ECOPANONIA
#Phytomining
#Renewable Energy
- Cluster "Ecopanonia" is a regional cluster - some of the founders and members are from Hungary and Romania. It has the vision to establish regional association of clusters, whose activity is renewable energy and eco-culture, becoming a leader in this field in the region. Association will gather (already achieved agreements) clusters from Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
- Utilization of renewable energy sources, environment protection, furthermore, the sustainable development. To promote environmentally friendly products and other high-quality products and a laboratory for testing these, which will contribute to environmental protection and development of the region. 5E: environment, energy, economy and energy efficiency. Energy per unit of each product is high in costs. Reduce of energy consumption through energy efficiency and application of renewable energy, increases the competitiveness of the SME market cluster members.

Network Focus
By means related to the activities of the Cluster, it organises those scientific and professional fields which support the developing activities of the cluster’s members. It organizes seminars and professional days for educational workers, in order to ensure that in the younger generations the environmental awareness can be established as early as possible. It maintains close connections with universities, schools, professional organisations and other educational institutions.
Unique Selling Point
The Cluster ECOPANONIA is the representative of Hungarian Electric Power Industry for Serbia and Kosovo. In the scope of this cooperation we are organizing study tours to Komlo – Hungary, where the first biomass boiler (20 MW heat energy) for wooden chips, was built and is in the function from 2010.
