Foreword

It is my pleasure to be leading this economic mission to France, which coincides with the state visit of His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen.

The Netherlands cherishes its strong and long-standing economic relations with France, and our two countries greatly value the cooperation we enjoy within Europe. This mission is the culmination of the French-Dutch economic year, launched in 2015 under the motto ‘France & the Netherlands – powered by cooperation in innovation and sustainability’.

France and the Netherlands have a great deal to offer each other. Innovation and sustainable development are high on the agenda in both countries and we are collaborating on global issues like efficient energy consumption and food security. Take for instance the smart cities partnership, in which Amsterdam, Grenoble and Lyon are pooling knowledge in order to cut urban energy consumption. We each bring our own strengths to this partnership: Amsterdam has expertise in using IT to regulate energy supplies while Lyon and Grenoble have developed innovative solutions to mobility issues. In addition, Dutch and French companies are engaged in joint research on plant breeding. Our two countries rank among the world leaders in this field and are helping to boost global food security though a variety of projects. Some of the leading innovative products created through our cooperation will be showcased during the mission’s ‘innovation parade’.

I wish you all a very successful day. By strengthening our ties with France and jointly boosting innovation and sustainability, we will be better equipped to tackle the challenges of our society – together.

Bon voyage.

Lilianne PloumenMinister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation

Avant-propos

C’est un grand plaisir de conduire la présente mission économique en France, parallèlement à la visite d’État de nos souverains.

Les Pays-Bas entretiennent avec la France une ancienne et forte relation économique, et les deux pays attachent une grande importance à la coopération européenne. La présente mission, dont le thème est « La France et les Pays-Bas, propulsés par l’innovation et le développement durable », est le point d’orgue de l’année économique franco-néerlandaise lancée en 2015.

La France et les Pays-Bas ont beaucoup à s’apporter mutuellement. Tous deux considèrent l’innovation et le développement durable comme des priorités de leur agenda ; ils œuvrent à l’élaboration de solutions répondant aux problématiques mondiales telles que l’efficacité de la consommation énergétique et la sécurité alimentaire. Amsterdam, Grenoble et Lyon coopèrent ainsi dans le domaine des villes intelligentes afin de réduire la consommation énergétique urbaine grâce au partage des connaissances. Les apports français et néerlandais se complètent, le point fort d’Amsterdam étant l’utilisation des TIC pour la régulation énergétique, tandis que Lyon et Grenoble proposent des solutions innovantes aux questions de mobilité. Autre exemple de la coopération franco-néerlandaise : le domaine de la sélection végétale, dans lequel nos pays sont des acteurs de premier plan qui contribuent par divers projets à la sécurité alimentaire mondiale. Durant la mission, la revue de l’innovation présentera un aperçu des produits innovants issus de la coopération franco-néerlandaise.

Je ne doute pas que cette journée sera fructueuse. Ensemble, nous pouvons intensifier les liens avec la France en matière d’innovation et de durabilité, afin de mieux pouvoir répondre aux défis sociétaux.

Je vous souhaite à tous un bon voyage !

Foreword

France and the Netherlands enjoy excellent economic relations. Their bilateral relations in the areas of trade, investment and innovation are extremely solid. France is a key export market for the Netherlands. At the same time, both countries are conscious of the potential for strengthening our economic relations even further, in order to achieve a stable, sustainable and strong economy that is fit for the future. That is why I believe we must continue to invest in one another. Obtaining a better understanding of and insight into each other’s knowledge, expertise and innovative potential will serve to bolster trade relations and investment between France and the Netherlands.

I am convinced that the many activities scheduled during this French-Dutch bilateral economic year will not only catalyse this process but will also pave the way for further bilateral cooperation. An excellent example was the meeting held during the Grand Départ of the Tour de France in Utrecht last summer, when government and business representatives from France and the Netherlands discussed common issues. In addition, the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (VNO-NCW) and its French counterpart MEDEF continue to work together as part of the Strategic Business Dialogue launched in 2014.

