Energy transition

Switching to sustainable energy sources and systems is crucial to stop depleting the earth and to combat global warming. This energy transition brings with it many new challenges around the affordability and availability of energy and the reliability of the energy system. To achieve this, we must not only come up with smart solutions, but also critically validate and scale them up. There are plenty of opportunities here for you as an innovative entrepreneur.

Are you an entrepreneur based in North Holland and does your solution contribute to the energy transition? For example, are you working on energy saving, more efficient production of green energy (carriers), smart metering systems or energy storage technology? Or have you made a new invention to make our electricity system, the built environment, industry, mobility or agriculture more sustainable? We are happy to help you further develop your idea into a large-scale solution for the market.
