"Practical discourse on efficient energy solutions for businesses held at Hettich, Kirchlengern"
In the heart of the Herford district, a lively discussion on sustainability, environmental protection, and climate change in the context of growth and competitiveness took place. Organised by the intermunicipal economic development agency and the Climate Protection Management of the Herford district, the event, dubbed as the "Practical Talk on Clever Energy Solutions in Companies", was held at the Hettich Group in Kirchlengern.
Over 50 entrepreneurs were invited to explore how companies can efficiently use energy, save costs, and operate sustainably. The event was a resounding success, as stated by Birgit Rehberg, head of district development and climate protection.
Key speakers at the event included Daniel Menke from the Hettich Group, who spoke about photovoltaics, heat recovery, and a pilot project for reducing natural gas. Philip Kleineberg from the Herford company ProElectrify presented practical solutions for SMEs, including bidirectional charging, commercial storage, and smart energy management.
The importance of sustainability and a 'green' image was not lost on the attendees, as partners and customers increasingly demand it. Lively discussions and networking after the presentations were observed, indicating a shared commitment to the cause.
The event was valuable for both major players and SMEs and smaller businesses. Jan Hüttner, economic developer in the Herford district, stated that they've had good experiences with the combination of illustrative presentations and subsequent tours or workshops. Participants were able to take important insights back to their own companies from the event.
Sonja Hauptmann, managing director of the intermunicipal economic development association of the district of Herford, emphasised the district's commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. She encouraged interested entrepreneurs to inform themselves about future events at the agency. Contact Sonja Hauptmann at 05221 182 405 -0 or [email protected] for more information.
The Herford district has numerous businesses and companies committed to sustainability and energy efficiency. The energy market is becoming more volatile and fossil fuels are becoming scarcer. Smart, flexible solutions enable companies to act long-term, a message that resonated with the attendees.
The "Company Network for Climate Protection" has been active in the Herford district for several years. Future events on interesting topics will be organised by the intermunicipal economic development agency. The agency looks forward to continuing the dialogue on sustainability and energy efficiency in the district.