Coinciding with the state visit of His Majesty King Willem-Alexander and Her Majesty Queen Máxima, is the visit by Lilianne Ploumen, the Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, with a trade mission of over 110 Dutch businesses, including a delegation of CEOs. The trade mission is focused on high-tech systems and materials, agri-food and energy – sectors in which Dutch companies can offer a wealth of expertise and innovative products that tie in with France’s ambitions. Under the expert leadership of French and Dutch moderators, companies from our two countries will team up to create new opportunities for practical cooperation in fields like aerospace, the bio-based economy, the circular economy, food innovation, plant breeding, serious gaming, smart cities, and offshore wind energy.

For Dutch people doing business with foreign partners, the unfamiliar language, culture and bureaucracy can take some getting used to. But as entrepreneurs they do not allow this to prevent them from grasping new opportunities. I am convinced that the state visit to France by our King and Queen will inspire new forms of cooperation with our French partners.

Hans de BoerPresident, Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (VNO-NCW)Head of the business delegation

Avant-propos

La France et les Pays-Bas entretiennent d’excellentes relations économiques, extrêmement solides en matière de commerce, d’investissement et d’innovation. Ces relations économiques peuvent cependant encore être renforcées dans la perspective d’une économie stable, durable et forte, ouverte sur l’avenir. Le marché français revêt en effet une très grande importance pour les Pays-Bas, aussi me paraît-il essentiel que nos pays poursuivent leurs investissements réciproques. Une meilleure compréhension des connaissances, de l’expertise et des capacités d’innovation respectives ne peut que contribuer au renforcement de ces investissements et des relations commerciales.

Je suis persuadé que les nombreuses activités déployées dans le cadre de l’année bilatérale économique 2015-2016 jouent en la matière un rôle catalyseur, favorisant ainsi la coopération franco-néerlandaise. La réunion qui s’est tenue en marge du départ du Tour de France à Utrecht l’été dernier en a fourni un bon exemple, en rassemblant autour de dossiers communs les pouvoirs publics et les entreprises des deux pays. La confédération des employeurs néerlandais VNO-NCW et le MEDEF continuent par ailleurs à s’impliquer dans le cadre du dialogue commercial stratégique lancé en 2014.

Parallèlement à la visite d’État de S.M. le roi Willem-Alexander et de S.M. la reine Máxima, Mme Liliane Ploumen, ministre du Commerce extérieur et de la Coopération au Développement, conduira une importante délégation comprenant plus de 110 sociétés néerlandaises ainsi qu’un groupe de dirigeants d’entreprises. La mission commerciale sera axée sur les systèmes et matériaux high-tech (HTSM), l’agroalimentaire et l’énergie, secteurs dans lesquels les Pays-Bas peuvent offrir une grande expertise et des produits innovants qui répondent aux ambitions françaises. Sous la conduite avisée de modérateurs français et néerlandais, les entreprises des deux pays s’efforceront de développer ensemble de nouvelles possibilités de coopération concrète dans le domaine aérospatial, de la bioéconomie, de l’économie circulaire, de l’innovation alimentaire, de la phytogénétique, des jeux sérieux, des villes intelligentes et des éoliennes offshore.

Les entreprises néerlandaises doivent certes s’habituer à la langue et à la culture ainsi qu’aux formalités administratives afférentes à leurs activités, mais cela ne les empêchent pas de saisir les chances qui se présentent. Je suis certain que la visite de nos souverains sera une source d’inspiration pour développer de nouvelles formes de coopération avec nos partenaires français.

Changing currentsToday, economic growth is a hot topic, and for a good reason. Stimulation of inclusive economic growth remains a shared global challenge. Combined with massive urbanisation flows and increasing consequences of climate change, countries’ economic, environmental and social development are put to test. Living in metropolitan conurbations requires new ways of thinking in order to maintain a comfortable lifestyle. To secure the sustainable urban development, countries are increasingly looking for intelligent solutions to safeguard the welfare and wellbeing of their citizens.

