Venture Clienting with ebm-papst – Shape the Future of Advanced Fan Silencing

ebm-papst is looking for partners to develop next-generation silencing solutions for large axial fan installations—delivering strong noise reduction while keeping efficiency impacts low. Selected innovators gain access to ebm-papst’s test environment and acoustic measurement capabilities for rapid PoCs and a clear path toward scalable collaboration. 

Who can participate? 

All innovators working on advanced silencer systems with a functional or testable approach— including startups, scaleups, established technology companies, research teams, and independent engineering groups. 
If your concept can be validated with measurable data (noise reduction and efficiency impact) and is suitable for outdoor, real-world installations, it is in scope.

How to submit 

Process 

To participate solution providers, submit two elements via the ekipa platform: 

1. Fixed Questions (online form) 

After joining the challenge, applicants complete a short set of mandatory questions. These questions ensure comparability across all submissions and allow ebm papst to assess solution fit quickly and fairly. 

2. Pitch Deck (PDF upload) 

Applicants upload a concise pitch deck providing additional depth. 
The deck may include: 

  • product overview & key features 
  • architecture / technical setup 
  • reference customers or pilots 
  • differentiation vs. competitors 
  • pilot idea for ebm papst (initial thoughts, assumptions, integration concept) 
  • expected benefits and value contribution 
  • commercial model and pricing structure 

The pitch deck should allow ebm papst to understand the solution in context and evaluate its potential for a joint PoC project.
