LONGi Partners with BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2026

LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a global leader in energy transition, has announced its role as an official partner for the upcoming BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2026, taking place on September 27, 2026. This landmark partnership not only marks LONGi's first collaboration with the Abbott World Marathon Major but also underscores the company's commitment to expanding its presence in Europe.

The partnership embraces the theme “Power the Limitless,” reflecting both LONGi's and the marathon's shared ambition to surpass boundaries. LONGi, a pioneer in integrated solar-plus-storage solutions, recognizes that the marathon is an embodiment of human endurance, reflecting its own dedication to innovation and efficiency in solar technology. As the leading solar module manufacturer as recognized by Wood Mackenzie in 2026, LONGi aims to leverage this partnership to further promote its EcoLife brand, which provides premium home energy solutions.

The Significance of the Collaboration

LONGi's collaboration with the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON is a major step towards reinforcing the importance of sustainability in international sporting events. The marathon is renowned for its flat and fast course, having hosted numerous world records approaching the elusive two-hour mark, thus positioning it as an event where human capability is put to the test. This mirrors LONGi's mission of pushing boundaries in solar technology.

“Excellence, endurance, and global inspiration are values represented by the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, and these values resonate deeply with LONGi's commitment to sustainability and innovation,” emphasized Charles Jiang, Vice President of LONGi. The collaboration aims to demonstrate that clean energy, similar to marathon runners, can venture further.

Introducing EcoLife to European Households

With Europe becoming increasingly focused on energy independence and sustainability, LONGi's EcoLife brand will be introduced to households across the continent. EcoLife reflects a vision for residential energy that combines high-performance solar technology with design-led innovation. This initiative aims to empower European families to generate and utilize energy more efficiently in their homes.

By associating with an event that captivates participants and viewers from around the globe, LONGi is making strides to include clean energy discussions within everyday life. This partnership serves as a platform to reach a broader audience and emphasizes the necessity of sustainable energy solutions.

A Shared Vision for a Sustainable Future

Both LONGi and the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON share a commitment to sustainability. LONGi's “Solar for Solar” initiative embodies its ambition to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Similarly, the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON integrates sustainable practices across various dimensions including environmental, economic, and social, creating a enduring legacy well beyond the marathon itself.

Christian Jost, CEO of SCC EVENTS, organizer of the marathon, remarked, “The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON celebrates what people can achieve when they push beyond their limits. With LONGi as our partner, we also commit to ensuring these achievements are reached responsibly. Having a partner that values human potential and sustainability enhances what we can offer during this monumental sporting event.”

In summary, this partnership represents a powerful union of athleticism and sustainability, inspiring participants and audiences alike to pursue their potential while also caring for the planet. Details regarding LONGi's initiatives and activations during the event are expected to be unveiled closer to the marathon date. The world watches not just for the feats of the athletes but also for a compelling narrative on the synergy between human ambition and sustainable energy.
