Micronora voor micro en nano technology matchmaking met Enterprise Europe Network

Bron: KvK
Beurs in Besancon
Rim Stroeks heeft vorige week de Micronora beurs in Besancon bezocht.
Deze beurs spitst zich met name toe op hoogwaardige technologiebedrijven actief in de precisietechnologie. Daarom reist het Nederlandse technologiecluster Brainport Industries, vertegenwoordigd door John Blankendaal op uitnodiging van de KvK mee naar de Micronora.

Als partner van het Enterprise Europe Network heeft de KvK met haar partners uit de Franche-Compté, Baden-Würtemberg en Piemonte tijdens deze editie van de Micronora de krachten gebundeld om Europese clusters bij elkaar te brengen en samen te laten onderzoeken op welke vlakken  samenwerkingsmogelijkheden voor de nabije toekomst liggen. Daartoe heeft vrijdag een meeting plaatsgevonden waarop 12 Europese clusters -  waaronder Brainport Industries - met elkaar in contact werden gebracht.
Daarnaast treedt de KvK tijdens de Micronora als co-organiser van het matchmaking event op dat vandaag wordt georganiseerd waarbij bedrijven en instituten uit 15 verschillende landen met elkaar in contact worden gebracht op basis van hun samenwerkingsbehoeftes. Vanuit Nederland neemt NTS, Technogation en Invenios aan dit event deel. David Heriban, oprichter van het Franse high tech bedrijf Percipio Robotics is erg blij met de bijdrage van de KvK aan de Micronora. "Het Nederlandse hightech ecosysteem is voor ons een belangrijke omgeving aangezien wij op zoek zijn naar een samenwerkingspartner die samen met ons een machine kunnen ontwikkelen voor onze microgripper. En dan zijn Nederlandse toeleveranciers gespecialiseerd als system supplier voor ons het soort partners die wij in Frankrijk niet vinden. De KvK heeft ons in contact gebracht met een aantal relevante spelers uit het Brainport cluster en wij zijn al op bedrijfsbezoek geweest bij 2 van hen. En het is goed te zijn dat Brainport Industries en NTS ook de moeite nemen om ons ecosysteem te leren kennen".

Overijsselse huizenbezitters besparen 10 miljoen euro aan energie per jaar

Ook bouwsector heeft baat bij grote vraag naar energiebesparende maatregelen

ZWOLLE, 23 september – In twee jaar tijd hebben 12.000 Overijsselse huizenbezitters hun woning energiezuiniger gemaakt. Omgerekend naar de actuele energieprijzen komt dat neer op een besparing van ruim 10 miljoen euro. Dat is niet alleen goed nieuws voor hun energierekening en het milieu, ook de bouwsector heeft er baat bij. Overijsselse ondernemers in de bouw- en installatiebranche haalden de afgelopen jaren tientallen miljoenen euro’s aan omzet uit het verduurzamen van koopwoningen.
Dat bleek tijdens de presentatie van de resultaten van het project Slim Energie Thuis vandaag door provincie Overijssel en de projectpartners Kamer van Koophandel, Ministerie van BZK, Bouwend Nederland en Uneto-VNI.
De inzet van het project was het energiezuiniger maken van 10.000 woningen in 2014. Het jaar is nog niet om, maar nu al zijn de doelstellingen ruim behaald. In krap twee jaar tijd hebben 12.000 eigenaren in de provincie Overijssel hun woning aangepakt. Meer dan 250 bouwbedrijven hebben zich actief aangesloten bij de ‘Overijsselse aanpak’ door hun aanbod af te stemmen op de groeiende vraag naar energiebesparende maatregelen. Veel bedrijven werken samen in een van de 24 consortia die zijn ontstaan om woningeigenaren beter van dienst te kunnen zijn. En alle 25 gemeenten in de provincie doen mee en hebben een energieloket geopend.

Spouwmuurisolatie en zonnepanelen in trek
Op het gebied van isolatie is de populairste maatregel het aanpakken van de gevel of spouwmuur. Dit werd tot nu toe in ruim 5600 woningen toegepast. 2600 huizenbezitters kozen voor vloerisolatie. Minder populair zijn isolatieglas (zo’n 890 woningen) en dakisolatie (ruim 700). Bij woningeigenaren die kiezen voor het duurzaam opwekken van energie staan zonnepanelen op één. Hiervoor werd 1360 keer bij het project Slim Energie Thuis aangeklopt.

