Our take

As the world transitions to sustainable energy, millions of new wind energy systems are being integrated into power grids. As well as the number of new consumer solutions, such as electric charging stations is also rapidly increasing, and the integration of these new systems is putting a strain on distribution grids.

Envelio is a cloud-based smart grid platform providing a solution to this challenge. The Cologne-based company has developed the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP), a software assistance system that transforms power grids into digital, flexible interactive smart grids. Through IGP grid operation management can be carried out digitally at a quicker, more cost-effective pace.

Born out of the Institute of High Voltage Technology at the RWTH Aachen, Envelio has since grown a steady customer base for itself and expanded on an international scale. Recognised as a clean-tech software company, Envelio is driving the change to sustainable energy.

Ann-Sophie Kuttner (Employer Branding Manager)

  • At envelio, our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) is a journey, not a destination. This journey is all about creating an environment where every individual feels empowered to thrive, contribute, and evolve alongside us. We are not perfect, but we are committed to growing every day — by listening to each other, staying informed about the latest research, and learning from our experiences. We acknowledge that we don’t have all the answers, and are open to feedback and new ideas.
  • Unconscious Bias Training: All interviewers in the recruiting process receive ongoing training to recognise and reduce unconscious bias. We regularly update this training based on the latest research and feedback from participants.
  • Come as You Are: We believe in the power of authenticity. There’s no dress code because we want everyone to feel comfortable expressing themselves. Whether it’s barefoot shoes or sneakers, a shirt or a hoodie.
  • People & Culture Meetings: Our bi-monthly meetings cover a range of topics, including DEIB. These sessions help to keep an open discussion in the company.
  • Gender-Inclusive Language: We remain committed to using inclusive language and regularly review our communication strategies to ensure they reflect our evolving understanding of inclusivity.
