Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in Groningen

Groningen is the largest city in the northern Netherlands and a university city with a young population. For founders in energy, hydrogen, health technology and agrifood, it offers research partners and regional investors focused on the energy transition.

Why Groningen Matters for Capital Raising

The Groningen gas field, discovered in 1959, was one of the largest in the world and shaped the Dutch economy for decades. Production ended in 2024, and the region is now investing heavily in hydrogen and renewable energy.

The northern Netherlands has positioned itself as a hydrogen valley, with projects spanning production, storage and industrial use.

The University of Groningen, founded in 1614, is one of the Netherlands' leading research universities, with strengths in energy, health and life sciences.
