On 4 April, at the 15th National Forum of Eco-Enterprises held at the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty in Paris, Be Energy was awarded the Trophée de l'Éco-Entreprise Innovante in the " Waste and Circular Economy" category.

Organised by the Ministry, this major event brought together key players in the ecological transition, offering them an exceptional platform to showcase their innovative solutions. The event gave Be Energy the opportunity to engage in discussions with major companies, local authorities, investors and innovation partners, underlining the Ministry's commitment to promoting innovation and environmental sustainability.

Focus on the Trophée de l'Éco-Entreprise Innovante 2024 (Innovative Eco-Enterprise Trophy 2024)

Every year, the Trophée de l'Éco-Entreprise Innovante is awarded at the Forum National des Éco-Entreprises, a joint initiative of PEXE and ADEME. The award recognises companies whose innovations promote the transition to a more ecological, energy-efficient and circular economy.

The 2024 edition of the Trophy focused on four main categories: water and biodiversity, air, buildings and mobility, waste and the circular economy, and renewable energies and energy efficiency.

The 15th edition, held at the offices of the French Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty in Paris, saw four companies, chosen from hundreds of applicants, honoured for their innovation and impact in their respective fields. Among the ten finalists, Be Energy came out on top, taking the prize in the 'Waste and Circular Economy' category for its cutting-edge technology for regenerating batteries and oils. The other winning companies include :

- Cactile, recognised for its water management system in the "Water and Biodiversity" category;

- Mob-Energy, awarded for its recharging solutions for electric vehicles in the "Air, buildings and mobility" category;

- Enogia, winning for its conversion of waste heat into electricity in the "Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency" category.

Each winner was honoured not only with a trophy, but also with a package of rewards designed to support and promote their business. These benefits include a stand at the Pollutec exhibition, an event that Be Energy will be attending shortly.

An exciting event full of discussions and insights

The Forum National des Éco-Entreprises on 4 April attracted more than 500 participants and resulted in more than 1,100 business contacts. Be Energy took an active part in the B2B meetings, innovation showcases and dedicated workshops, seizing the opportunity to interact with potential partners and discuss recent innovations and support available to eco-companies. Among the notable meetings were discussions with senior executives from Renault, Gaz de France, the French Ministry of Defence and Veolia.
