parties, so share our knowledge and technology. Sharing the IOTA Charge Station with InnoEnergy is a great way of working together with our partners, and to co-create future technologies.”
