HeriTACE participation in the Flemish Heat Pump Platform Symposium.

On September 18, 2024, HeriTACE participated in the Flemish Heat Pump Platform Symposium.

The topic of the Symposium was “Sustainable Heat for Cities”, with a focus on the beautiful, renovated building of Buildwise (engineered by boydens engineering, now Sweco) in Brussels, where multiple HeriTACE partners were part of the organization and on stage.

• Wim boydens (Ghent University | EnerGhentIC university and co-chair of the Flemish Heat Pump Platform) had a big part in the organization of the symposium and moderated the morning session and echo from the parallel sessions,
• Glenn Reynders (KU Leuven) was part of the organization committee and presented the HeriTACE project,
• Indra Van Sande (Stad Gent - City of Ghent) elucidated the good work and insights from the City of Ghent about the HeriTACE project and attended the debate together with representatives from Leuven and Antwerp
• Lieve Helsen (KU Leuven) attended the Cities debate and moderated the session on system integration in a city context.

The Cities of Leuven, Ghent, and Antwerp, manufacturers, practitioners, associations, administration, and researchers presented their plans, actions, and dreams … feeling the positive dynamics and willingness to act in the field boosted the whole audience … a warm call to the policymakers to act as facilitators!
