SUMMARY:O-CEI Pilot 8 Engages with Smart Energy District Community in Fribourg
DESCRIPTION:The partners in Pilot 8 of the O-CEI Horizon project attended two important information events organized by the Smart Energy District (SED) Project\, held in Fribourg on Thursday\, October 30th\, and Monday\, November 3rd. \nPrivate households\, both producers and consumers of electricity\, are becoming major players in the new electricity system. To gather residents’ opinions and expectations\, and set up a panel of consumer-producers\, two information sessions were organized: October 30th and November 3rd. \nThe discussions confirmed the initial research hypotheses\, in particular the need to better understand the context and existing installations\, as well as the possibilities for optimization at the housing level: self-consumption\, storage\, flexibility\, exchanges\, etc. Participants emphasized their desire to have all the information they need to implement energy measures that bring real added value given their situation. This involves parameters that affect financial resources and return on investment as well as the acceptability of a more community-based approach to energy management at the district level.

SUMMARY:AGRITECHNICA
DESCRIPTION:Zetrack at AGRITECHNICA 2025: Showcasing the Future of Autonomous\, Sustainable Agriculture \nZetrack participated in AGRITECHNICA 2025 in Hanover\, Germany\, the world’s largest trade fair for agricultural machinery\, where the company presented the new autonomous\, driver-optional prototype Zetrabot 1.1\, equipped with removable batteries. Designed to enhance productivity and sustainability in vineyards and a wide range of crop environments\, Zetrabot captured strong attention from farmers\, industry leaders\, and potential partners. \nA major highlight was the introduction of Zetrack’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. Together with leading partners and specialists\, Zetrack implemented an innovative system of interchangeable\, rentable batteries for agricultural vehicles. This approach replaced fixed-capacity battery designs\, typically more expensive and less flexible\, with a model that allows farmers to adapt energy autonomy to real operational needs. With additional batteries available for rent only when necessary\, the solution reduced total ownership costs while supporting zero-emission farming practices. \nThrough its presence at AGRITECHNICA 2025\, Zetrack demonstrated how Zetrabot represents a significant leap forward for precision agriculture\, combining autonomy\, sustainability\, and flexibility to empower the new generation of farmers. \nZetrack will further develop and use Zetrabot during Pilot 6 of O-CEI Horizon.

SUMMARY:Switzerland Advances Community-Centered Energy Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Pilot 8 contribution to the European O-CEI Horizon project took a decisive step forward on Friday 14 November. The partners convened the Polygones community for an in-depth participatory workshop dedicated to the future of smart energy systems. \nThe session had a clear objective: to understand how citizens perceive Local Energy Communities and to collaboratively shape solutions that can genuinely be adopted by the public. Behind the technical ambition lies a human challenge: ensuring that innovation aligns with daily realities. \nWhat emerged from the workshop was a central message: the energy transition cannot succeed through top-down implementation alone. It requires dialogue\, transparency\, and the active involvement of the communities expected to live with these new systems. Participants voiced concerns\, shared expectations\, and contributed creative insights during scenario-based exercises facilitated through a Service Design approach. \nBy placing residents at the heart of the conversation\, Pilot 8 seeks to redefine how energy solutions are developed and tested in Switzerland. The aim is not only to innovate but to ensure that innovation feels accessible\, trusted\, and grounded in real needs. \nThis first workshop marks the beginning of a broader national effort. The next step will take the project to another partner: Val d’Anniviers (in collaboration with Anniviers Tourisme SA and local stakeholders). There\, the discussion will continue in a mountain setting\, offering an opportunity to explore how Alpine communities envision their energy future.
