Since 2011 both federal states have made a substantial contribution to fostering the development of the innovation potential across the states through the Cluster Energy Technology with regard to the core topics of renewable energies, energy efficiency, energy grids and storage systems as well as turbo machines and power station technology.
The important players within the Cluster Energy Technology are being actively connected and supported by the Cluster management during the initiation and the early stages of projects.
