COOCK+: Rethink Energy 4 Food
The aim of RE4F is the energy transition in the Flemish food industry. It focuses on energy and food process technologies that improve the energy transition, product quality and production efficiency, and promotes knowledge exchange, innovation and sustainable technologies.
TETRA: EnergyWise
How can AI-based analysis of energy consumption profiles contribute to energy optimization and the creation of a sustainable revenue model for energy management systems. The result should form an objective and substantiated advice for SMEs to minimize both energy costs and carbon footprint.
TETRA: Metatec
Metagenomics or metagenome analysis is the study of all DNA present from an isolated sample and involves the simultaneous identification of multiple (micro-)organisms for numerous applications. DNA sequencing technologies have made it possible to obtain the complete DNA of uncultivated microorganisms.
TETRA: Versnellen van AI Implementaties
SMEs struggle to navigate AI for energy efficiency despite its potential. This project bridges the gap between research and business, empowering SMEs to make informed choices about integrating AI tools for a smoother digital transition.
