As Spain accelerates its efforts toward a sustainable energy future, startups are emerging as pivotal players in the transformation of the energy sector. These innovative companies are introducing advanced technologies designed to enhance renewable energy generation, digitalization, and promote a circular economy.
One of the key initiatives is being led by Moeve, a corporate entity that is embracing the startup ecosystem through its acceleration program, Moeve light up. This program aims to identify and partner with startups that can tackle the ten challenges posed by the energy transition. In an effort aligning with its 2030 Positive Motion strategy, which targets net-zero emissions, Moeve has selected nine startups from a diverse pool to join its program.
Currently, these startups are working closely with Moeve's experts on projects focused on green molecules like green hydrogen and second-generation biofuels, as well as digital solutions harnessing artificial intelligence. The significant advancements and innovations they produce are expected to be showcased during a Demo day in 2026. This event will highlight the technologies deemed most promising, which will then be further developed and scaled at Moeve's Innovation Center and its energy parks located in Andalusia.
The integration of startup technologies not only demonstrates an agile response to environmental challenges but also encourages a cultural shift toward adopting sustainable practices among consumers. This collaborative effort stands as a testament to Spain's commitment to leading the way in sustainable energy practices and innovative solutions in line with global climate targets.
Spain’s entrepreneurial landscape is thus becoming a critical force in the energy sector, fostering a wave of innovation that promises to redefine how energy is produced and consumed.
