Ecofys
enters the Italian market
A
well-visited seminar in Turin on the challenges put forward by the
Kyoto protocol marked the official start of Ecofys Srl. Ecofys Srl
is a joint venture between Ecofys and Golder Associates Europe. The
opening of the Turin office marks the seventh European country where
Ecofys rolls out full-fledged operations.
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.”
