sustainable innovation

Collaborate on a sustainable future

This is thé place, this is where it happens

Welcome to The Green Village, field lab for sustainable innovation in the urban environment.

A sustainable future requires innovative ideas and new applicable methods and techniques. At The Green Village, knowledge- and educational institutions, entrepreneurs, government bodies and civilians can research, experiment, validate and demonstrate their sustainable innovations. This field lab at TU Delft Campus focuses on the urban environment where you can test on neighbourhood-, street- and building level. The Green Village is a place where people can live, work and learn, exempt of standard rules and regulations. With access to the innovation ecosystem of TU Delft, science is literally around the corner.

Are you looking for the location to test your innovation? Or are you curious to find out what these innovations can mean for you?

Themes

At The Green Village, knowledge- and educational institutions, entrepreneurs, government bodies and civilians can research, experiment, validate and demonstrate their sustainable innovations. By paying attention to technical, corporate, social and policy-based challenges, we help innovative parties accelerate from theory to practice. These challenges are divided into three themes.

Sustainable building and renovation

New and existing houses require sustainable building/renovating in order to prepare for the future.

Future energy system

Expansion of the multi energy infrastructure with extra transport- and storage facilities. Within the field lab, we’re working on a robust and locally organised system.

Climate adaptive city

Flooding, drought and heat: we’re increasingly experiencing the consequences of extreme weather in the Netherlands. Neighbourhoods, streets and buildings need to remain
liveable and habitable.

We’re searching for answers and solutions to all three social challenges, which is no easy task. This is why offering an open learning environment is a key element of the field lab, which we’ve called the Learning Community.

Within the Learning Community, all stakeholders can meet to offer and gain knowledge. The combination of working, experimenting, learning and inspiring leads to innovation. We require the learning abilities of everyone in order to tackle the challenges of the future…