Water shaped the Dutch DNA There are few nations anywhere in the world that can link their economic and social development and their success so clearly and distinctly to their physical environment as the Dutch. Located in a low-lying delta at the confluence of three major rivers, the Netherlands presented a challenging and risk-laden environment in which to settle and grow what would become one of Europe’s strongest economies. However, the Dutch took on this mega-challenge and, for centuries now, have succeeded in creating a thriving nation in this vulnerable and sometimes inhospitable landscape.

An integrated approachThe Dutch, to a very great extent, formed their physical landscape and, in return, this process of tackling mega-projects that demanded thinking and working together on a grand scale, is what formed the essence of the Dutch character today. Through mastering the threats that water presented, from both sea and rivers, the Dutch, in a sense, defined themselves. Their character is typified by holistic thinking, collaborative and cooperative working, pragmatism and future-proofing. By working with nature, as opposed to against it, the Dutch succeeded in creating sustainable solutions for the growth of their economy. Where land was scarce – it was created; ingeniously reclaimed from the sea through grand feats of engineering and defended by networks of dykes and pumps, powered initially by wind energy. The windmills were the ingenious machines that helped drain the land; and land is a valuable commodity if you have one of the most densely populated countries on the planet.

Creative solutions were also needed in order to live in harmony in dense urban conurbations. Solutions that not only focus on practical issues such as waste-disposal, drinking water, air quality, and habitation, but also on issues such as governance, tolerance and a fair society. These solutions, borne out of necessity, have made the Dutch experts in a number of areas, allowing them to export and share their knowledge and expertise throughout the world.

The explorative mind-set that the Dutch DNA embodies is a result of thinking-up intelligent, out-of-the-box solutions for large-scale challenges. The Dutch way of working is driven by inclusivity, cross-fertilisation, integration, and looking at ‘the bigger picture’. The pragmatic, purposeful solutions they arrive at are visible throughout all its economic sectors innovations, which secure the future of their land and its people. They live in a sustainable urban delta.

Co-creating intelligent solutions worldwideBeing a model sustainable urban delta, the Netherlands provides real-world solutions for countries’ urgent challenges. To face today’s urgent global challenges, we can build upon the Dutch long-term experience, combining it with local short-term innovations to help foster a sustainable urban development. The cooperation between the government, private sector and knowledge institutions still provides the stable base for the integrated solutions that keep the Dutch sustainable urban delta a prosperous and lively place to live. In the Netherlands, it is believed that sharing knowledge creates value. We listen, but we prefer a dialogue in order to co-create an international climate for growth.

Avantium Chemicals: Catalytic R&D for groundbreaking innovations

Avantium is a leading technology company specialized in the area of advanced catalytic research, with groundbreaking innovation as our primary goal. We do this through two distinct propositions: Catalysis and YXY. It is our mission to make customers successful by providing smart and fast solutions, based on our unique technology, knowledge and expertise. Over the last 15 years we (co)invented multiple new catalysts, new chemical processes and realized significant cost savings allowing our customers to achieve their business objectives much faster than previously possible. Based on this expertise we developed a novel process for the creation of commercial PEF. YXY is the brand name for this cost competitive technology platform to catalytically convert plant based materials into biobased chemicals and bioplastics like the polyester PEF. PEF is a novel 100% biobased polyester with strongly enhanced barrier, thermal and mechanical properties over existing packaging materials. Together with our partners The Coca-Cola Company, Danone, ALPLA, Wifag-Polytype and Mitsui we aim to make PEF bottles, fibres and films a commercial success. Our proprietary YXY process to make PEF has been proven at pilot plant scale as we are now moving to commercial deployment. Recently our partners made a new investment in Avantium, which brings us closer to the first commercial scale plant.

Willem SederelManaging Director

In the Biobased Delta, government organisations from Zeeland, North Brabant and South Holland work together with small and medium-sized businesses, multinationals and knowledge institutions to gain momentum for a biobased economy. In a biobased economy, fossil raw materials like oil are replaced by renewable raw materials. This is essential to reduce the carbon footprint, resulting in a positive impact on climate change. The Southwest Netherlands is the Dutch frontrunner in the biobased economy. Historically, this region has always had all the ingredients necessary to be globally competitive in the new, green world, thanks to its large number of agricultural and chemical companies, strategic location between two international ports and strong logistics sector. A study conducted by Deloitte (Biobased Delta, a globally competitive region for developing biobased business, 2015) confirms the distinctive and (competitive) international position of the Biobased Delta. The report shows that the region has ample capability to make the most of being an ‘early mover’ to increase the economic value of sugars through chemistry.

