NEW VIDEO: What does the future hold for Verv’s Energy Trading Platform?

Last week, our Blockchain Project Manager Gavriel Landau and our Head of Product Blockchain Yi Jean Chow, were in Australia as part of the second phase of the Free Electrons accelerator program which connects the world’s most promising energy startups with leading utility companies. The accelerator saw Verv being chosen from over 500 applicants which was an incredible feat.

The idea of the accelerator is that start-ups like Verv bring the game-changing ideas and technology and the utilities bring scale and a very large, international customer base. We’re excited to let you know that in Australia we had some very promising conversations with some of the key utilities which we can’t wait to update you on! Partnering with such huge companies and extending the network of the Verv energy trading platform and accompanying VLUX token is set to have a big impact on our future.

To give you an idea of which utilities are part of the accelerator, we have : Ausnet Services (Australia), CLP (Hong Kong), DEWA (Dubai), EDP (Portugal), ESB (Ireland), Innogy (Germany), Origin Energy (Australia), SP Group (Singapore) and Tokyo Electric Power Company (Japan), with American Electric Power (USA) participating as well. The program is supported by Beta-i (Portugal).

Free Electrons also took the time to interview Gavriel Landau, our blockchain project manager, whilst in beautiful Australia. Check out the video in which he speaks about how we perceive the energy sector landscape, how we aim to accomplish our goals, what makes us unique and how we aim to be the future of energy!
