The CROWDTHERMAL Alliance
Who we are
Due to the high level outputs and added value of the CROWDTHERMAL project, in addition to current energy crisis that society is facing, the CROWDTHERMAL experts have created the CROWDTHERMAL Alliance. The objective is to maintain the project’s achievements beyond the EC-funded period through valuable consultancy on the main project pillars: social engagement, risk mitigation, and alternative finance!
