The City of Rotterdam is a frontrunner in the energy transition. Rotterdam has the largest and most modern port in Europe, our core economic power. Entrepreneurs, industry, and municipality work together to reach the climate goals. Solar energy is an important asset in the journey towards these goals. To maximise PV deployment we utilize buildings, water surfaces, land and infrastructure areas. As a city, we ensure an efficient implementation that aligns with the local context while maintaining a clear focus on circularity and sustainability. We also subsidise innovations and inform and guide companies and homeowners' associations to accelerate the transition to clean energy across the city.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is Europe’s gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. Founded in 1975, ESA just celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. In the particular field of photovoltaics, ESA works with industry, research institutes and academia to develop next-generation solar cell and solar array technologies that power scientific, Earth observation, navigation, telecommunications and exploration missions.
