MORE ABOUT THE EVENT
Join us on June 13, 2024, in Groningen, Netherlands, for MAKING-CITY's Innovation Camp dedicated to carbon-free energy solutions and catalyzing positive change in urban environments. Explore the concept of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) and discover their potential to foster sustainable and energy-positive communities. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the energy revolution shaping the future of our cities!
For whom? This exclusive event is dedicated to stakeholders looking to explore best practices in technological, economic and social aspects. You will deepen your understanding through a visit to two Positive Energy Districts (PEDs), observing how they are getting organized to transition to urban energy supply with advanced technologies.
Why attend? The demos in the North and South PEDs areas will showcase policy guidelines, the implementation of carbon-free energy solutions, and citizen engagement. Gain valuable insights into PEDs implementation, best practices, and lessons learned. Our goal is to equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to lead their cities into a new, more sustainable energy era.
