Development Agency NHN and the municipality of Alkmaar are working together with New Energy Coalition to design the Living Lab Smart City Alkmaar and prepare it for internationalization. LL Smart City Alkmaar consists of InVesta, the expertise center for research into renewable gas and biomass, the transport of renewable gas and the application of renewable gas in the built environment. Various innovation challenges still exist with regard to production, transport and application. Challenges that cannot be solved with current partners. Northern Connections offers the ultimate opportunity to expand the network and find new partners to provide innovative solutions to our renewable gas challenges.
It works the same way the other way around: Northern Connection helps companies from the Alkmaar region to bring their innovative solutions regarding sustainable energy to the international market. Ultimately, Northern Connections creates economic growth – in particular through the creation of high-quality jobs – for the region.
