We grabbed 5 minutes with David Chang or elQdigital to find out what we can expect from to learn from his workshop at CHARGE Houston, on the 16th and 17th of May 2024!

  • Please can you tell us more about eIQdigital and your ambitions

eIQdigital is a pioneering force in the AI-first climate tech sector, focusing on digital transformation and sustainable energy transition. Our mission is deeply rooted in the belief that improving human quality of life is intrinsically linked to how we utilize energy.

Rather than adhering to conventional conservation strategies that primarily focus on reducing energy consumption due to cost and environmental concerns, we support a paradigm shift towards increased use of cleaner and cheaper energy sources such as solar, wind, and battery.

Our ambition is to democratize access to these sustainable energy solutions, making them more accessible and affordable. Our approach is not about using less energy but using it more intelligently, ensuring energy is both economically and environmentally sustainable. Through our suite of AI-powered products and services, eIQdigital is committed to transforming the energy industry, promoting a future where everyone can benefit from cleaner, more efficient, and affordable energy solutions.

  • What new developments in or outside of energy do you believe will be most

influential in the transition to customer-centric energy ecosystems? 

In the transition towards customer-centric energy ecosystems, hyper-connectivity stands out as a foundational pillar, enabling unprecedented levels of interaction, data exchange, and operational efficiency. Beyond hyper-connectivity, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are pivotal developments poised to revolutionize the energy sector.

These technologies, central to eIQdigital’s vision, enable smarter, more efficient energy use and greater consumer control, aligning with our commitment to sustainable and intelligent energy solutions.

  • Are energy companies facing digitization and integration challenges?

Yes, energy companies are encountering significant challenges in digitization and integration as they adapt to the rapidly evolving energy landscape. These challenges include modernizing legacy systems, efficiently managing large volumes of data, integrating renewable energy sources, and ensuring cybersecurity in digital operations.

eIQdigital provides a crucial role in addressing these challenges through its suite of APIs and digital solutions. These tools are designed to simplify complex processes, facilitate the efficient use of data, and enhance the integration of new technologies into existing systems. By leveraging eIQdigital’s innovative solutions, energy companies can overcome obstacles to digitization, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate their transition towards sustainable and smart energy management.

  • How are companies using innovation to become more sustainable?

Companies across various industries are increasingly using innovation to bolster their sustainability efforts. They’re adopting renewable energy sources like solar and wind to reduce carbon footprints and energy costs. Moreover, investments in smart technologies and IoT devices are enhancing energy efficiency by enabling precise monitoring and management of energy consumption. Additionally, sustainable material sourcing and circular economy practices are being adopted to minimize waste and environmental impact. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics are being employed to optimize operations, reduce resource use, and improve decision-making for sustainability goals.

  • What are you most looking forward to this year at CHARGE?

This year at CHARGE, we are excited to showcase our platform, Personalized.Energy, and its potential to revolutionize the energy sector and look forward to being part of the B2B Energy Innovator of the Year award at the CHARGE Awards. Our platform embodies the essence of what CHARGE stands for – creativity, innovation, and the future of energy. We look forward to demonstrating how Personalized.Energy can lead the way in empowering consumers and reshaping the energy industry.

  • What can participants of your workshop “Shaping the Future of Energy: Personalized Solutions Powered by AI and Digital Innovation” expect to learn?

In an era driven by consumer preferences and market innovation, Personalized. Energy, empowered by the advanced AI and digital technologies of eIQdigital, stands out by demystifying the process of choosing electricity and redefining the energy industry. This workshop will reveal how Personalized. Energy utilizes real-time usage data to deliver custom energy solutions, ensuring that every consumer’s energy needs are met with precision and foresight.
