YellowGrid, WiseWatts si Procesio sunt startup-urile de tehnologie care au câștigat CleanTech Corporate Hackathon 2025, primul eveniment dedicat  inovatorilor, startup-urilor și scaleup-urilor din Europa de Sud-Est care creează tehnologii și soluții bazate pe Inteligență Artificială pentru sectorul energiei sustenabile.

Ce inovații au câștigat competiția

YellowGrid, echipa care a câștigat primul loc și 5.000 de euro, este formată din Cătălin Stăncel, Sergiu Mureșan, Andrei Antohie și Cristian Cioabă. Aceștia au propus juriului format din companiile partenere un sistem inteligent de management al energiei care permite prosumatorilor să monitorizeze și să gestioneze producția proprie și să tranzacționeze energia excedentară în funcție de prețurile pieței în timp real.

„Am participat la Cleantech Hackathon pentru a valida soluția într-un context competitiv și colaborativ, dar și pentru a obține feedback din partea mentorilor și a experților din industria energetică. Această inițiativă este esențială pentru a sprijini inovația în domeniul energiei regenerabile și pentru a accelera tranziția către un sistem energetic mai descentralizat și sustenabil”, a afirmat Cătălin Stăncel, cofondator și CEO YellowGrid.

Pe locul al doilea s-a clasat WiseWatts, echipa premiată cu 3.000 de euro fiind formată din Mihaly Tordai și Mihai Sturza. WiseWatts este un copilot bazat pe Inteligență Artificială care funcționează precum un „coleg digital” disponibil non-stop pentru a optimiza consumul energetic și a integra sursele verzi.

“Noi suntem foarte prinși în operaționalul businessurilor noastre și parcă simțeam că nu puteam niciodată să ne luăm câteva zile să ridicăm capul din apă și să ne uităm în ce direcție să mergem. Hackathon-ul a fost oportunitatea perfectă să ne deconectăm și să lucrăm intens la ceva nou, pe un challenge care credem că afectează toate companiile din lumea de astăzi. De asta ne-am înscris, și a meritat din plin. Am avut ocazia sa lucram indeaproape cu numeroasele companii energetice si alaturi de atâția mentori faini cu care am pivotat ideea de mai multe ori și am cunoscut atâția oameni cu care credem că o să fim prieteni sau parteneri buni în viitor. Recomandăm pentru toată lumea!”, a spus Mihaly Tordai, cofondator WiseWatts.

Locul al treilea a fost ocupat de echipa PROCESIO, premiată cu 2.000 de euro și alcătuită din Mihai Dârzan, Marian Voicu, Cuore Nica, Răzvan Țimboiu și Nicolae Irimia. Ei au prezentat produsul PROCESIO, tehnologie de automatizare a proceselor de business și DiligenticAI – produs creat cu PROCESIO pentru extragerea de date din documente folosind Large Language Models. Cele doua produse formează un ecosistem de automatizare care extrage, structurează și sumarizează informații din orice sursa nestructurata de date. Rezultatul este reducerea cu până la 70% a timpului de lucru și minimizarea erorilor operaționale.

14 echipe finaliste cu 15 soluții

Câștigătorii au obținut premii în valoare de 22.000 de euro – dintre care 10.000 de euro cash, iar 12.000 de euro resurse pentru dezvoltare. De asemenea, au fost acordate premii de tip mențiune, precum și acces la proiecte pilot (Proof of Concepts – PoC-uri) alături de companiile care au susținut evenimentul.

Echipele care au obținut mențiune sunt SoftwareMedia, HexErgy (Italia), Reshape Digital, INCAS, Voltlink.    

Provocările competiției au fost propuse de PPC, Delgaz, Romgaz, alături de companiile interesate de soluții inovatoare  precum Distribuție Oltenia, Grupul Evryo, EnergoBit. Acestea au vizat soluții pentru transformarea sectorului energetic: de la managementul inteligent al rețelelor și integrarea datelor prosumatorilor, la co-investiții în regenerabile, agenți AI utilizați în procese operaționale și optimizarea stațiilor de încărcare urbane. Alte teme au inclus mentenanța predictivă prin Digital Twin, securitate cibernetică, precum și automatizarea inspecțiilor industriale cu drone.        

Evenimentul a fost organizat de Techcelerator, împreună cu ENERGY EXPO, Ascendis, Romanian Tech Startups Association cu sprijinul Ministerului Energiei și PPC  România.

„Am participat la Cleantech Hackathon deoarece gestionarea volumului mare de date nestructurate afectează global eficiența, siguranța operațională și conformitatea companiilor, în special cele din energie. Participarea ne-a oferit posibilitatea să interacționăm direct cu companii importante precum PPC și Delgaz Grid, să înțelegem ce provocări au și să descoperim ce consideră oamenii de business drept soluție viabilă pentru problemele lor. Această inițiativă este esențială pentru promovarea unor soluții digitale practice, rapide și adaptate nevoilor reale ale industriei”, a declarat Mihai Dârzan, fondator și CEO PROCESIO.

Evenimentul a fost organizat de Techcelerator, cel mai longeviv high-tech accelerator din România, împreună cu ENERGY EXPO, Ascendis, Romanian Tech Startups Association (ROTSA) cu sprijinul Ministerului Energiei și PPC România.
