The collaboration between the innovative startup IO-Dynamics and the established company Weiss+Appetito is an impressive success story in the field of e-mobility and energy management. After meeting at a speeddating event for networking startups and corporates hosted by startport GmbH, both companies immediately recognized the potential of a joint partnership.
With its IO-ELON software, IO-Dynamics provides optimal monitoring and control of companies’ charging and energy infrastructure. This is where Weiss+Appetito comes into play. They were able to integrate and fully network their product “LiveCharger”, a modular charging infrastructure based on busbars, including charging stations compliant with calibration law. Via the IO-Dynamics platform, each charging point is optimally controlled, taking into account the on-site conditions, and made accessible for public use.
Hauke Lapschies, Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO) at IO Dynamics, expresses his satisfaction with the successful test phase and the partnership associated with it: “I would like to thank Weiss+Appetito for the trust they have placed in us. The regular exchange between our teams was extremely productive and enabled us to work together on the challenges and find solutions. I am certain that this implementation was a valuable opportunity for both sides to learn from each other and become even better in e-mobility. I am confident that the insights and experience gained have allowed us to create a solid foundation for joint projects in the future.”
Maurice Simkins, Head of Product Development & Innovation at Weiss+Appetito, also spoke highly of the collaboration: “At a startup-corporate speeddating event hosted by startport, we were fortunate to meet IO-Dynamics. Their backend approach with a focus on energy management is forward-looking and can be combined excellently with our “LiveCharger”, enabling us to offer our customers an even more flexible and future-proof product. Now that the pilot project has been successfully completed, our shared goal is to electrify company car parks across Germany in a smart and efficient way. A heartfelt thank you and high praise at this point to Hauke and the entire IO-Dynamics team for the great collaboration.”
The partnership between IO Dynamics and Weiss+Appetito is an outstanding example of the synergy effects that can arise when innovative startups and established companies come together. Through the exchange of expertise, the integration of technologies, and constructive collaboration, both companies were able to combine their strengths and jointly shape a sustainable future through efficient e-mobility.
