Vasco da Gama CoLAB - Energy Storage

We are at "Encontro Ciência 2024," a national event co-organized by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), Universidade do Porto and Ciência Viva. This annual event is a privileged opportunity to share our scientific and technological innovations and better understand the scientific ecosystem that surrounds us. Together with the CoLAB NET4CO2, focusing on decarbonization, and BIOREF - Collaborative Laboratory (CoLAB), specializing in biorefineries, we are in partnership sharing our booth with the topic “CoLABs for sustainability and energy”, where we are showing our latest developments. Visit us today or tomorrow to discover our innovative prototypes and services! #science #technology #innovation #energystorage #CoLAB #collaboration (versão em português: https://lnkd.in/d2kJhcR5)

Yesterday, we received a delegation from EMBRAPII - Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa e Inovação Industrial and their Competence Centres for a mutual knowledge exchange visit organised by ANI | Agência Nacional de Inovação . The visit was highly productive, allowing us to share our experiences as a Collaborative Laboratory and discuss best practices for this type of organisation. It was particularly interesting to learn about the different models of the Brazilian Competence Centres and compare them with our own. We would like to extend our gratitude to the delegation for their visit and wish them a safe journey back to Brazil. We look forward to further collaboration in the future. Special thanks to João Lobo Ferreira from ANI and Paula Bucchianeri, Luan Saldanha, and Thales Marçal Vieira Netto from EMBRAPII. Also to Cipriano Lomba representing our Board of Directors and Luís Miguel Costa, MScEng, PhD, SMIEEE, our CEO and Managing Director, representing our operational team. #innovation #brazil #atlantic #collaboration #energystorage #batteries #powerconversion [Ler em português: https://lnkd.in/dePj6V8X]

Today, the news of our entry into IPCEI EuBatIn is getting special attention in the main Portuguese media. Cipriano Lomba, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said: "The integration of Vasco da Gama CoLAB - Energy Storage into IPCEI EuBatIn, as an associate member, is a crucial milestone, not only for us but also for the battery ecosystem in Portugal. This makes a decisive contribution to positioning the country at the forefront of innovation in energy storage, promoting the development of high value-added technologies and creating skilled jobs. In addition, the recognition given to us through this "quality seal" strengthens the technological image and competitiveness of the national industry, leveraging our potential for high value-added exports and positioning us as an effective technological contributor to the energy transition." https://lnkd.in/g9ANFupN #Innovation #Sustainability #EnergyStorage #VascoDaGamaCoLAB #IPCEIEuBatIn #Batteries VDI/VDE Innovation Technik GmbH Efacec Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto INESC TEC Instituto Superior Técnico VisBlue A400 - Projetistas e Consultores de Engenharia C2C-NewCap EDP Simoldes Plastics INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory Directorate-General for Economic Activities (DGAE)

On the 31st May 2024, Vasco da Gama CoLAB - Energy Storage an Associate Member of the IPCEI EuBatIn organization. We are proud to be the first Portuguese innovation incubator to integrate this prestigious and relevant European network dedicated to battery technology innovation. This will enable VG CoLAB to create important pathways between Portuguese and European entities to accelerate innovation for the #energytransition, for the #greeneconomy, and #greenmobility through ongoing innovation grants, new innovation projects, and specialized services. It has been a long road and we at Vasco da Gama CoLAB - Energy Storage sincerely thank the support of IPCEI EuBatIn members for their trust and to Directorate-General for Economic Activities (DGAE) and ANI | Agência Nacional de Inovação for their unconditional support throughout this process. Together, we are contributing to reindustrialize Europe by driving the innovation that will support European energy storage technologies. #Innovation #Sustainability #EnergyStorage #VascoDaGamaCoLAB #IPCEIEuBatIn #Batteries VDI/VDE Innovation Technik GmbH Manz AG Efacec Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto INESC TEC Instituto Superior Técnico VisBlue A400 - Projetistas e Consultores de Engenharia C2C-NewCap EDP Simoldes Plastics INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory Luís Miguel Costa, MScEng, PhD, SMIEEE

Today, at the RRP (Recovery and Resilience Plan) annual event, organised by Recuperar Portugal, a mid-term review of this funding was carried out, highlighting the successful fulfilment of targets and the challenge of its budget execution.   Energy storage and the need for batteries was one of the hot topics discussed several times, notably by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Energy and the Environmental Fund. Energy storage is key to maximising the use of energy from renewable sources and is presented as the key to the short-term future of the electric grid considering the energy decentralisation and the growing electrification of the economy.   Vasco da Gama CoLAB is an innovation centre dedicated to energy storage, working on alternative battery chemistries, innovative battery module approaches, and novel power electronics for energy conversion. As beneficiaries of RRP, in "Agendas Mobilizadores" and "Missão Interface" (ANI | Agência Nacional de Inovação ), we are working in collaboration with other players in the Portuguese economy to create cutting-edge technology and increase national competitiveness. #energystorage #batteries #ConstuiroFuturo

⁤We participated in the 36th edition of the Jobshop at Instituto Superior Técnico. ⁤   ⁤Our participation in this event reinforces not only our commitment to attracting new talent but also our dedication to promoting students' academic development. ⁤⁤It is an intrinsic part of our mission to provide students with valuable opportunities to work with us, whether through master's dissertations and curricular internships on topics that are so relevant to society and contributing to territorial cohesion, strengthing ties with the University of Lisbon and promoting mobility between territories.⁤   ⁤At the centre of our nature is a deep appreciation for the knowledge cultivated in academic institutions. ⁤⁤We seek to maintain a symbiotic relationship with academia, recognising the immense value of the intellectual capital it generates. ⁤⁤By nurturing these connections, we not only enrich our developments but also seek to contribute to stronger education and research in Portugal. #energystorage #lisbon #academia #innovation

We recently had the pleasure of visiting GEPE - the Power and Energy Electronics Group (Centro ALGORITMI) at the Escola de Engenharia da Universidade do Minho. We were very well received by the team and had the privilege of witnessing some of the exciting and ongoing developments! We sincerely thank Professors Joao Luiz Afonso, Gabriel Pinto, and Vitor Monteiro for their generous hospitality and for sharing their knowledge with us. We believe it is essential to establish a solid understanding of the skills and innovations being developed in academia to continuously seek strategic alignments that enrich our industrial and services ecosystem. #innovation #energystorage #batteries #academia #industry
