Power Electronics promotes for the second year the E-Mobility Hackathon in Valencia

Power Electronics leads the charge

As the main partner, Power Electronics set the central challenge of the hackathon, encouraging participants to address some of the most pressing challenges of the energy transition. The company leveraged this collaborative environment not only to foster new solutions but also to identify and attract top talent in the sector.

Over the three days, participants worked in teams to develop proposals that met the current demands of the energy transition, with a strong focus on sustainability and technological innovation.

This year’s challenge: Sustainable energy solutions

The primary goal of the hackathon was to develop a comprehensive solution that would promote an efficient transition to a cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable energy system, with a particular focus on integrating renewable energies into cities. Participants tackled key challenges, including:

• Integrating renewable energies: Optimizing the integration of renewable sources such as solar and wind into the electrical grid.
• Grid stability: Ensuring the stability of the electrical grid with the increasing penetration of renewable energies.
• Decarbonization: Promoting the gradual elimination of fossil fuels in electricity generation.
• Sustainable mobility: Promoting the electrification of transportation and developing smart charging infrastructure.
• Energy efficiency: Reducing energy consumption in urban areas.

A world-changing idea

Attendees had the opportunity not only to acquire new knowledge and skills but also to network with industry professionals. This event facilitated the creation of a diverse and professional network of contacts while allowing participants to develop innovative solutions that can have a positive impact on society and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Commitment to sustainable mobility

Aligned with Electric Mobility Week and World Electric Vehicle Day, Power Electronics reinforced its commitment to sustainability by offering all employees an exclusive discount on electric vehicle rentals.

This initiative, along with the actions taken during the hackathon, reinforces Power Electronics' role as a promoter of innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.
