On 11 May ECCT LCI speaker Bart Linssen from Solvent GmbH will present a 40-minute speech at TEDx Taipei's "Shareable Cities Forum" taking place at the Airforce Base in Renai Road Taipei.

This Shareable Cities event starts from 10-18 May, based on the concept of shareable or collaborative economy and how open knowledge facilitates the interaction between the government and its citizen. The ECCT LCI has a speaker from Solvent (Enercon in Germany) talking about people/community investing in renewables, topic: Citizen Wind Farm: Community Energy Sharing System.

In his speech, Bart will share examples of how residents of various European cities have banded together to invest and push the sustainable movement through wind power. Exciting part is that the audience will be taken by the speaker on the journey of foreign communities problem-solving processes; mainly, 1. the issues they faced, 2. the discovery phase for residents: how, through collective knowledge and resources, they worked together to tackle the issues, and 3. current status and progress, 4. what they plan to do next.

As Taiwan is entering into an era of "energy-mix," Bart's presentation will give a different perspective on Taiwan's future energy plan to 250 audience. The event is free and open to public.
