At Ore Energy, we develop a long-term and cost-effective energy storage solution to make renewable energy available at all times. Currently, we can only benefit from renewable energy when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. However, we need energy constantly, even when there is no sun or wind. So how can we ensure a reliable energy supply from renewables? The answer is simple - by storing renewable energy in a long-term and cost-effective way.

“We [Ore Energy] would like to continue the R&D and production phases here in the Netherlands and aim to introduce our first product here as well.”

We believe that the energy storage solution we are working on is the missing part of the energy transition. To make our technology a real-life solution, we need to collaborate with many different parties, including universities. We are a spinout company from TU Delft and have close bonds and contact with the university. We would like to continue the R&D and production phases here in the Netherlands and aim to introduce our first product here as well.

Our startup originated from our research at TU Delft, where I completed my PhD. Thus, we decided to establish our startup here. We found that the Netherlands strongly supports the energy transition. There are already many companies working on developing energy storage technology. There is also top-notch research going on in the field, so it creates a perfect atmosphere for us in the R&D phase to build up our product. This has created many opportunities for us here. Additionally, our visa processes have been going smoothly, which is crucial as we are growing quickly and bringing in talents from all over the world.

“I would highly recommend considering moving to the Netherlands to anyone as it offers a high standard of living, nice and direct people, a multicultural society, high-quality education and many international job opportunities.”

We are located in Delft and Amsterdam due to the excellent research facilities available in both cities. These locations have different advantages for attracting talent from all over the world. I would highly recommend considering moving to the Netherlands to anyone as it offers a high standard of living, nice and direct people, a multicultural society, high-quality education and many international job opportunities.

We aim to expand our business to countries across Europe. We have already received financial support from the German Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation, so we plan to open a branch there.

For ambitious goals to come to life, startups need an environment that facilitates growth and development. Aytac Yilmaz’s experience illustrates how the right atmosphere can help create room for innovation. Looking at Ore Energy, the benefits of choosing the Netherlands as a destination are two-fold. On the one hand, the country is a valuable option for a startup within the energy storage industry. On the other hand, it is generally the place for anyone searching for an international environment, high standard of living, quality education, a plethora of job opportunities and gateway to Europe. The knowledge, determination and the right atmosphere are the secret formula for Ore Energy that promises growth within and beyond the Netherlands.
