Career event – Meet your future in energy
Meet Your Future in Energy is a career event for both national and international students and starters who want to actively contribute to the energy transition in the Northern Netherlands and beyond. The transition to renewable energy is an extremely important element for the chemical sector. And so Chemport Europe will be present on this career event. Plenty of opportunities within the 140 companies of the Chemport ecosystem.
R&D Playground
Green Industry
Eemsdelta Green, Chemport Europe and the University of the North are dedicated to Europe’s mission to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees and reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. As part of this mission, we are launching the R&D Playground Green Industry. The aim of the R&D Playground is to organize networking opportunities to bring together experts from the region. This, in turn, will strengthen the innovative power of the North.
During these events, you will meet researchers from academia and applied sciences and representatives from industry and governmental institutions linked to Green Industry. Together, we will address and explore the questions and challenges ahead of us. We cordially invite you to join the conversation and participate in this first R&D Playground event.
First event: June 9th, 2022
One of the most important and difficult challenges these days is to replace fossil carbon sources with sustainable carbon sources, which is the central theme of our first event. The related topics to this theme are biomass, plastic recycling, CO2-valorization, sustainable electrification, electrochemistry, and chemical processes.
The aim is to share insights on three themes: ‘Sustainable Carbon’, ‘Advanced Materials’ and ‘(Bio) Sustainable Sources & Waste Streams’. Speakers from companies and knowledge institutes will introduce these topics through plenary and parallel sessions.

Groene Chemie, Nieuwe Economie
[This event is in Dutch]. Op woensdag 9 februari om 14.00 uur lanceren we het programma Groene Chemie, Nieuwe Economie! Tevens bespreken we die middag de financieringsuitdagingen voor ondernemers in de Groene Chemie.
Arnold Stokking zal het programma – dat met support van veel partners, waaronder Chemport Europe, is opgezet – toelichten. Vervolgens zullen drie experts hun kennis en ervaring over de financieringsuitdagingen en uitdagingen op het gebied van business ontwikkeling presenteren. We zullen o.a. spreken met Alain Cracau, Rabobank Groenbank; Reinier van der Vusse, Polestar Capital en Anieke Wieringa, ScaleUp Nation. Het belooft een interessante bijeenkomst te worden!
We hopen dat de bijeenkomst hybride plaats kan vinden: in Antropia te Driebergen en digitaal. Mochten de Corona maatregelen dat niet toelaten, dan zal de bijeenkomst volledig digitaal plaatsvinden.
