From May 18 to 23, 2025, a team of 32 young changemakers from all over the Netherlands (and beyond) dove into the world of the energy transition during the second Energy Edition of the Green Business Challenge.

Over six intensive days, they worked in multidisciplinary teams on real challenges from organizations such as Mozaero, the H₂ Academy, Municipality of Noordenveld, Impact Hydrogen and Gebiedscoöperatie Zuid- en Oost-Groningen. From public acceptance of airborne wind energy to setting up a regional energy company — this edition was all about collaboration, innovation, and acceleration.

With the help of coaches, experts, and inspiring locations, the teams not only managed to present innovative ideas but also motivated each other to look beyond their own study or field.
