Mr Konstantinos Arvanitis the business development manager of WATT+VOLT and the enCOMPASS Project impact Director Stated:

“The European Utility Week 2019 was an outreach international event, and took place at the perfect timing for the enCOMPASS EU Project, which is finalizing the next month.
During the exhibition we managed to attract the visitor’s attention and tell the enCOMPASS story, publishing the outcomes and outlining the project’s results and assets.
I congratulate the EUW event organizers and the European Commission. We are grateful and we appreciate each one visited the enCOMPASS booth and the hub sessions. We are delighted with all the visitor’s feedback. After the fruitful discussions we had with several event attendants, we foresee a sustainable energy landscape giving our project several opportunities for further exploitation and assets commericalization.”
