The Oekoenergie-Cluster cooperates with clusters from Finland (Merinova) and Spain (Cluster de Energía) in a project called "REINA". The project focuses on the design and the implementation of joint and cluster specific internationalisation strategies for renewable energy and sustainable energy technologies and solutions. In the course of the project, the Oekoenergie-Cluster supports the cluster partner companies in their internationalisation activities.

OEC-Link: REINA

In September, the OEC organised the international training seminar "Biomass heating – market development and technologies". The three-day seminar included several site-visits, e.g. manufacturers of biomass boilers, a biomass contracting, a district heating network, a wood chip production and several businesses dealing with biomass logistics. The participants gained a comprehensive overview of the biomass market in Upper Austria.

The Oekoenergie-Cluster successfully organised the Conference "Eco-Clusters: Drivers for regional growth & internationalisation" in Brussels in the frame of the cooperation project EcoCluP. The conference informed more than 60 experts and decision makers from the regional and local level about economic opportunities offered by energy and environmental clusters. It also offered networking opportunities among cluster managers from all over Europe and beyond.

An international training seminar on biomass heating is organised by the O.Oe. Energiesparverband from 10 - 13 September 2012 in Linz/Austria. This 3-day seminar will provide information and know-how on local market development and technologies for automatic biomass heating, based on the experience in Austria. It will focus on small- and mid-scale projects, fuelled by wood pellets and wood chips, covering solutions for homes, smaller commercial/public buildings and district heating grids.