Bij het verduurzamen van hun woning kunnen inwoners van Overijssel gebruikmaken van financiële regelingen van de provincie. De Duurzaamheidpremie en de Overijsselse Duurzaamheidlening vonden gretig aftrek bij huizenbezitters die werk wilden maken van isolatie of het duurzaam opwekken van energie. In de gemeente Enschede zijn de meeste premies toegekend (940). Op de tweede plaats komt Zwolle (ruim 800 premies) en nummer drie is Hardenberg (bijna 580). De laatstgenoemde gemeente is koploper wanneer het gaat om het aantal duurzaamheidleningen dat is verstrekt (meer dan 200), op de voet gevolgd door gemeente Twenterand (circa 180) en Zwolle (ruim 170).

Alleen maar voordelen
Theo Rietkerk gedeputeerde Economie, Energie en Innovatie van de provincie Overijssel is trots met deze tussenstand. Hij licht toe waarom de aanpak zo succesvol dat de doelstelling nu al dik gehaald is: “Het energiezuiniger maken van huizen heeft eigenlijk alleen maar voordelen. Voor de woningeigenaar zorgt het voor een lagere energierekening en meer wooncomfort. De ondernemer levert het een grotere omzet op. Het project is een belangrijke stimulans voor de regionale economie en de werkgelegenheid.”

Lokale en regionale samenwerking
Maxime Verhagen, voorzitter Bouwend Nederland: “Dat deze doelstellingen al zo snel zijn gehaald, betekent dat er prachtige innovatieslagen in de sector zijn gemaakt. De bouw heeft het zwaar, maar juist door dit soort initiatieven, waar op lokaal en regionaal wordt samengewerkt, zien we weer een plusje. Bouwend Nederland wil graag verder met Slim Energie Thuis. Het liefst met nieuwe partners als Vereniging Eigen Huis, banken en vooral ook het onderwijs. Duurzame renovatie is een nieuwe markt, die niet meer verdwijnt.”
Titia Siertsema, voorzitter Uneto-VNI: “Samenwerken met kennis en kennissen. Dat vind ik zo mooi aan dit initiatief. De consument ziet door de bomen het bos niet meer en weet niet goed wat hij wil. Overijsselse ondernemers hebben daarop het antwoord in de vorm van een gezamenlijk, aansprekend aanbod. Met één aanspreekpunt.”

Lange termijn doelen
Hoewel de doelen zijn gehaald, gaat provincie Overijssel door met Slim Energie Thuis. In 2020 moet dertig procent van de woningen in Overijssel minimaal energielabel B hebben. En één procent van de woningen moet dan energieneutraal zijn. In 2030 ligt de ambitie vervolgens bij negentig procent label B-woningen en twintig procent energieneutrale huizen.

Verder is het de bedoeling dat ondernemers toekunnen met minder ondersteuning vanuit de overheid. Minimaal dertig procent van de bedrijven die nu nog worden bijgestaan door de Kamer van Koophandel moeten in 2020 geheel zelfstandig aan de slag zijn. De regionale Duurzaamheidlening komt waarschijnlijk per 1 april 2015 te vervallen, maar Overijsselaars kunnen wel gebruikmaken van de vergelijkbare landelijke Energiebespaarlening.

Slim Energie Thuis
Het platform Slim Energie Thuis is onderdeel van de Overijsselse aanpak 2.0 om slim energiegebruik in de gebouwde omgeving te stimuleren. Om steeds meer particuliere huizen energiezuinig te maken, werken alle 25 Overijsselse gemeenten, de brancheorganisaties Bouwend Nederland en Uneto-VNI en hun leden, de provincie Overijssel en de Kamer van Koophandel nauw samen. Dit vanuit een totaalpakket aan slimme energiemaatregelen, aangeboden door samenwerkende lokale bouw- en installatiebedrijven. Een soepel verloop in de afwikkeling van financiële aanvragen van particulieren wordt verzorgd door de organisaties MeermetMinder (duurzaamheidpremie) en SVN (duurzaamheidlening).
Door woningeigenaren en ondernemers met elkaar in contact te brengen wil de provincie de komende drie jaar minimaal 10.000 particuliere woningen in Overijssel energiezuiniger maken. Het platform helpt door ondernemers te ondersteunen bij het ontwikkelen van een aantrekkelijk aanbod en door de vraag bij particuliere woningeigenaren naar energiebesparende maatregelen te stimuleren. Daarnaast zorgt het platform voor het bij elkaar brengen van verschillende partijen en initiatieven. Het platform biedt praktische tips en informatie, inspireert met goede voorbeelden en helpt ondernemers en woningeigenaren met elkaar in contact te komen.
