History

Smartwatt was founded in 2008 as a spin-off from INESC Porto, initially operating as an energy services company. This origin gave it a technical and research-oriented foundation in energy systems. In 2010, the company reached a significant milestone by deploying its first energy management system in a municipality. The following year, in 2011, it achieved its first energy management system in the industrial sector, expanding its reach beyond public entities into industry. In 2012, Smartwatt was integrated into the Bonera Group, a corporate group that provided a broader structure for its growth. Over the years, the company has developed proprietary technology, including its SAVING IS ON EMS energy management platform, and has built expertise in renewable energy production, project management and energy digitalisation. Its official website states that it has been working for 18 years towards a more efficient, digital and sustainable energy future, which is consistent with a founding date of 2008. The company remains headquartered in Porto, Portugal, and continues to offer a 360º service model covering consulting, implementation, monitoring and maintenance for energy management and decarbonisation.
