Berlin – PLAN-B NET ZERO was honoured with the prestigious Future Award in front of 8,500 attendees at Europe’s largest AI festival, the Big Bang Festival. The award jury of the German Institute for Sustainability & Economics recognised the company’s visionary contribution to transforming the energy market and accelerating the energy transition through the integration of artificial intelligence, big data, and renewable energy.

The independent jury was particularly impressed by PLAN-B NET ZERO’s ability to combine green energy with artificial intelligence, community-driven approaches, and innovative business models. The concept of transforming traditional electricity customers into active community members—who contribute to sustainable consumption through gamification, CO₂ tracking, and shared challenges—proved especially convincing.

“This honour is a powerful signal and a validation of our mission to make energy not only CO2-free, but also smart, data-driven, and a shared experience,” said Bradley Mundt, founder and CEO of PLAN-B NET ZERO. “We are showing that the energy transition is not only an ecological necessity, but also an attractive business model for the future. Our thanks go to the jury and to our entire team, whose passion and innovative strength are making this vision a reality.”

The presentation of the Future Award at the Big Bang AI Festival underscores the growing importance of GreenTech and AI companies for the sustainable transformation of economy and society. The festival is regarded as one of Europe’s most important platforms for thought leaders, investors, and innovators.

Neo Energy: The Tech Revolution Currently Transforming the Energy Industry18.3.2026 08:17:23 EET | Press release

Berlin/Zurich, March 2026 – The energy market is experiencing the same shift that fintech went through nine years ago. Back then, digital pioneers transformed banking not by building better branches, but through a fundamentally new understanding of what a customer relationship could be.

Clean energy needs a clean planet: PLAN-B NET ZERO and everwave launch joint initiative20.2.2026 14:48:44 EET | Press release

Berlin - A strong start to 2026. PLAN-B NET ZERO enters into a partnership with the Aachen-based environmental scale-up everwave. With the guiding principle ‘1 euro = 1 kilogram of waste’, the partners recovered 10,000 kilograms of waste from rivers in Cambodia at the start of the initiative. Around 11 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the oceans every year. Without effective countermeasures, this volume could almost triple by 2040. Studies show that about 80 percent of marine plastic reaches the sea via roughly 1,656 rivers worldwide. To date, everwave has removed more than 2.4 million kilograms of plastic from rivers in Cambodia, Albania, and Thailand. The company uses waste collection boats, barriers, and manual cleanups to stop plastic before it reaches the oceans. At the same time, mobile sorting and recycling solutions return materials efficiently to the circular economy. AI support optimizes collection routes to clean as many waterways as possible in a sustainable way. The p
