March 13, 2024
The energy-flexible new development FUTURA from hall heating specialist KÜBLER is the winner of the BVMW Future Prize 2024. Founder and managing director Thomas Kübler accepted the award in front of around 6,000 participants at the BVMW Future Day at Station Berlin.
„KÜBLER develops systems that heat industrial and commercial buildings in a highly energy-efficient manner while also providing targeted lighting. With FUTURA, KÜBLER has developed an innovative multi-energy IR hall heating system with integrated lighting that makes an important contribution to the decarbonization of buildings, as it uses all renewable energies digitally controlled via AI,“ said Jeanette Peter, member of the jury and owner of JPeters Consulting, in her laudatory speech. Former Senator Christoph Althaus, Chairman of the Federal Executive Board of Der Mittelstand BVMW e. V., said at the award ceremony: „Congratulations. This is a great honor. But it is well deserved. We really didn't have an easy time of it in the jury. You have made it into the top group here. Keep up the good work! Continue to be a shining example of innovative strength in German SMEs!“
„Thank you very much! Thanks also to our development team, which has done a sensational job here. Building a heating system that is energy-flexible and gives investors absolute investment security and availability. Especially in commercial and industrial buildings. And that is exactly what has ended up on the sidelines of energy policy. Yet these buildings are so extremely important for our value creation. We need to make the energy transition affordable—especially for these buildings. Because that's where our value creation happens, and we need to stop all this red tape and mistakes from suddenly driving away these important jobs. We can make a great contribution to this with the system we have developed here. Because you can use your PV electricity for heating in the same way as hydrogen or natural gas. You can also switch back and forth between the different forms of energy, depending on which is affordable and permitted at the time. I believe that this enables us to make a contribution to Germany as a business location and to securing our jobs,“ said the entrepreneur at the award ceremony.
The BVMW on the 2024 Future Prize, which is being awarded for the second time this year: „It is small and medium-sized enterprises that keep the engine running in Germany. With the Future Prize for SMEs, we are not only addressing the hidden champions, but above all those companies that have managed to come through the transformation process stronger than ever thanks to outstanding innovations, even in times of crisis.“
