Overige relevante informatie:

Initiators (4) have an income as a self-employed person. This made it possible to bear pre-investments and development costs, including ample time taken to research, practically test and make concrete relevant facets of eco park development (the integral product concept). The park design, operation, and derived market positioning are the result of the preliminary market research as well as the forecast of the financial feasibility (3 years) including consideration of investment risks and inclusion of alternative contingency plans during park development and operation.
