On May 17, 2022, the Digital Farming Conference took place in Berlin with the motto "Ploughing Away for Digital Progress". Also taking part in the conference were Benjamin Bönisch and Dr. Tobias Plötzing of ETO GRUPPE TECHNOLOGIES GmbH. Their technical lecture showed how for instance the new technologies by farmunited GmbH, a subsidiary of ETO GRUPPE TECHNOLOGIES GmbH, help to collect data in agriculture, to use them for sustainable and efficient cultivation and to share or sell them profitably with the help of Distributed Ledger Technology. 

Sustainability is very important for the ETO GRUPPE. Most of the more than 2,500 modules of our new photovoltaic system are already installed on the roofs of the production, technical center and administration buildings in Stockach. The installation work is expected to be completed by the end of September 2022. With an output of 1,014 kWp, around one million kilowatt hours of electricity will be generated per year in the future.  

Anyone who is active on social media or shops on the Internet is familiar with the tiresome logins that are required for this. E-commerce providers, search engines and social media store the personal data used to log in on so-called identity servers. Individual users hand over control of this data to companies that are often based in countries outside the EU. This means that when it comes to data protection, it is usually not the GDPR that applies, but much more lax regulations.   

Since May 2023, ecoTech Umwelt-Messsysteme GmbH is a new member of the ETO GRUPPE. The company based in Bonn has been a leading supplier of measuring instruments and environmental monitoring systems for water, soil and air for over 35 years.       

The TOP 100 competition celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 2023 and ETO its fifth participation. On Friday, June 23, 2023, ETO GRUPPE COO Björn Schneekloth accepted the award as TOP 100 Innovator 2023 at the official award ceremony in Augsburg, Germany.
