On the 24th of November the Energy Academy Europe hosts the networking event “Generate15” at MartiniPlaza in Groningen. Generate15 gives Energy Startups, investors and existing players in the energy market the opportunity to strengthen their support network. This is essential to increase the number of successful Energy Startups and therefore accelerate the energy transition. In addition to the excellent networking facilities, Generate15 hosts speakers Aart van Veller and Ruud Koornstra, and an Energy Startup pitch event with a prize of €15.000,-.
Connecting the Startup Climate
Energy Startups are an essential driver for the acceleration of the energy transition. More often than not they are better at recognizing and developing radical innovations compared to large scale companies. However, to transform these Energy Startups into competitive, functional companies in an accelerated manner, a strong support network between interested parties is important. Generate15 is the energy networking event of the Netherlands, bringing together promising Energy Startups with Europe’s leading investors and established players. Through this interaction, Energy Academy Europe stimulates the startup- climate of Europe’s renewable energy market.
