International Clean Energy Partnership - ICEP
The International Clean Energy Partnership (ICEP) focuses on promoting trade. It helps Dutch businesses that offer renewable energy products and services abroad. The programme organises trade missions and events to boost the Netherlands' position in the renewable energy sector.
The Netherlands has a good reputation in the international clean energy sector. Many companies are active in that sector. This includes major market players, many SMEs and start-ups. ICEP focuses on smaller businesses that are looking for:
- Public-private partnerships;
- Flexible, demand-oriented support;
- Networking activities.
