Company
ECOsmart is a highly innovative engineering and business consulting firm for sustainable energy systems, resource conservation and efficiency. As a spin-off of the non-university R&D facility "4ward Energy Research GmbH", the core competence of ECOsmart is that newly developed solutions are brought directly from research into the market and implemented profitably (bridging the gap between knowledge and business).
ECOsmart links application-oriented technical fields of activity with economic changes (interlinking of two job profiles), whereby the (customer) requirements and framework conditions are at the center of the company's orientation.
As a R&D-experienced company, ECOsmart identifies the need for development that is still open and uses tried-and-tested methods to create user-friendly and market-compliant solutions / products.
The involved ECOsmart employees have many years of experience and comprehensive expertise in the field of energy technology and economics, as well as in resource conservation and Efficiency.
