About Frequenz

Frequenz ist ein lebhaftes Technologieunternehmen, das bahnbrechende Lösungen im Bereich künstliche Intelligenz entwickelt, um den schnellen Übergang zu einer Welt der dezentralen Energie zu ermöglichen. Unsere Open-Source-Entwicklerplattform ermöglicht es Kunden, ihren Weg zu 100 % erneuerbarer Energie zu beschleunigen. Wir helfen Unternehmen, sich schnell von passiven Stromverbrauchern zu selbstversorgenden Prosumern zu entwickeln, die in der Lage sind, verschiedene erneuerbare Energiequellen zu nutzen. Wir ermächtigen sie, die Dinge selbst in die Hand zu nehmen, während sie eine bessere Zukunft für uns alle anstreben.

Wir sind leidenschaftlich daran interessiert, das Unmögliche möglich zu machen, indem wir veraltete Prozesse überdenken und den Status quo in Frage stellen, während wir das Stromnetz auf den Kopf stellen. Für uns ist die Edge die Zukunft, und unsere Reise hat gerade erst begonnen. Wir suchen Menschen, die bereit sind, kopfüber einzutauchen, aber seien Sie gewarnt: Es wird eine harte Fahrt, bei der jeder Tag zeigt, was wir erreichen wollen, als unmöglich angesehen wird. Wenn diese Herausforderung Sie nicht abschreckt, dann könnten Sie gut passen… schließlich ist es kein leichtes Unterfangen, den Planeten zu retten!

Gemeinsam mit unseren Kunden, Partnern, frühen Anwendern und Innovatoren entwickeln wir eine globale, hochmoderne, Open-Source-AI-Stromplattform. Schließen Sie sich uns an – der Planet braucht Ihre Hilfe!
