Heliatek (Dresden, Germany) exhibits at the Big 5 Solar – one of the leading solar exhibitions in the Middle East. The show takes place from 12- 15 September at the Dubai World Trade Center. It is part of the leading international building & construction show – The Big 5.
In late 2019, Heliatek was announced as one of three winners of the “Japan Energy Challenge 2019”, a competition hosted by Japanese SMAP Energy who drives to identify key technologies for the energy transition of Japan.

The installation was realised on a bus stop of the Biwako-Kusatsu Campus of the University in the Shiga Prefecture (near Kyoto).

The so-called “1000solutions” programme was launched by Bertrand Piccard (the first person that circumnavigated the world in the solar airplane “Solar Impulse”) to promote innovations that help protecting our environment in a profitable way. Currently more than 400 of these solutions are listed in the five categories:
