WeSmart joins the European BlueBird project: a major international deployment opportunity 🚀
When you build a company around the conviction that tomorrow's energy will be shared, local and intelligent, there are moments that mark a turning point. For WeSmart, joining the European BlueBird project is one of those moments.
Funded by Horizon Europe over 3 years, this ambitious initiative brings together 17 partners from 8 European countries around a common goal: transforming buildings into true energy flexibility assets. And for us, it's the recognition that our solutions — developed in Belgium, deployed in France and Luxembourg — have their place on the European stage.
