Over a million grant for Fieldlab Smart Energy
During the Techport networking event Think Global, Act Digital on Monday, Oct. 7, the Beverwijk sports hall, four innovative projects were presented with symbolic EU grant checks from the Just Transition Fund (JTF) IJmond. One of these was Techport's Fieldlab Smart Energy.
Testing ground for SMEs
There is a lot of cold feet among SMEs about sensor technology and Machine Learning while they make a great contribution to reducing harmful emissions, reducing energy consumption in industry and predicting peak loads on the power grid. With the Fieldlab Smart Energy project, Techport offers SMEs a testing ground where knowledge exchange on Tiny Machine Learning takes place. The goal is to reach 30 companies and train 50 students and 60 employees.
Suzanne Klaassen, alderman in the municipality of Beverwijk, presented project leader André Gerver with the check for more than 1 million euros, complimenting the fact that 25 parties have already applied to participate in the field lab.
The other projects that received a check the same afternoon were Electric Barge from E-Portliner - Ton van Meegen and two projects from Captainlabs - André Kapitein: Plasma Toolbox for Clean Air andCO2 as Raw Material.
