What is Green Tech Center?

In Green Tech House both small entrepreneurs and larger businesses can rent office facilities. The idea behind is that collaboration will grow when businesses reside in the same building giving way for innovation. The businesses will also be close to the data collected in from Green Tech Park and the surrounding area.

Green Tech Park is a 16,000m² test facility that has realistic test and demonstration facilities for products and services for the future Smart Grid system with all test platforms connected to the Green Tech Lab.

Green Tech Lab is a 1,000m² laboratory with teaching facilities, entrepreneurial facilities and a project room collecting all data from the energy park.
