Rabobank’s contribution
In the WEC Rabobank gives a perspective from the financial sector. Senior staff members represent the bank in the Dutch chapter of the WEC. In order to accelerate scaling and innovation in the ET, much of the projects and developments need finance and this demand is growing.
