🌱 Startups for Pilotprojects Wanted: Resilience and Physical Security for Critical Energy Infrastructure! Together with VERBUND and Energie 360° we are launching a new Energy Launchpad #VentureClienting Challenge powered Enpulse - the Venture Studio of EnBW Innovation. This time, we're tackling one of the most pressing blind spots in energy operations: physical and cyber-physical security of distributed assets. ⚡ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲:  Energy operators manage vast, often remote infrastructure – substations, power plants, transmission towers, depots, and solar parks. Traditional security and inspection processes rely on manual patrols, fragmented monitoring systems, and slow escalation chains. As drone intrusions, theft, sabotage, and operational blind spots increase, utilities urgently need smarter, faster, and more scalable solutions. 🚀 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: ✨ AI-based drone detection & counter-UAS capabilities ✨ Autonomous perimeter surveillance & robotic security patrols ✨ Drone-in-a-box systems for remote site monitoring & inspection ✨ AI video analytics and multi-sensor fusion ✨ Digital twin-based vulnerability and response planning ✨ Remote site verification & structured asset documentation ✨ Situational awareness across distributed critical infrastructure 🎯 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹: 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁:  ✔ Detects threats early and verifies incidents autonomously ✔ Improves operational visibility across remote assets ✔ Supports faster response and escalation ✔ Reduces reliance on manual patrols and fragmented systems Are you a #startup working in 𝗔𝗜 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿-𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵, 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 ready to collaborate with VERBUND, Energie 360° and EnBW?
