Study visit Netherlands
Short description
First stop: Netherlands. UIA Expert Zeno Winkels focusses on “a visit of representatives from Johanneberg Science Park (JSP) and the Business Region Gothenburg (BRG) to the Netherlands, to discuss replication and upscaling of the FED-model, on May 14 & 15, 2019, at the Technical University in Delft.

"The FED project has reserved specific capacity to invest in replication and upscaling of its learnings. Designated countries to do so are Denmark and the Netherlands. They have been chosen because both countries have similar electrical infrastructure and legal frameworks. Furthermore, the networks within the project contained contacts in both countries, which made Aalborg (DK) and Delft (NL) final destinations in this respect.”
