Forge partnerships that power your competitiveness.


Connect with Europe's strongest energy deep tech providers to launch proof-of-concept pilots and partnerships that reduce energy costs per MWh, stabilise supply, and unlock new revenue streams. Over 500 corporate-builder partnerships have been triggered through DTM marketplaces to date.


Cut energy costs and stabilise supply.


Meet builders delivering market-ready battery storage systems, hydrogen electrolysers, AI energy procurement platforms, and grid optimisation tools designed for immediate bottom-line impact. European industrial electricity prices rose 43% between 2019 and 2024. Reducing cost per MWh is no longer a sustainability goal; it is a competitiveness imperative.


See what is on the energy tech horizon.


Gain direct access to fusion pilot programmes, next-generation solid-state batteries, modular nuclear reactors, and power-to-X conversion systems before they reach general availability. Evaluate technologies approaching commercial readiness for integration into your energy portfolio.


Shape European energy regulation.


Engage with senior government officials, grid regulators, and policy specialists on carbon pricing, Fit for 55 compliance, renewable integration mandates, and the evolving EU Emissions Trading System. REPowerEU targets 42.5% renewable energy by 2030, reshaping procurement strategy across every industrial sector.


Deploy AI for energy operations.


Drive step-change gains in energy procurement, demand forecasting, grid balancing, and asset optimisation. Move faster, reduce costs, and capture value from volatile spot and futures markets through intelligent automation.

Four interconnected tracks — spanning advanced energy storage, hydrogen and novel fuels, AI-powered energy procurement, and frontier energy systems — together form the full stack required to power, decarbonise, and optimise next-generation energy systems.

Energy Storage & Advanced Battery Technologies

Grid operators and energy procurement directors face a structural cost problem. Price spikes from grid imbalances drive up electricity costs and create downtime risk. Legacy batteries degrade fast, inflating cost per kWh and replacement cycles. Advanced energy storage closes that gap. At this track, 100+ large-scale industrial storage projects demonstrate how next-generation battery chemistries, long-duration storage systems, and AI-optimised management platforms cut electricity costs by more than 20% for energy-intensive industries.

Challenges that you face include:

  • Grid imbalances trigger price spikes, raising electricity costs and creating downtime risks for energy-intensive operations

  • Legacy batteries degrade rapidly, driving up cost per stored kWh and replacement expenses across industrial portfolios

  • Battery components struggle to boost energy density and speed without relying on rare earths, limiting scalability and supply chain resilience

  • Slow market adoption of emerging storage technologies like seasonal thermal storage delays new revenue opportunities

  • High upfront cost per stored kWh blocks large-scale adoption and undermines return on investment across distributed assets

Solutions you will find at DTM:

Next-Gen Battery Chemistries:

solid-state, sodium-ion, lithium-sulfur, iron-air, flow batteries

Advanced Materials & Components:

nanomaterials for electrodes, solid electrolytes

Long-Duration Storage:

thermal, mechanical, compressed air, gravity systems

Integrated Storage & Management Systems:

electronics, battery management software, AI optimisation

Hybrid & Modular Platforms:

combining multiple storage technologies for cost and performance gains

Novel Fuels & Hydrogen

Energy directors and plant operators in heavy industry face a decarbonisation deadline. EU regulations, including Fit for 55, ETS, and CBAM, are forcing the transition away from fossil energy. Novel fuels and hydrogen remain too costly per MWh for most industrial applications. This track closes the cost gap. At this track, 50+ hydrogen and novel fuel partnerships connect production innovators with energy-intensive industries to cut emissions by 30% at competitive costs.

Challenges that you face include:

  • EU regulations (Fit for 55, ETS, CBAM) force decarbonisation timelines, raising compliance costs and exposure to carbon border adjustments

  • Novel fuels and hydrogen remain 2 to 4x more expensive per MWh than fossil alternatives for baseload industrial demand

  • Missing transport and storage infrastructure blocks reliable large-scale supply chains for hydrogen and synthetic fuels

  • Safety and handling challenges increase operational expenditure and limit integration into existing plant systems

  • Limited scalability of green hydrogen production constrains adoption in heavy industry, steel, and chemicals

Solutions you will find at DTM:

Low-cost Hydrogen Production:

electrolysis (PEM, alkaline, solid oxide), plasma, microbial pathways

Synthetic Fuels:

e-fuels from captured CO₂, synthetic kerosene, methanol, ammonia, SAFs

Storage & Transport Solutions:

compressed and liquid hydrogen, Liquid organic hydrogen carriers

Conversion Systems:

high-temperature fuel cells, advanced industrial combustion systems

Catalysts & Advanced processes:

novel catalysts, membrane reactors, high-efficiency separation, purification technologies

AI-Powered Energy Procurement and Management

Energy procurement directors and CFOs face budget uncertainty. Volatile spot and futures markets create price exposure that conventional hedging strategies cannot fully mitigate. Manual procurement processes leave revenue on the table. AI-powered energy management captures that value. At this track, 50+ AI energy procurement pilots demonstrate how intelligent platforms cut energy costs by more than 20% for large enterprises through automated trading, demand response, and portfolio optimisation.

Challenges that you face include:

  • Price peaks in futures markets expose enterprises to budget uncertainty and overspending

  • Volatile spot and futures markets could be exploited while enterprises loose revenue chance

  • Fuel switching and adapting production processes to new fuels complicate operations and impact volume and cost control

  • PPAs and hedging instruments remain complex, limiting adoption and risk mitigation

  • Political instabilities amplify market swings, undermining long-term procurement planning

Solutions you will find at DTM:

Smart Metering & IoT:

real-time tracking, automated data collection, predictive load monitoring

AI-Powered Procurement & Trading:

contract optimization across PPAs, hedging, spot and futures markets, automated bidding, energy procurement autopilots

Energy Orchestration & Analytics:

demand response, storage integration, production-consumption balancing, energy portfolio management

& more.
