New energy : synergy

Welcome to the Solar Info Center

Awaiting you here on over 14,000 square metres of floor space is a unique spectrum of experts and your contacts working on the implementation and evolution of renewable energies and energy efficient technologies.

The office, seminar, catering and training areas are leased to independent companies dedicated to renewable energies. Many established enterprises operate from here a successful regional, national and international network. At the same time, the Solar Info Center is home to many recent setups and startups developing new, innovative products.

The Solar Info Center unites under the one roof a wide and diverse range of disciplines: architecture, facilities management, energy consultancy, engineering, law, financing, marketing and further training. Prospectives therefore gain fast, efficient access to the experts they need for their new energy technologies, whether they are private developers or corporations.

The companies at the Solar Info Center operate on their own budgets, but are part of a creative environment with potential team partners in the direct vicinity. They therefore profit from the synergy effects generated by a centre of excellence aligned to innovation and growth.
