All news and networking events of Innovation Place

On October 27th, 2023, the partners of BIOBESTicide met online for the final General Assembly of the project with the aim of discussing the work implemented in the last six months.

On October 25, 2023, the GLAMOUR consortium convened in Mol, Belgium, to showcase the most recent achievements within the project’s scope. Each partner presented their advancements in the various work packages and shared their plans for upcoming months.

The GLAMOUR project unveils a groundbreaking TRL5-scale prototype, crafted at Eindhoven University of Technology. This innovation seamlessly merges auto-thermal chemical looping reforming with a state-of-the-art Fischer-Tropsch reactor. With three reactors, pinpoint temperature and pressure control, and gas-handling prowess, this system is a game-changer for advanced #chemical processes.

In September, the European Commission presented a brand-new relief package to support Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Europe. Better access to funding is part of the plans, but the proposed ‘SME Relief Package’ is primarily a package of non-financial measures, designed to boost the competitiveness and resilience of European SMEs. What can we expect?

BIOBESTicide embarked on its journey in May 2020, and as we fast approach its end, it's an opportune moment to reflect on the remarkable progress achieved. Over the course of three and a half years, the consortium has not only persevered but thrived in the pursuit of a singular goal: to validate and demonstrate the production of an effective and economically efficient biopesticide.

How to implement a Focused, Faster, and Funded Innovation Strategy? That’s the question CiaoTech PNO addressed during the 9^th edition of the “R&D Controlling & Performance Management” conference, hosted in Cologne last week.

From 3rd to 5th of October 2023, Ciaotech - PNO Group participated in the second Consortium Meeting of the DINAMINE project, held in Oslo, Norway.

After one year of work, we are proud to present a brand-new report from PNO R&D Advisory Services. In “A study of the state-of-the-art and potential impact of Phosphorus, Inorganic and Nitrogen Flame Retardants (PIN FRs) on plastic recycling”, we deep dive into the emerging potential of PIN flame retardants. With a global consumption over 2.39 million tons in 2019, and driven by the growing trend to replace old, halogenated, flame retardants, they are potentially becoming the leading segment in the flame-retardant market of the next future! 

On October 9, the BIOBESTicide Project participated in the Festival dell’ Innovazione Agroalimentare, a significant occasion dedicated to networking and the exchange of knowledge among key players and stakeholders in the agrifood sector.
