- Located in the largest and 4th largest harbour of Europe, providing a perfect spot in a broad and futureproof materials hub.
- Close to Schiphol Airport, the best connected (most routes) airport in Europe (link).
Talent and knowledge
- In the vicinity (50 km) of five world class universities and two renowned research institutes.
- Ample amounts of highly educated employees and the perfect conditions to house them.
- Abundance of celebrated chemical and tech companies, such as Philips, Shell, AkzoNobel, DSM, Huntsman, ExxonMobil, Avantium.
Fertile ground
- Well-developed entrepreneurial ecosystem with multiple award winning incubators, support programs and abundance of investors.

CO2 Smart Grid
CO2 Smart Grid was the predecessor of this platform. We did a thorough feasibility study on the prospects of a smart grid distributing CO2 in the western part of the Netherlands. The conclusions of that study are summarized in this report.
