Dear Ben, Elsa and Bert, thanks for your encouraging support. We are finding that industry, academic and government institutions are very supportive of our project, given its alignment with two vital sectors (renewable energy and health care). We are working on establishing formal relationships with and between these stakeholders, in a way that makes sense for the progress of the science and sustainable technologies platform we are building, as well as business economics and job creation.
We have already generated valuable contacts (Newcastle Science City and others) through the exposure of the Good Entrepreneur competition, and look forward to more contacts and opportunities.
We believe a significant behavioral change among the population will be necessary in order to achieve many sustainability targets. Such change cannot be achieved by a single product, person, government or institution, however a concerted and continued effort by a broad group of stakeholders can definitely shift the mind set. The Algarve Energy Park is one such effort that aims to contribute to an acceleration in technology development as well as shifting general public mind set.
