our Consortium
Power Up is a collaboration of universities of applied sciences, research universities, field labs, public and private partners, and 18 learning communities across the Netherlands. Together, they work to build a more skilled workforce and accelerate innovation for sustainability. Our partners contribute by co-developing tools, facilitating fieldwork, supporting dissemination and adoption, and hosting innovation teams. The consortium integrates practical, scientific, and policy-driven expertise to maximize societal impact.
