On 24 October 2019, Wirtschaftsclub Karlsruhe recognised the forward-looking entrepreneurship of Dr Christoph Schlenzig, founder and CEO of Seven2one. In his laudatory speech, journalist and author Dr Franz Alt said that Dr Schlenzig had taken on responsibility for both social and environmental issues and had truly set himself apart in doing so.
The energy transition needs pioneers
He also acknowledged Christoph Schlenzig’s commitment as an entrepreneur and as a board member of Smart Grids Platform Baden-Württemberg and energy network fokus energie. He added that it is precisely committed pioneers such as these that are needed to make the energy transition a reality. Christoph Schlenzig actively supports the mission of advancing the energy transition by establishing TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe and Baden-Württemberg as beacons for smart energy solutions in Germany, he said.
The “Wirtschaftsclub Karlsruhe Prize” was awarded for the first time at this event. Wirtschaftsclub Karlsruhe confers this award to honour companies in the region for particularly forward-looking ideas and their associated commitment to the good of society.
