Andrey Beryulyaev, Digitalisation Department Manager, EkoNiva-APK Holding, has participated as an expert in the #AltEnergy forum on alternative energy start-ups. The event, organised by Step Agricultural Holding, was held in a business speed dating format — 4-minute one-to-one meetings between entrepreneurs and representatives of leading Russian companies.

During the #AltEnergy forum, 22 projects related to wind, solar, geothermal and hydrogen energy, biofuels, drone power units and various infrastructure solutions were unveiled to investors. After individual sessions, the business experts could take a closer look at specific start-ups and talk to their representatives. Further, the investors interested in the projects will be able to provide the entrepreneurs with advice and investment or offer other forms of cooperation.

‘Participation in such events is a great opportunity for EkoNiva to find new technologies to optimise the business processes. At the #AltEnergy forum, we established contacts with two companies to discuss possible joint projects, which is an excellent result,’ says Andrey Beryulyaev, Digitalisation Department Manager, EkoNiva-APK Holding.
