Workshop: Dutch-German Energy Efficiency Market by FME & DENEFF

Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is a global challenge. But luckily companies around the world present innovative solutions to tackle climate change across all sectors. Unfortunately, best practice exchanges across borders are rare.

Therefore FME, the agent for Dutch tech companies, and DENEFF, the German voice for energy efficiency, will discuss latest developments in the energy efficiency sector at the Dutch-German Workshop: “New market opportunities for innovative energy efficiency solutions”.

We will have exciting debates on new market opportunities, technological trends, and political framework for solutions on energy efficiency in industry and buildings in the Netherlands, Germany, and the EU. In interactive breakout-sessions you are invited to discuss concrete issues like smart buildings and serial automated renovation, heat recycling and IT-Tools for industry 4.0, innovative financing solutions for energy efficiency and the EU climate targets with experts and other tech- or energy companies from the Netherlands and Germany.

We are looking forward to discuss the possibilities and challenges in the Dutch and German energy efficiency market with you!
