NextDrive, founded in 2013, specializes in IoE technology and energy data, partnering with clients through two key areas: net-zero transition and electricity trading. NextDrive aims to "empower distributed energy, make energy count," driving towards the global 2050 net-zero goal and achieving both environmental and economic benefits.
In 2017, NextDrive expanded to Japan, providing sustainable energy solutions to major power companies and leaders in the gas, oil, and automotive sectors. In 2023, it won the "Annual New Energy Grand Prize Chairman's Award" from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, becoming the first SaaS service provider to do so. It also received Taiwan's National Development Council "Next Big" award, underscoring its technological leadership and influence, recognized by both Taiwanese and Japanese governments and industries. This September, NextDrive was selected as one of the top 14 companies in Asia by the Tokyo Stock Exchange's TSA Asia Startup Hub. This recognition further highlights its strategic vision in advancing the new energy economy and reflects the industry's strong, positive appraisal of its efforts.
