We are LIFEPOWR!

A young and dynamic scale-up building the energy system of tomorrow!

We take the road to net zero seriously and are convinced that our algorithms can make a difference.

At LIFEPOWR, we are building the intelligence behind the future of energy. Our Energy Management Strategies (EMS) combine mathematical optimization, real-time data processing and IoT technology to enable smarter energy use.

Our EMS brings together edge-devices and cloud-based systems to optimize market interactions and real-time energy decisions. In many ways, it works like an algorithmic trading model: with forecasting, optimization and automated decision making, we maximize efficiency and profitability.

The market is moving at lightning speed, which is why we are looking to strengthen our team.
