The Green Village

DESCRIPTION

The Green Village is an inspiring and innovative test facility at the premises of the TUDelft Campus. We unite all stakeholders necessary for the development and implementation of radical innovations that contribute to a sustainable world at an inspiring, lively, and entrepreneurial place in the economic heart of the Netherlands.
In our view these innovations have to be approached from 4 perspectives: the technology (how to make it work?), business models (how to make it economically attractive?), public interest (what do we want with it?), and regulation (how can we allow this?). At the Green Village, we join forces of all these stakeholders around the implemented innovation. At the Green Village we can offer flexible infrastructure for electricity, gas, water, heat, ICT and data and offer a system environment that includes houses and offices including the people who live and work at the premises as part of the experiment.
