We're here to provide you with more details about the first EIT InnoEnergy CommUnity Hackathon! When you register for the event, you can choose between two challenges. Today, we'll delve into the first challenge, offered by Bax & Company, members of the BatteReverse project. 🚧 Problem: Li-ion batteries are driving the energy transition, but they introduce new problems, such as shortages of critical raw materials and the management of large waste streams. 🎯 Challenge objective: Maximize the value of batteries from electric vehicles and ensure their genuine sustainability. 💪🏻 You and your team will be tasked with developing an innovative tool and a business model to help decide among various circularity scenarios: repair, reuse, and recycle. 🔋 Not an expert in the battery value chain? Don't worry! The challenge will kick off with a Battery Circularity Game – an interactive workshop that explains the roles, challenges, and business models of various stakeholders in battery reverse logistics. 🔥 More about the challenge sponsor: Bax & Company is a leading European innovation consultancy. Their mission is to assist corporate directors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers in creating, executing, and managing cutting-edge science and technology-enabled initiatives that deliver substantial societal, environmental, and economic impact.

Join this inspiring conference on circular bioeconomy!

CLIC Innovation Oy Innovation is thrilled to announce the successful completion of the ProjectBooster pitching sessions! The challenge-driven sessions are part of the CLIC ProjectBooster project design process, allowing academic researchers to bring forward new project ideas to industry representatives. The challenges were initially defined by companies and are based on current industry needs. During May 2024, CLIC hosted three dynamic pitching sessions focusing on bioeconomy, circular economy and green energy. In total, the pitching events gathered: ✅ 16 project pitches  ✅ 16 different Finnish companies involved ✅ 80 participants in total What’s next? CLIC will provide feedback to all researchers on their project ideas and facilitate the development of collaborative projects to address the industry challenges.

❄ It's a busy season over here at Bia as we're heading to Slush this week! Anyone else ready for the Helsinki weather? ➡ We'll be talking about what's next in the mobility sector.   🔎 Hint Hint 🔍 It's all about integration optimization between the different parts of the system - EVs fleets, chargers, electric installations all need to learn to speak to each other in the most effective way in order run a fleet operation that is effective cost efficient. Being able to consolidate different charger brands, electric vehicle brands and understanding how to maximize their benefits is the key to run a scalable, intelligent, smooth operation. Our platform agnostic software lets you do just that. 🚧 So if you're in the process of building, scaling or optimizing your fleet - and need some advice on how to do it best. Call us! 📞 Thanks Celeste Reglá Díaz for the shoutout! We're looking forward to connecting

🚀 Funding news! The team at EIT InnoEnergy Nordics are very happy and excited to announce our latest investment in Qurator.com - Decarbonization Ecosystem - A pioneering B2B decarbonisation platform that streamlines discovery and selection of solutions that actively reduce carbon emissions. I’m personally looking forward to joining Qurator’s board and working actively with the stellar team: Cristian CITU, Christopher Engman, Joanna Kolomanska, Victoria Chen-Englert & Arda Ertem. 💻 A (digital) piece of the puzzle missing: We’re using platforms such as Capterra and G2 to find the best software solutions, Booking.com for flights and hotels, Tripadvisor for restaurants. Why aren’t we searching for and comparing sustainable suppliers and decarbonisation technologies in the same way, but still relying on trade fairs, Googling and peer recommendations? 🧐 🌍 Absolute emissions reductions needed: The Paris agreement and Science Based Targets initiative will require long-term deep decarbonization targets of 90-95% across all scopes before 2050. Only a very limited amount of residual emissions can be neutralised with high quality carbon removals [credits], this will be no more than 5-10%. 🔍 Through Qurator, companies can effortlessly search, compare, and review decarbonisation solutions, and accelerate companies’ journeys to net zero. Perfectly aligned with InnoEnergy’s strategy to prioritise industry decarbonisation and tackle hard-to-abate sectors. Read more here ➡️  https://bit.ly/43QG2NS

Happy World IP Day! At RightHub, we believe that intellectual property is a driving force behind sustainable development worldwide, and we are here to help in making that faster and more efficient. To celebrate World IP Day 2024, we’ve collected some examples of Sustainable Development Goals that the IP industry helps achieve: 🌱 SDG 2 (Zero Hunger): IP protection sparks agricultural innovation, paving the way for sustainable farming methods. 💉 SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being): Pharmaceutical R&D results in life-saving medicines and vaccines. 📚 SDG 4 (Quality Education): Innovations in education software enhance access to quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities. 📡 SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure): IP fosters innovation in telecommunication, broadening access to affordable internet and telecommunication services. 🌇 SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities): IP inspires smart city technologies, like eco-friendly transportation and urban planning. 🔄 SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production): IP drives progress in recycling tech and sustainable waste management. Let's celebrate the power of intellectual property in shaping a sustainable future together! #IntellectualProperty #SDGs #SustainableFuture #RightHub

The countdown to the Smart Green Island Makeathon 2024 continues – just 24 hours to go! 📆🌿   Our B&R challenge has been set, the equipment is prepared, and our support team has arrived.   During the next few days, the students will work on developing an automated testing facility that assesses the health of individual battery cells. In the end, the machine should be able to distinguish between operational and faulty cells. 🔋   There may still be some energy left in the faulty battery cells, that we don't want to waste. That's why we will try to produce ‘green’ hydrogen out of this energy. If all goes well, it should be possible to recharge the good cells with this hydrogen by using a fuel cell ... perhaps with a little help from the sun.   As part of the B&R team, we welcome: » Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences » Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften Kempten » FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences » Università degli Studi di Genova   If you’re in Gran Canaria too, we would love you to get involved directly at the event-site.   We are really excited about the creative and innovative ideas that the young talents will come up with. We’ll keep you up to date on how the team is getting on, live from Gran Canaria – let's go!   ITQ GmbH #SmartGreenIsland #Makeathon2024 #GranCanaria #EngineeringStudents #BRautomation #DriveGreenAutomation
