Op dit moment vindt er een omslag plaats van de traditionele auto naar een nieuwe generatie voertuigen. Grote automerken hebben hun hoofdkantoor gevestigd in deze regio en investeren in deze omschakeling. Dit biedt kansen voor Nederlandse ondernemers die actief zijn in deze sector.

kennisinstellingen die werken aan – of betrokken zijn bij – de ontwikkeling en toepassing van nieuwe technologieën voor de automotive-industrie.

Er kunnen maximaal 20 deelnemers van 16 verschillende bedrijven mee met deze missie. Per bedrijf kunnen maximaal 2 personen deelnemen. Afhankelijk van eventuele (lokale) COVID-restricties kan het maximum aantal deelnemers wijzigen.
Programma opzet
Tijdens deze missie worden diverse bedrijven, kennisinstellingen en testcentra bezocht. Deelnemers kunnen meedoen aan rondetafelgesprekken en netwerkbijeenkomsten, zoals een receptie of handelsdiner. U krijgt ook tijd om eigen afspraken te maken.

Energy Now Sustainable Energy Congress May 2022
2022-05-17 | PHILIPS Stadium, Eindhoven
Energy Now Sustainable Energy Congres Mei 2022

Energy Now is een groot congres over duurzame energie in de Brainport Regio Eindhoven. De eerste vier edities vonden plaats tussen 2016 en 2019. Het congres wil een platform zijn voor studenten, aankomende werknemers in de energiesector, om bedrijven in een informele setting te ontmoeten, om samen de perspectieven van de energietransitie te bespreken.

Thema
In 2045 zal de stedelijke wereldbevolking de 6 miljard hebben bereikt. Deze exponentiële groei van stedelingen vormt een van de grote uitdagingen van de komende eeuw. Hoe kunnen we tegemoet komen aan deze toegenomen stadsuitbreiding terwijl we de reeds bestaande infrastructuur transformeren om de uitstoot te verminderen en verdere opwarming van de aarde te voorkomen? Door nieuwe technologie en methodologieën toe te passen in onze stedelijke omgevingen, energiesystemen en mobiliteit, zouden we manieren kunnen ontdekken om onze steden digitaal, gedecentraliseerd en koolstofarm te maken. Benieuwd hoe we dit mogelijk maken? Kom dan naar het Energy Now 2022 congres waar je diegenen ontmoet die vandaag oplossingen vinden, om de problemen van morgen op te lossen!
