Hutten DDO – a Blockchain experiment – issuing the HuttenCoin employees could purchase in exchange for a donation to the SOS Children's Village near the Berlin gas turbine plant.
First Blockchain-Based Energy Experiments
Launch of internal blockchain experiments focused on linking energy projects, financing flows, and social impact. This included early token concepts to test transparency, traceability, and stakeholder engagement in energy-related initiatives.
2017
To demonstrate Blockchain to management, demonstration of an financing and electricity flow on a Blockchain.
2019
Building of a real blockchain based crowd investment platform.
Development of a Blockchain-Based Crowdinvestment Platform
Creation of a real-world blockchain-enabled crowd investment platform, translating experimental concepts into a functioning financial and technical system.
Start of Real-World Electrification Initiative (Senegal)
Launch of a donation-based initiative to support the electrification of the village of Ndiob in Senegal, marking the transition from conceptual work to on-the-ground implementation.
2022
Start of electricity production in the village and of issuing of our impact token, given to the donors to show green produced energy and avoided CO2 emissions.
Electrification Goes Live & Impact Measurement
Start of electricity production in Ndiob. Introduction of an impact token to transparently demonstrate renewable energy generation and avoid CO₂ emissions, providing verifiable proof of environmental impact to supporters.
2022
Recognising impact and scaling ambition or Siemens Energy Passion4Energy Award 2022
In 2022, c2e received the SE Passion4Energy Award for its pilot project in Senegal. The award became a key moment in c2e’s journey,
inspiring the shift towards a venture‑driven approach and laying the foundation for developing a digital platform and algorithms for enabling project scaling.
2023
Pivoting to a digital platform (not only financing) with the target, to sale decentralised electrification
Strategic Pivot to a Digital Platform
Shift from a financing-focused solution to a broader digital platform approach, targeting the full lifecycle of decentralised electrification projects - from site identification to investment readiness.
2024
Building a digital platform for cost and time saving for the whole electrification project life cycle, together with Colombian customers to develop, test and learn directly.
Co-Creation with Customers in Latin America
Development of a comprehensive digital platform designed to reduce cost and time across the entire electrification project lifecycle. The platform was co-developed, tested, and refined in close collaboration with Colombian customers, enabling real-world validation and learning.
2025
EU-LAC accelerator grant activities.
EU–LAC Digital Accelerator & Regional Expansion
Participation in the EU–LAC Digital Accelerator program. Start of structured activities in Brazil, focusing on adapting the platform to new regulatory, geographic, and market conditions.
2026
Field Tests and Expansion to Peru
Launch of platform activities and field testing in Peru, including pilot applications in remote regions of the Peruvian Amazon to validate data collection methods and project assessment capabilities under challenging conditions.
Our business partner from Wimesa Media Technology, was testing existing AI-driven solutions, to analyse existing tools, for development of a better solution for field-trips in the future.
The connect2evolve journey demonstrates more than innovation - it proves execution, learning, and scalability.
Over nearly a decade, connect2evolve has evolved from early experimentation into a validated digital platform for clean energy project development and investment. Each milestone reflects a deliberate step: testing new technologies, applying them in real-world electrification projects, learning from on-the-ground implementation, and translating those lessons into a scalable, data-driven solution.
Stay inspired.
