The best way to stimulate a long term and self-sufficient development is to create a good business environment. This environment is characterised by a high awareness and availability of information in combination with well functioning corporations and products that fulfils the demands. However, this is in many cases and regions not the case today for the green energy market due to several barriers such as lack of understanding and information in combination with small key actors with limited resources for marketing and information activities.

 

The establishment of regional Green Energy Clusters can facilitate the critical mass needed for activities to decrease these barriers for an increased deployment of green energy technology and services.

 

This project has been financed by the European Commission and the overall objectives are to:

• Create 4 regional Green Energy Clusters and strengthen the existing EcoEnergy Cluster in Upper Austria

• Increase the sales of equipment and services for market actors participating in the regional clusters

• Establish a platform of good examples and a guide for the formation of similar clusters within other regions in Europe.
