Through these courses, we aim to teach students about corporate social responsibility and inspire their international outlook.” This is our fourth consecutive year hosting this event, and we’re thrilled to see more children benefit from it! 🙌 The talented dance class at Ciao-Shan Elementary set the stage with an elegant performance to welcome our German companies! Whether it was conducting chemistry experiments or DIY wind power projects, the students got hands-on experience with environmental protection and renewable energy. 💡💨 A big thanks to the Miaoli County Government, Ciao-Shan Elementary, and all the German companies who participated as one-day teachers!

🎓 Congratulations to Our EUREM Graduates!   Last Friday marked a special milestone as we celebrate the graduation of six dedicated professionals from the EUREM program here in Taiwan! 🥳 Over the past seven months, they’ve committed their evenings and weekends to become experts in energy efficiency and management. Our colleague Linda Blechert, General Manager of DEinternational Taiwan Ltd., commenced the ceremony with a warm welcome, followed by a video greeting from Julian Goldmann, Science and Technology Officer at the German Institute Taipei, who expressed his congratulations to this memorable occasion. 🌍 With Taiwan's ambitious climate protection goals and the push for renewable energy, the need for skilled energy managers is greater than ever. The projects completed by this year’s graduates have already made a difference—saving an estimated 40 MWh of electricity and reducing CO2 emissions by over 500 metric tons annually, alongside NT$5 million in cost savings! 💡💰 A big thank you to our amazing trainers who made this journey possible. We hope the success of this program inspires more companies to invest in energy management and join us in working towards a more sustainable future! 💪✨ 🎓恭喜新一期歐洲能源專業人員！   上週五我們邁向新的里程碑，在台灣一同慶祝六位參與歐洲能源專業人員培訓課程（EUREM ）的畢業典禮！ 🥳 在過去的七個月裡，他們利用晚上和週末的時間成為能源效率和管理的專家。 我們的同事，博智顧問有限公司 戴佩玲總經理首先以熱烈的致詞開場，隨後由德國在台協會科技幹事 Julian Goldmann 以視訊方式致詞，向這個值得紀念的時刻表達祝賀。 🌍 隨著台灣雄心勃勃的氣候保護目標和對再生能源的推動，對熟練能源管理人員的需求比以往任何時候都更大。今年畢業生完成的專案已經產生了顯著效果——每年預計節省 40 兆瓦時電力，減少二氧化碳排放量 500 多噸，同時節省成本 500 萬新台幣！ 💡💰 非常感謝我們優秀的培訓導師，是他們讓這趟旅程成為可能。我們希望該計劃的成功能激勵更多的公司投資於能源管理，並與我們一起努力實現更永續的未來！ 💪✨     #PartnerInTaiwan #EUREM #EnergyManagement #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EnergyEfficiency #RenewableEnergy #GreenFuture
