French-based Hager Group has won the international Electrifying Ideas Award. The prize recognizes companies that actively advance the energy transition with their products and solutions and make them accessible to different target groups.
The award focuses on innovations in the field of electrification and sustainable energy supply. Hager apparently prevailed with its portfolio of solutions for electrical installation, energy management and building automation. The group offers products ranging from building distribution and charging infrastructure to intelligent control systems.
Significance for the electrical industry
The Electrifying Ideas Award underscores the growing importance of integrated system solutions in electrical engineering. For electricians and planners, the combination of traditional electrical installation with energy management and smart building components is becoming increasingly relevant. Hager positions itself here as a system provider that links different trades together.
Demand for holistic solutions is particularly increasing in the segment of decentralized energy supply and e-mobility. The award is likely to help Hager further position itself in competition with other major providers such as Siemens or Schneider Electric.
Strategic focus on the energy transition
The award aligns with the company's strategic direction. In the past, Hager CEO Busse had already called for faster progress on the energy transition. The company is increasingly investing in solutions for solar systems, battery storage and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
For electrical contractors, the development means concretely: the integration of different technologies is becoming standard. Installers will need to master not only traditional electrical work in the future, but also be able to configure and network energy management systems. Hager offers training and planning tools for this purpose to support specialist craftspeople in this transformation.
Details on the specifically awarded products or innovations were not published by Hager at the time of the announcement. The award itself is increasingly gaining importance as an industry accolade and is awarded internationally.
