Berlin 🤝 Blockchain: As we wrap up the 4th Berlin Blockchain Week, it's clear to see that it was nothing short of a success! The city was abuzz and we at HV Capital were thrilled to host our Blockchain Brunch with BerChain at the Gnosis office at Full Node. It was great to see new and familiar faces and share insights. Over the course of the week, our team took away two key insights: 
 
🔗 Conferences, like DappCon, Protocol Berg and DeSci Berlin, and side events, like W3Fund, Finoa, Ultimate, Scroll, were packed with substance like never before 
🔗 Builders are back in Berlin and they’re focused on advancements in User Experience (Intent Based Architecture & Accounz Abstraction), Composability, Crypto IBANs, Security Improvements (zkOracles), AI, and more

🌞🌍 Can Germany achieve its 80% renewable energy target by 2030? 
 
Since January 1, 2023, the revised EEG (Renewable Energy Act) set ambitious objectives. One of these objectives is to ensure that 80% of Germany's electricity comes from renewables. Driven by the desire for energy independence, there has been a surge in demand for household photovoltaic panels. However, a shortage of skilled installation businesses is creating a bottleneck in progress and making it hard for Germany to deliver on its renewable goals. 

Enpal, a HV Capital portfolio company, stands out as one of the fastest-growing solar energy companies in Europe. Going beyond their own solutions, they aim to support local installation experts and businesses through an innovative partnership model. 
 
Their newly launched 360° service platform, Enpal.pro, streamlines the procurement process, manages logistics and delivery efficiently, and simplifies grid connection. According to Lukas Pauly, Managing Director of Enpal.pro, "We view local and regional craft businesses as partners in the transition to renewable energies." Enpal.pro is already collaborating with more than 150 installation businesses.
