Enpal is Europes leading new energy company. We are building the energy infrastructure of the future: smart, connected, decentralized, sustainable, and innovative. We offer a fully integrated energy system consisting of a solar power system, battery storage, a wall box, a smart meter, and a heat pump. These components are connected via the AI-supported Enpal.One+ platform, forming an intelligent, decentralized, high-performance energy network. Enpal.One+ connects tens of thousands of storage units, directly connecting households and businesses with the electricity market. This enables real-time optimization of electricity procurement and feed-in, creating an energy system that is cheaper, more stable, and more efficient than traditional structures. Over 115,000 customers are already part of this networked energy future. Their installed systems have a combined output of around one gigawatt, comparable to a conventional large-scale power plant.

Optimal Dynamics introduces next-generation artificial intelligence to enable logistics companies to better plan, optimize and automate strategic, tactical and real-time operational decisions. Based on 40 years of extensive research & development at Princeton University in conjunction with decades of real-world application, CORE.ai reimagines how private fleets, dedicated capacity and for-hire carriers think about planning and operating their truckload assets, drivers and brokerage arms where applicable. Our platform enables users to ask hyper-detailed strategic "what if" questions via a simulation-based environment. We then leverage those outputs to maximize network profitability, increase asset revenue/utilization, reduce unnecessary cost and mitigate risk, all while keeping drivers moving in the most efficient manner.  Optimization is nothing new, but it’s extremely difficult to get right. Through the use of High-Dimensional AI, CORE.ai has been proven to achieve outsized impacts for our customers.
