EU accreditation for New Energy Coalition
Recently New Energy Coalition was officially acknowledged byThe European Secretariat for Cluster Analysis (ESCA) as a European cluster organization. The EU accreditation 'ECEI BRONZE Label “Striving for Cluster Excellence”' is important for participating in European projects. The first step (bronze) has now been taken.
This confirms the role and position of New Energy Coalition in the energy ecosystem at the regional and European levels. Of course, we're aiming for gold, but that journey begins with this first step. In the Netherlands, only three organizations in our field have achieved this recognition. So we can be proud. It opens even more European doors for us and confirms that we're on the right track.
- Marieke Abbink-Pellenbarg, CEO New Energy Coalition
