Ecofys enters the Italian market

The Italian market seems to value the pragmatic and solution driven approach of Ecofys. The first assignments in the areas of energy efficient building, district heating and wind energy have been signed. In the near future Ecofys Srl expects to develop solar energy projects as well.

Ecofys is part of the Econcern group. Ad van Wijk, CEO Econcern, is pleased to extend business to Italy. According to Van Wijk: "The Italian market offers many good options for services helping improving energy efficiency both in the building sector as well as in the process industry. Energy prices in Italy are high and there generally is a very positive attitude towards innovation and sustainability. So our products, services and business models should fit in well. However, one of the keys to success in Italy is a good network. For this reason, the excellent position of our partner Golder Associates in Italy, will prove to be a good steppingstone for the Ecofys business as well."
