Setting Up a Market Development Team

Accelerate the retrofit market in your country and be part of a growing European movement.

Energiesprong Market Development Teams (MDTs) are at the heart of transforming local housing markets into thriving ecosystems for scalable, net-zero energy retrofits.

 

Whether you’re a policymaker, housing innovator, or sustainability champion, setting up an MDT gives you the tools, network, and structure to drive real market change.

What is an MDT?

A Market Development Team is a small, expert team that connects the dots between housing providers, policymakers, solution providers, and investors. Its mission: unlock a viable and scalable retrofit market. By initiating volume deals, piloting innovative retrofits, and adapting the Energiesprong approach to your country’s context, an MDT can build long-term momentum for industrialised, high-performance renovations.

Why start one?

Existing buildings account for nearly 40% of carbon emissions. Energiesprong shows that deep energy retrofits can be fast, affordable, and beautiful if the right people work together. That’s where MDTs come in. Across Europe, MDTs in the Netherlands, UK, France, Germany and Italy have already:

  • Secured national policy support and funding

  • Facilitated tens of thousands of retrofits

  • Enabled new business models and supply chains

  • Paved the way for long-term market transformation
     

With the right team, strategy, and backing, your country can be next.

How does it work?
 

We’ve captured our experience in a practical white paper that includes:

  • A 4-phase roadmap for setting up your MDT

  • Lessons from 5 European country case studies

  • Key success factors (funding, team, stakeholder activation, communication)

  • Strategic recommendations for long-term impact
