Our Mission
At encentive, we are building flexOn – an intelligent energy management system that uses AI to control industrial assets.
We collect real-time data from assets, forecast their behavior, and combine this with external factors such as weather conditions and energy prices. The result: optimized costs and reduced CO₂ emissions.
Today, flexOn is a tool built by engineers, for engineers.
Tomorrow – with you – it will become a product that excites customers, delivers real value, and redefines standards in the energy industry.
🫵 Your mission
In the future, it will not only be crucial to consume less energy, but also to consume it at the right time - this is the only way to optimally integrate volatile renewable energies from wind and solar into our electricity system.
With our AI-based flexOn platform, we help industrial electricity consumers to actively flexibilize their energy consumption - in other words, to use electricity when it is particularly green and cheap. Our goal: to drive forward the decarbonization of the energy system - and significantly reduce costs in the process.
At encentive, you will not only have the opportunity to be part of a fast-growing start-up, but you will also be an important part of accelerating the energy transition from day one.
