Value proposition

Research into sustainable energy and intelligent energy systems

EnergyVille unites the Flemish research institutes KU Leuven, VITO and imec for research on sustainable energy and intelligent energy systems. Our researchers deliver expertise to industry and cities on energy efficient buildings and intelligent networks – such as smart grids and advanced heat nets.

EnergyVille strives to become one of the top five European institutes in innovative energy research. For that reason the centre was embedded in big national and international networks from the start. It gathers research, development, training and innovative industrial activities under one name and in close collaboration with local, regional and international partners.

EnergyVille wants to be a stimulator in the Thor science park in Genk for research, business development and jobs. The research centre is supported by the city of Genk, the Flemish Government, LRM, POM Limburg and the European structural funds.
