CEBra

sustainable

Based on the competences of the Brandenburg Technical University in Cottbus R&D services have been concen-trated in a central scientific institution and will be better promoted (CEBra BTU).

A strong link to other universities in the field of energy has been formed.

Former co-workers of the energy agency of Branden-burg add the competence of collaboration with market actors.

Public and private stakeholders have formed an association of public utility (CEBra e.V.) to support SMEs in the field of energy technology.

The association (e.V.) has founded a limited company to offer services and project management (CEBra GmbH).
