Come to the Energy event too

From May 17 to 22, thirty young professionals will travel through the Northern Netherlands and Germany. For five days, they will work on real-world challenges from companies at the heart of the energy transition. No simulations, no fictional cases. Just real work, with real impact.

On Thursday, May 21, everything comes together at Stadslab Groningen. Pitches, ideas, meetings, and enough energy to charge the space. And the best part? Everyone is welcome to come and take a look.

Do you want to know if a future edition is right for you? Come by and judge for yourself. As an organization, do you want to see what a group of motivated young thinkers can do with your challenge? Then you really want to be there. Or you are simply curious; that’s fine too, you are welcome.

What makes the participants so interesting: they come from all over. Business, engineering, law, psychology, marketing, or something that doesn't fit into any box. It is precisely this mix of backgrounds that leads to solutions you simply wouldn't expect. Someone with a background in psychology contributing ideas for a hydrogen pipeline. A marketer designing a safety system. That is where the magic lies, and you want to see it with your own eyes.

During the Energy Edition, participants do not work on fictional assignments. They step directly into the challenges faced by organizations currently building the future of energy. They research, test, build, and pitch their solutions to people who work with this on a daily basis. That is exactly what the Green Business Challenge stands for: young talent is given the space to show what it can do, and companies gain fresh thinking on issues that matter.

On May 21, we open the doors at 7:30 PM. Stadslab Groningen. Be there.

We are organizing this edition together with New Energy Coalition, New Energy Academy, Waarborg Vastgoed, Groningen Seaports, Groningen Airport Eelde, Zukunft Unternehmen, Energiehub050 and KplusV.
