Together towards a clean future. That is where the Cleantech region is heading. The triangular municipalities of Apeldoorn, Brummen, Deventer, Epe, Lochem, Voorst and Zutphen are working together with entrepreneurs, education and research to create an energy-neutral and sustainable economy and society. Economy and ecology go hand in hand.

Cleantech transcends technology

Cleantech stands for more with less. More productivity, more jobs and more efficiency. With less energy consumption, less waste of raw materials and less impact on the environment.
Cleantech is our way of life. Not only does the Region invest in clean technology that contributes to a sustainable world, cleantech also stands for the way we strengthen our business climate, economy and innovation. And for how we deal with transport and accessibility, housing and the living environment, education and the labour market. Cleantech runs through everything as a ‘green’ line.