The Biobased Delta has had the same triple helix composition since 2012. At the end of 2013, the partnership took the formof a foundation. The ambitions are high: the Biobased Delta aims to be a top region in which new insights into the biobased economy are applied in the processindustry and agro-food sector in a smart way. This can be achieved by bringing together the relevant parties and working with comparable organisations both in the Netherlands and abroad, such as IAR Cluster from France. The top locations and application centres of the Biobased Delta also play an important role in its success, as they provide a knowledge infrastructure and serve as an important link to practice.

In summary:• Highly competitive Eco-system for Biobased Economy: Agro meets Chemistry• Biomass Feedstock position • An available Market• A worldclass knowledge Infrastructur

Leon MurManaging Director

Foundation aimed at stimulating the development of commercial applications for plant compounds

Dutch Library of Plant Extracts

Interest in plant compounds within many industries is increasing due to a growing demand for natural products and unique bio-activities such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and flavours.

The Dutch horticultural industry cultivates many different plant species under highly controlled conditions. Currently, these plants are grown for decoration (plants and flowers) or for food (fruit and vegetables). However, the presence of tens of thousands of different, largely unknown, plant compounds in these crops may lead to new, high-value applications.

The wide biodiversity of plant compounds in Dutch horticultural crops is currently not easily accessible to the aforementioned market segments. What the horticulture sector can deliver at the moment is not directly compatible with the methods used by these industries to screen for the identification of potential products. In order to efficiently unlock the biodiversity to enable highquality applications in these markets, a tool is being developed that will forge links between horticultural crops and high-quality applications of plant compounds, or in other words between the growers and these new markets. The Extract Library is the tool that will bridge this gap.

The Extract Library is open to• Parties that want to screen for bioactive compounds with their own

bio-assays • Parties that want to analyse the extracts for the presence of specific

compounds (from 2015);• Parties that can deliver additional plant material to be added as an

extract to the library • Any other use of the Extract Library is open for discussion.

Stef OosterlooStrategist City of Rotterdam

Iris Willems Advisor International Affairs

Rotterdam is the second largest city in the Netherlands. The geographical location on a major Rhine-Maas-Scheldt river delta adjoining the North Sea makes Rotterdam a natural ‘Gateway to Europe’. It is centrally located between the three largest economies in Europe: Germany, France and the United Kingdom. This strategic location combined with excellent hinterland connections has made Rotterdam the largest port and the logistics centre of Europe. The port and surrounding energy and chemical industry also make up the largest industrial cluster in the Netherlands.

Rebuilt extensively after 1945, Rotterdam has always embraced innovation, whether in architecture, medical technology, clean tech, port technology and logistics, the food sector or the creative industries.

Rick van EsHead of Business Unit Workwear

Erik ToenhakeCEO

DutchSpirit is a company dedicated to sustainable and circular clothing. Together with Schoeller Textiles AG in Switzerland we developed Inspire, an innovative workwear fabric, designed to fully meet the principles that define the circular economy. Standard current workwear is made of a polyester cotton blend, which is not recycable. Thus, an enormous amount of clothing is discarded and costly resources are wasted.

The innovative fabric Inspire has the look and feel of cotton, but consists of 100 % polyester; workwear produced with Inspire can be recycled again and again. Special coatings make sure the material sends perspiration out quickly and give the fabric a very comfortable, cooling effect.

With Inspire we offer a full range of fabrics: a light version for worker pants, heavy versions for overalls, fleece for jumpers, polo piqué for polo shirts, softshell for jackets and a waterproof version for coats. High visibility colours are, of course, possible. Our clients are construction and industrial companies, hospitals, cleaning services, refuse collection and other companies where quality workwear is needed.

