EnOcean celebrates milestone with Forbes Technology Council

Andreas Schneider, CEO of EnOcean, is celebrating his one-year anniversary as an expert member of the Forbes invitation-only community for executives leading their industry.

Munich – January 22, 2020

EnOcean uses the energy harvesting principle for its products, in which energy is obtained from the surroundings (motion, light and temperature differences) to power wireless switches and sensors for maintenance-free applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) for digitized buildings and intelligent LED lighting control as well as in smart homes. By using this technology, buildings reduce their CO2-footprint significantly. EnOcean is an experienced partner for hundreds of leading product manufacturers worldwide which rely on its established energy harvesting technology platform consisting of ultra-low power electronics, energy management, energy harvesters and ultra-low power radio. Depending on the application, the self-powered products use the international standards EnOcean (ISO/IEC 14543-3-1X), Zigbee or Bluetooth® for wireless communication.

Forbes Councils selects their members based on their depth and diversity of experience, who then are invited to share their insights and opinions on Forbes.com. Members have the opportunity to write business articles or submit short industry-related tips.

“We are so pleased to have Andreas Schneider entering year two as a member of Forbes Technology Council,” said Scott Gerber, founder and CEO of Forbes Councils. “Our mission with Forbes Councils is to bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world, and Andreas Schneider is an important part of that community.”

Forbes Councils gives him a unique platform to connect and to collaborate with other respected local leaders in a private forum.
