Energising deltas presented itself during the Hannover Messe, (7-11 April) the biggest industrial Fair in Europe with this year Holland as partner country. The companies Tocardo, Antea Group and Energy Valley showed the world in a stand in the Holland Energy House and Holland (High Tech) Pavilion our solutions for the big social challenges that lie ahead. In the stand an animation of Energising deltas was shown and a video with the market partners Tocardo, Antea Group and REDstack was played. Also an Energising Deltas Talk was hosted.

The Top Sector Energy showcased Tocardo’s activities of building water turbines as a real Dutch showcase for export opportunities. Hans van Breugel, CEO of Tocardo, was interviewed and explains that the big advantage of tidal energy is the predictability. Energising Deltas fits very well into the Dutch export concept because Sustainable Urban Deltas was the central theme of the Dutch Clean Tech industry. A lot of interest was shown for Dutch industry as Holland was this year’s partner country. Not only because of big political presence of prime minister Mark Rutte and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Mark Rutte said in his message of welcome “German Gründlichkeit and Dutch creativity & flexibility are an unbeatable combination. Dutch and German businesses can develop smart, sustainable solutions to global challenges as a team.”