Inspire is a more comfortable and stronger alternative to regular workwear fabric. It consists of 60% recycled PET and is 100% recyclable. Inspire is also available with an MRSA bacteria killing coating.

We’d like to get in touch with workwear manufacturers and suppliers interested in including Inspire in their line of products for their modern and environmentally conscious customers. Further, we encourage trendsetting businesses to jointly approach their own workwear manufacturers.

EBUSCO is a Dutch bus manufacturer who focuses on the development,marketing and sales of 100% electric buses for the European market. Thelatest EBUSCO 2.1 100% electric city bus has a range up to 300 kilometers and a capacity of more than 90 passengers, which enables a flexible operation within the city center.

The distinguishing characteristics of this low floor full electric bus were achieved due to a major in-company redesign of a city bus with an efficient drive line and high energy density battery package, serving a safe and economically optimal public transport.At this moment, EBUSCO is the only bus manufacturer in Europe who hasa full electric bus in daily operation and have gained extensive practicalexperience through the deployment of several buses in Helsinki and Stavanger and extensive tests in Munich, Bonn, Bremen, Aken, Maastricht, and Copenhagen which also lead to real orders.The 100% electric buses validate competitive performances compared to diesel buses and attractive energy consumptions, even at steep slopes (tested in Austria) and during extreme winter conditions (tested in Helsinki for more than 2 years).

In France, EBUSCO established contacts with several PTO’s and PTA’s in cities e.g. Lyon, Lille, Aix-en-Provence, Nice and La Rochelle and with the region Ile-de-France/Paris. EBUSCO was the only electric bus manufacturer who has been driven daily at the COP21 in Paris and is now driving in line with the EBUSCO 2.1 bus in Paris till July 2016, while the 10 buses that are to be ordered will be delivered in 2016.

Since 2010 we are importing ECO-Boards from the plants in Asia that use our technology to create a market for Strawboards in the EU and we are now in the process of realising the first new production plants in the Netherlands and Italy.

ECO-Boards, Bio-based panels are made from agricultural residues such as straw or reeds and bonded together mainly with the natural lignin without any formaldehyde. ECO-Boards are a healthy and ecological alternative to chipboard, MDF, OSB or Plywood. https://twitter.com/eco_boards

• Bio-based - bio degradable and/or reusable - Cradle2Cradle• No Formaldehyde or chemical emissions E0 - CARB - Halal• Negative Carbon Footprint – stores more CO2 than its weight• Superior Fire Resistance 30 min for standard ECO-Boards• Better Water Resistance than wood-based• Insulating board with structural strength, load bearing & Stability• Excellent strength to weight performance • Termite Prevention• Circular Economy

ECO-Boards goes beyond CRADLE 2 CRADLE since it starts with raw materials that are a waste problem but produce high quality and healthy building materials and furniture that at end of life can be easily reprocessed into equivalent materials

ECO-Boards have a NEGATIVE Carbon Footprint, which means they store CO2, the impact to the CO2 balance is HUGE. > 200,000 TONS of CO2 less per year per factory.

Looking for strategic partnerships in France to distribute ECO-Boards and/or to produce Value Added Products like furniture, prefab construction.

Also looking for serious investors for expansion with an ECO-Boards factory in France and local suppliers of biomass like straw from wheat , canola, sugarcane , maize, sunflower etc..

Frank GeertsProgram manager Smart Charging

ElaadNL, along with EVnetNL, emerged from the e-laad foundation, which established a network of more than 3,000 public charging stations for electric cars across the Netherlands between 2009 and 2014. The aim of this initiative was to stimulate EV.

ElaadNL is the knowledge and innovation centre in the field of (smart) charging infrastructure in the Netherlands and is owned by the Dutch DSOs. ElaadNL coordinates the connections of public charging stations to the electricity grid and has been working from the beginning to adapt the grid connection demands to make these more fitting to charge points. The existing charging stations are managed by EVnetNL in coordination with the relevant municipalities to provide an innovative charge network, a living lab for ElaadNL. ElaadNL is involved in many ‘practical’ developments such as e-clearing.net and developed the de-facto global standard for connecting different charge stations, the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).

