In addition to ZeMA, Philips GmbH and Rittal GmbH &amp; Co. KG were also nominated.<\/p>\n<p>The award recognizes innovations that use energy efficiently, conserve resources and at the same time have an economic and social impact. The nominated projects impressively demonstrated how energy can be used more intelligently and how material resources can be reduced in a targeted manner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovation from Saarbr\u00fccken convinces jury<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ZeMA has been nominated for its innovative, all-electric gripping technology, which replaces classic compressed air systems in the industry. By using electrically activated shape memory wires, the solution enables energy-efficient and silent gripping processes.<\/p>\n<p>The decisive advantage: Energy is only needed when grabbing and dropping, not when holding. As a result, energy savings of up to 95 percent and significant weight reductions can be achieved. At the same time, the technology opens up new possibilities for compressed air-free and sustainable production concepts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Award ceremony at the eSummit in Berlin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The winner of the Electrifying Ideas Award 2026 will be announced on 20 May 2026 at the eSummit in Berlin. Dorothee B\u00e4r takes over the award ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>With the nomination, ZeMA is already one of the outstanding innovation projects in the field of energy-efficient technologies \u2013 and once again underlines the successful combination of research and industrial application.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zvei.org\/themen\/electrifying-ideas-award-2026-diese-ideen-sind-nominiert\">https:\/\/www.zvei.org\/topics\/electrifying-ideas-award-2026-these-ideas-are-nominatedElectrifying Ideas Award 2026 \u2013 these ideas are nominated<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1672\" height=\"941\" src=\"https:\/\/zema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nominierung.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"nomination\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nominierung.png 1672w, https:\/\/zema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nominierung-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/zema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nominierung-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/zema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nominierung-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/zema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nominierung-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/zema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nominierung-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1672px) 100vw, 1672px\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/zema.de\/en\/nominierung\/\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZeMA nominated for Electrifying Ideas Award 2026 The ZVEI has announced the nominations for the Electrifying Ideas Award 2026 \u2013 and we are here: ZeMA is one of the three nominated organisations.
