Burgenland Energie and CEYOND Establish Joint Venture for Pioneering Technologies
With the founding of Beyond Tech GmbH, Burgenland Energie takes another significant step towards innovation. The new joint venture combines CEYOND GmbH’s extensive expertise in digitalization and automation with Burgenland Energie’s in-depth knowledge of the energy sector. The goal is to foster strategic development and enrich the energy market with pioneering Solutions.
“Achieving our vision of making Burgenland the world’s first climate-neutral region requires continuous efficiency improvements and access to additional resources,” explains Stefan Zierlinger, Managing Director of BE Technology GmbH. “Digitalization and broadband are crucial levers for climate neutrality and economic development. With Beyond Tech, we are creating the foundation for innovative technologies that not only meet our internal needs but also benefit the entire energy market.”
Partnership for Sustainable Innovations
With Beyond Tech GmbH, the two partners are pooling their strengths to develop modern, efficient digital products and services for the energy industry. While Burgenland Energie contributes its industry knowledge, CEYOND complements this with a strong focus on digital transformation and process automation.
Christoph Schmutz, Managing Director of CEYOND GmbH, emphasizes the relevance of the cooperation: “The collaboration with Burgenland Energie enables us to optimally deploy our digital competencies and connect them with the demands of the energy industry. This creates Solutions that not only transform the energy market but also make a valuable contribution to climate goals.”
Furthermore, Beyond Tech GmbH will develop customized digital offerings for external clients in addition to internal projects. Stephan Sharma, CEO of Burgenland Energie AG, adds: “By combining our competencies, we are opening up new opportunities to strengthen the energy market with sustainable and future-oriented Solutions. This is a decisive step towards a climate-neutral future.”
Securing Long-Term Perspectives
The joint venture pursues clear goals: to expand internal expertise, secure critical IT resources, and increase productivity through innovative technologies. At the same time, it reduces dependence on external partners and ensures reliable project implementation in a highly regulated market environment. CEYOND, which was recognized as the best bidder in the EU-wide tender “Digital Platforms” in 2021, has already successfully realized numerous projects together with BE Technology GmbH. Beyond Tech GmbH is the logical evolution of this collaboration and a milestone for the joint digitalization strategy.
