Kitepower was selected to participate in DB Mindbox Startup Pitch Program in Berlin, organized by M. The event, focused on the future of railway construction, brought together 20 leading startups competing in categories such as energy generation and construction development.

The program started with an introduction and a series of workshops, led by industry experts, providing each startup a dedicated 30-minute session to engage in detailed discussions on their products and challenges. Kitepower made use of this opportunity to present its unique approach to energy generation and its potential contributions to the future of railway infrastructure.

In the afternoon, each startup delivered a four-minute pitch, outlining their solutions to the panel of judges and attendees. Despite a strong presentation, the award in the energy generation category was ultimately granted to Volta Energy.

Although Kitepower did not secure the top prize, the jury praised the company as “exciting and highly innovative.” The event provided significant value, offering expert feedback and extensive networking opportunities. The day concluded with a dinner, allowing participants to build connections with key industry leaders and potential collaborators.
