Crafting a green future from Delft to Amsterdam with Ore Energy
Beyond the grid: Aytac Yilmaz’s leap into advanced energy storage
Join us on a journey with Aytac Yilmaz, an entrepreneur with roots in Turkey and dreams that span continents. With his freshly minted PhD from Delft University of Technology under his belt, Aytac found himself at a crossroads familiar to many international students: head home or chart a new course? His answer? The creation of Ore Energy together with his co-founder, aiming to redefine how we store renewable energy. Drawing from the innovative sustainable solution mindset of the Netherlands, Aytac embarked on a mission that resonates with environmentally-conscious minds.
Why the Netherlands? Aytac’s Case for Internationals
Like many internationals, Aytac was initially lured by the offer of world-class education. And why Delft and Amsterdam? Delft, with its storied academic history, felt like home. Amsterdam, on the other hand, offered the allure of cutting-edge research facilities and a cosmopolitan vibe that resonates with internationals. But soon, he found more reasons to stay: the Netherlands’ vibrant startup scene, its fervent support for green innovation, and yes, the charm of cycling along picturesque canals on crisp mornings. If you’re an international considering the Netherlands for work or business, Aytac’s tale is a testament to the country’s blend of innovation, culture, and lifestyle opportunities.
“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.”
Seamless transition: making the move
A significant concern for startups and international professionals is navigating the bureaucratic maze of a foreign country. Yet, Aytac’s journey with the Dutch visa processes reveals an efficient and supportive system, allowing Ore Energy to harness talent from the global pool.
An energized Netherlands: Ore Energy’s vision forward
Ore Energy’s mission is simple yet profound: harness renewable energy consistently, irrespective of the sun’s shine or the wind’s blow. The quest for constant, sustainable energy demands innovative storage solutions, and that’s where Ore Energy steps in. A long-term, cost-effective energy reservoir is not just a goal; it’s an imperative.
“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.”
In essence, Aytac Yilmaz’s story isn’t just about a startup. It’s a call to every international mulling over the idea of making the Netherlands home. Whether you’re an innovator, an entrepreneur, or someone seeking a change, the tale of Ore Energy serves as a beacon, illuminating the path of possibilities in a country that’s as welcoming as it is innovative.
