About dena & SET

dena’s mission is to contribute to the success of the energy transition. As a centre of excellence for applied energy transition and climate protection, it supports the German Government in achieving its energy and climate policy objectives. To this end, it brings together partners from politics, business, academia and all sections of society. Both nationally and internationally, dena develops solutions for climate neutrality and puts them into practice.

The Start Up Energy Transition (SET GIP) is a global innovation platform. The German Energy Agency (dena) is implementing SET GIP with the support of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE). The aim is to drive forward disruptive solutions for the energy sector and innovative climate technologies on a sustainable basis worldwide. The focus is on supporting innovations and start-ups that are developing concrete solutions for a climate-resilient future. Through various formats, SET GIP promotes networking, the exchange of knowledge and collaboration between start-ups, investors, companies and policy-makers.
