Building energy independence at the Utrecht Science Park
At the Utrecht Science Park, five institutions are joining forces to develop a collective aquifer thermal energy storage system (ATES). With this initiative, they are taking an important step toward a future-proof, largely fossil-free energy system. A thermal source for heating and cooling is currently being installed to connect the first buildings. By 2030, several more buildings are expected to be linked to this shared infrastructure. By mutually sharing heat and cold, the campus will significantly reduce its reliance on natural gas and external energy sources.
UtrechtInc has been recognized in the Financial Times “Europe’s Leading Startup Hubs 2026” ranking.
While UtrechtInc is proud of this recognition, the real stars of the story are the entrepreneurs, researchers, and students who walk through its doors every day.
