The purpose of the visit was to inform the MPs about the innovation strength of companies in this area. KEMA, which acted as host, is one of the initiators of this network.
The goal of the EMT project is to turn Gelderland into an economically flourishing energy and environment technology center. The project is directed by the KIEMT foundation (Knowledge and Innovation in Energy and Environment Technology). Of the directors of this foundation is Gerd Enoch, a KEMA business unit director.
