Kerith

Kerith, which now operates under the name RIZM, is an innovative start-up specializing in the development and implementation of comprehensive energy strategies for businesses. Founded by brothers Elias and Joshua Küpper, as well as Philipp Otten, RIZM aims to assist companies in optimizing their energy supply and transitioning to a climate-neutral economy.

RIZM offers a comprehensive software platform that helps internal teams optimize and automate energy supply decisions based on data. The platform integrates data from production, energy procurement, and infrastructure to enable holistic optimization of energy systems. Using algorithms, RIZM identifies energy cost-saving potentials, suggests necessary measures, and prepares a clear decarbonization path, including all associated costs and component-specific actions[4][5].

The mission of RIZM is to help companies find, implement, and evaluate the right energy strategies. The company firmly believes that a future world that achieves its climate goals is significantly more attractive and exciting than one that does not. RIZM views affordable, clean, and reliable energy supply as a human right and as the backbone of industrialization and economic growth[5].

RIZM is strongly committed to promoting sustainability and climate protection. The company works closely with leading universities, NGOs, and industry companies to accelerate the transition to a climate-neutral economy. RIZM has already played a significant role in several major projects, such as the conceptualization of one of the largest photovoltaic plants in Europe for the BMW Group plant in Debrecen. By utilizing digital energy systems and algorithms, companies like Volkswagen and Schaeffler can save significant energy costs and optimize their decision-making[2][5].

RIZM (formerly Kerith) has already received several awards, including winning the start-up competition at the Digital Summit Euregio and winning the start-up pitch battle at the EnergyTech Innovation Night. These recognitions highlight the innovative strength and impact of the company in the energy sector[1][3].

RIZM is a pioneer in developing energy strategies that enable companies to manage their energy supply efficiently, sustainably, and cost-effectively. With its advanced software and commitment to sustainability and climate protection, RIZM plays a central role in shaping a future-oriented and environmentally friendly industry.
