Kyoto's November in a nutshell: Capital Markets Day highlights, commercial contracts and more

Capital Markets Day and beyond: Kyoto's November in review

Although the days might be getting darker and colder, we at Kyoto don't let the autumn aura slow us down. November was the month of our Capital Markets Day at the iconic MUNCH. This event wasn't just a showcase; it was a symphony of ideas, innovation, and future strategies, setting the stage for our next steps! But we didn't stop there – we signed new commercial contracts, passed power market tests with our Heatcube at Norbis Park, got an award nomination and even were guests on a podcast.

Have a look at our November milestones.

Major Heatcube order with Kall Ingredients

Kyoto Group has achieved a significant milestone with a EUR 6.4 million order for our Heatcube, to be deployed at one of Europe's newest corn processing plants owned by KALL Ingredients Kft. This landmark agreement, a collaboration with Kyotherm and Energiabörze, marks a significant stride in offering Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS) and balancing the grid.

"We are [...] pleased to add innovative cleantech solutions to our infrastructure that is capable of meeting the strict requirements in our industry," says Ádám Sass, Strategic Director of KALL Ingredients Kft. "Kyoto’s Heatcube will provide us with a stable, high quality and cost-effective supply of green steam and we are excited to get started with this project."
