So where do we stand now in the Netherlands? What has happened in recent years, what developments have taken place and which companies are developing which solutions? Are we still ‘up-to-date’ or does it require engineers to also innovate themselves with new and different skills? What opportunities lie ahead for the offshore sector?
During the Energy Talks&Drinks, on Thursday 27 January, we will address energy from water in the Netherlands. A short outlook will be presented, innovative entrepreneurs will share their innovations and we will pay attention to opportunities for students and (young) professionals in this sector that is spearheading growth of the ‘Duurzame Blauwe Economie’.
This session is made possible by the ENCORE project: Energising Coasts with Offshore Renewable Energy, managed by Bluespring and funded under the INTERREG 2SEAS programme.
