Use Case: Berlin Adlershof Science City, Germany, Berlin
Trusted partner: WISTA Management GmbH
Use Case Operator: Berliner Energy Agency (BEA) GmbH
Technologiepark Adlershof is a Science and Technology Park located in Berlin. The Trusted partner WISTA Management GmbH will facilitate contact with SMEs and potential multipliers (e.g. the so called “Technologiekreis Adlershof”, an interest group of technology-oriented enterprises in Adlershof).
SMEs interested in participating at GEAR@SME at Adlershof are from the metal processing industry. Also IT enterprises have a lot of energy efficiency potential and have been identified as an interesting target group for the project.
In general, SMEs in Adlershof mostly belong to the following sectors:
- Photonics / Optics
- Biotechnology / Environment
- Microsystems / Materials
- Renewable Energy / Photovoltaics
- IT / Media
BEA will offer at Adlershof workshops and trainings on climate neutrality, energy efficiency, carbon footprints, mobility, photovoltaics and funding opportunities. SMEs can also propose other related topics. SMEs can request a free “energy scan” to get an overview of the situation of their energy use and supply. For more in-depth analysis (e. g. energy audits), the BEA can provide contact to energy service providers.
Additionally, BEA will facilitate networking between SMEs to enable the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
- Public relations work to spread awareness of the project (publishing information about the project in the Adlershof Newsletter, setting up an information booth and distributing information material)
Individual talks with SMEs (on site in Adlershof if possible), including energy scans - Workshops
- Trainings
- Networking events
There have been several previous projects in Adlershof promoting energy efficiency that are summarized on this website.This includes the development of concepts to save energy as well as the implementation of concrete measures, e.g. LED lighting and low temperature heating networks. Efforts to inform and advise SMEs about energy efficiency were also part of these previous projects.
