Filip Koprčina's journey as a founder began with a simple belief: the energy transition cannot succeed if participation is limited to large corporations and those with significant financial resources. Working in renewable energy, he saw millions of people who wanted to contribute to a cleaner future but faced barriers of complexity, affordability, and access.
That realization led to Energy Shift, a climate-tech company building the digital infrastructure to democratize participation in the energy transition. Building in a highly regulated and traditional industry has demanded persistence, resilience, and a willingness to bridge the distance between innovation and real-world implementation.
His work has been recognized internationally — the European Commission's EU Sustainable Energy Award in the Young Energy Trailblazer category, and a place on Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe for his contribution to sustainability and climate innovation. He served as the youngest member of the Technical Working Group for the United Nations High-Level Dialogue on Energy, and has advised major energy companies on their own transitions toward renewables.
But the achievement that means most to him isn't a title. It's turning an idea into a platform with real market validation — attracting genuine interest from communities, energy stakeholders, and partners who want a more inclusive energy future.
He believes exceptional founders are the ones who dedicate themselves to generational challenges. Energy Shift is his commitment to making sure everyone has a role in building a cleaner, more resilient energy system.
