📣JOIN the MultiRELOAD Open Innovation Challenge ➡ thinkport VIENNA - smart urban logistics has just started the MultiRELOAD Open Innovation Challenge ❓ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: Agricultural products are currently only transported in bulk on inland waterways in quantities of over 1,000 tons. Smaller quantities are transported by rail or (primarily) by truck. ❗ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞: Cost-effective solutions that help to „revolutionise“ the existing transport market. The aim is to demonstrate ideas on how multimodal transports of part loads of different goods (bulk goods and general cargo – also palletised) on inland waterways are possible. 🎯 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥: A test pilot for a multimodal road-inland waterway transport is to be developed and implemented. Why you should join: 🔔 The Open Innovation challenge  brings innovations that have emerged through the strength of the crowd onto the stage and awards the idea bringers together with the implementing companies. 🔔 Be at the centre of the intermodal port scene. The challenge is your ticket to network with key players as the Ports of Vienna and Duisburg & their PR activities. 🔔 There is a chance to implement the idea with the partners of the project. 🔔 The challenge increases the visibility of your project in the whole D-A-CH area. 🔔 The best ideas will be awarded, there will be prizes for the winners. ✍ To be part and win prizes, follow the next steps: ✅ Register directly on the Open Innovation Challenge platform 👉 https://lnkd.in/dBzfSg8u ✅ Go to Challenges and select MultiRELOAD - Agricultural products on inland waterways - transport solutions and click VIEW DETAILS button ✅ Click the SUBMIT button and let’s get it started! ⏳ SUBMIT YOUR IDEAS by 𝟎𝟕.𝟏𝟐.𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 🔎 For more details see also 👇 👀 https://lnkd.in/dT8GRxSr #prosperitythroughdiversity #danubeyouthcouncil #macroregions4u

🚀 Innovation Projects 🚀 🗓 Last week Erre Quadro joined the General Assembly of AUTO-TWIN Project in 📍 Milan. We had a detailed discussion, in collaboration with Syxis, about business exploitation of the #profilers, identifying potential markets, customers and value propositions. 📣 Stay Tuned!📣 #ErreQuadro #idea #sustainability #eu #sustainable #europeanunion #circulareconomy #climatechange #digitalinnovation #sustainableinnovation #greeneconomy #green #circulardesign #actionplan #renovable #renewableenergy #circularity #europe #loveplanet #research #innovation #economy #sustainable #inclusion #environmental #sustainabledevelopment #economicsustainability #environmentalsustainability #recycling #development #future #change #digital #project

The Ulrikaringen Innovation Ecosystem is a place based initiative that connects local strenghts with regional, national and global opportunities given by the strategic areas of the place based initiative. Simplified: we do what we can from what we have and who are active. The place based innovation of Ulrikaringen aligns with the Smart Specialisation Strategy by European Commission. I have experience from that since 10 years. The place based innovation also aligns with the New European Bauhaus initiative that focuses on making neighborhoods sustainable, inclusive, and beautiful. A neighbourhood is a place where people live, work, and play. It is a physical space having a social, cultural, and environmental context. A neighbourhood should be designed and built in a way that is environmentally friendly and resilient to climate change. Aspects cluld be renewable energy sources, reducing energy consumption, and creating green spaces. It should have an inviting feeling, for example by natural materials, creating attractive public spaces, and incorporating art and culture. It should be designed for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or social background. Citizens, businesses, and regional stakeholders can work together to facilitate neighbourhoods. We are interested in other innovation ecosystems which originate from individual or small group effort. We can learn from each other, share practices, experiences. In such way we jointly find ways to progress our local contexts.

Would you like to discover the role of material passports in ensuring circularity in the built environment? As well as the need for certifications to ensure the authenticity of the data collected? Join me on Thursday to listen to the next Modulyss talk and learn about innovative solutions to eliminate the concept of waste. #CircularBuiltEnvironment #C2CCertified

🧐 Which interesting companies, innovative people, eco-effective start-ups and sustainable groups join our site actually? How do we make a match between the site and an establishment? During the marketing phase BGAD is looking for companies that can identify with the sustainable philosophy of Blue Gate Antwerp. 🧠 They are companies that want to move in the direction of the circular economy together. To simplify and objectify the ‘match-making process’, the identification tool developed by Bopro is used. This assesses whether businesses can create significant sustainable added value by locating on the site. It also evaluates the potential for synergies with other establishments or nearby businesses. Businesses are retained or not, based on the assessment achieved in the identification tool. The questions addressed in the identification tool are based on the three key objectives of the Blue Triangle: - #Site – Synergy on the spot: are there potential synergies with other businesses on and around the site? - #Building – Circular building: to what extent will a sustainable building be erected? - #Business activity – Circular business model: is there a commitment to a sustainable and circular economy? Two types of companies can typically be distinguished: 1) the front runners who lead by example in terms of sustainability, innovation and circularity, and 2) the fast followers who have a match with various common interests and set sustainable ambitions with an accompanying roadmap. Are you a front runner or a fast follower? 🏃♂️ #matchmaking #community

Our Vedrova business development team was present at InnovFest 2.0, organized by six cluster organizations (VIL, Flanders' FOOD, Flux50 , Medvia, Catalisti & De Blauwe Cluster vzw) powered by VLAIO. The goal of InnovFest is to stimulate innovation within Flemish companies and organizations. 🌍🤓 One of the main topics was building a sustainable future. Jürgen Ingels' keynote left a lasting impression, urging us to embrace and nurture innovation within our company. He quoted Charles Holland Duell in 1880 that everything that can be invented, already has been invented. Therefore creativity is necessary to thrive whilst technology will move us forward in the next years and decades to come. ♻️👜 Creativity leads us to endless applications and possibilities. This was proven by the CITRIBEL case. For example, they managed to build a circular loop turning waste into fashion hand bags (and lots of other products are possible). This proves not only that Flanders is fashionable, but also that we succeed in creating circular technologies to innovate towards a green future. 🏢🤝 Finally the Sustainability Breakout Rooms focused on the pivotal role of collaboration in sustainable innovation. Geert Van Ballaer from Borealis shared a case study of six different companies with distinct backgrounds and standing uniting to create an innovative and fully recyclable packaging solution. One plus one adds up to three (and more), when we share knowledge. Yuliya Yakimova and Dave Wesseling from Vedrova even had the opportunity to meet Flemish minister Jo Brouns after the inspiring keynotes and breakout sessions. The event not only provided valuable insights but also connections that will undoubtedly shape our approach to innovation. Thanks for having us!
