The Green Way was established to drive economic growth through cleantech initiatives in the Dublin region by leveraging existing infrastructure, research capabilities, and natural resources. It aims to unite regional stakeholders from industry, academia, and government to promote the Irish cleantech sector globally and support business opportunities through coordination and promotion. Major industry involvement is seen as crucial to furthering the cluster's work now that it is established and primed to create unique innovation opportunities for companies to test and develop cleantech solutions.

2. The Green Way was established to drive
economic growth through cleantech
The Green Way is a ‘joined-up’ cleantech cluster
organisation which has been established to leverage
existing infrastructural investments, collective test bed
capabilities, a thriving technology base, proactive
environmental public policy, natural resource
advantages and strong research, development and
innovation capabilities in the Dublin region.
The initiator’s of The Green Way cleantech cluster are:

3. With regional stakeholders acting in unison

4. Major industry involvement is the crucial
next step now that the cluster is primed
The Green Way will

agenda, and co-
ordinate, support
and promote
business
opportunities for
industry

8. Industry leaders see these cleantech
clusters as key competitiveness drivers
“Today, Danish cleantech export accounts for the highest
percentage of national GDP in the world. This is
because companies, universities and public institutions have
joined forces in a concerted effort to sustain and expand our
world-class cleantech competencies. I hereby invite you to be
part of Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster”
Anders Eldrup, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Dong Energy
"I am convinced that CleanTechNRW can significantly
contribute to North Rhine-Westphalia's competitiveness as a
location for business and industry. Also because of its bold
and clear commitment to future issues as climate change and
the efficient use of resources“
Dr. Marijn Dekkers, Chairman of the Board, Bayer AG

10. Green Way as a test bed for Glen Dimplex
• Irish R&D, Irish comemrcialisation, Irish manufacturing jobs
• ‘Quantum’ space & water heating – energy efficiency, energy
storage, demand side management, increased renewables on grid
• Required a property portfolio (FCC,DCC) for large scale ‘test bed’
deployment of Glen Dimplex hardware (MRV support through DIT)
• Project also involves TSO, DSO, Utilities, ICT provider, SEAI etc
“This project would not have been possible without
The Green Way. Access to a formalised deployment
platform within Dublin has radically improved the
speed at which we can bring innovations such as
Quantum to market”
Sean O’Driscoll, Group CEO and Chairman, Glen Dimplex

11. We want you to join us and
make Dublin the number one
location for companies to
test and develop their
cleantech innovations