The emergence of electric mobility and sustainable charging is a significant development for the electricity grid. Through their mutual involvement via ElaadNL, the DSOs acquire an overview of the measures to be taken to ensure that the network remains reliable and affordable, whilst enabling the development of E-mobility. Innovative solutions are explored that will generate great benefits for society. Optimal use can be made of the existing grid by ‘smart charging’, requiring fewer expensive investments of the electricity grid. ElaadNL also enables market parties to benefit from the potential flexibility that an EV can provide to match the demand from EVs from the intermittent (non-controllable) sustainable supply/generation.

iLost is the Google of lost and found. One global platform to search where your lost property is found and have it delivered back home the next day.

600.000.000 lost items are found at public places like cinema’s, hotels, public transport, events and theme parks each year. These organizations store the found items in a box, simply because they don’t know who the owner is. And for these companies it’s is never core-business. It’s a hassle. We live in a digital world where everything is connected. Everything – that is – except for the thousands of cardboard boxes around the world bursting with items of lost property. At most, these found items are listed on an Excel spreadsheet tucked away on someone’s hard disk. As a result an average of only 7% of found items are returned to their owner. iLost’s has changed all of this!

Organizations using our software turn hassle into happiness.

So far, we’ve returned over six thousand items of lost property to their owners in twenty-three countries.

How? With the iLost app you simply take a photo of the found property and publish it online. No more phonecalls and filling out forms, so no distraction for employees and no waste of time for the owner. Simple, efficient and better service for everyone.

We invite your company to join our global network and set the new standard of lost & found service! Please get in touch. Inashco

Inashco; the Incinerator Ash Company

On a global scale, more and more household and industrial waste is being converted into energy in a responsible and sustainable manner. While producing electricity, steam and heat from waste the ash residues that remain are considered to be waste in itself, as long as these ash residues are not adequately treated.

Inashco was founded in the Netherlands in 2008 to offer a unique patented technology developed by the Technical University of Delft. This breakthrough technology optimizes the recovery and volume of fine non-ferrous metals from municipal waste to energy ash. Today Inashco is market leader for waste to energy ash treatment globally, operating 24 ash treatment installations treating over 4 million tons of ash annually.

VisionIt is our vision that all ash residues from a Waste to Energy facility should not be considered as waste, but rather as a resource of valuable metals and a broad spectrum of minerals that can be brought back into the economy preserving scarce natural resources.

MissionOur mission is to be the partner of choice for the Waste to Energy sector with respect to their ash residues. With many years of operational experience and a vast set of patented and industry standard technologies to optimize recycling effectiveness we have the ability to create tailor made solutions for all ash related challenges globally.

Kevin RijkeCEO

Mendel RobbersCreative Director

The 90-hectare Industrial Park Kleefse Waard (IPKW) in Arnhem is a former AkzoNobel complex, built in 1941 and transformed in 2003 into innovative, sustainable grounds for cleantech companies.

It goes way beyond just offering work spaces. The industrial park has become an innovative ecosystem in which economic and social activities as well as production processes and energy and waste flows are intertwined. Spatial projects highlighting the cultural-historical value play an important role, and buildings are redeveloped in a sustainable manner.The concept of the Eco-Industrial Park is further carried out in collaboration with utility partner Veolia. The park has its own power plant and its own water treatment plant, which are both preserved. Furthermore, residual flows are used so that the waste flows of one company can serve as raw materials for another. Small and large companies were established in this sustainable ecosystem, each of which contribute to the cleantech innovation chain. These are companies that focus on sustainable power generation, such as Deepwater-Energy (generation from slowly running water) and Nedstack (PEM fuel cells). With hydrogen, such as HyGear (small-scale, on-site generation) and HyMove (hydrogen buses). And with sustainable wood preservation, such as Platowood and Accsys Technologies. Companies such as AkzoNobel, TÜV Rheinland, General Electric and 4PET Recycling as well as consultants and many startups are located at IPKW as well.

This range of companies works with the IPKW project organization and with the various educational institutes and governments to expand knowledge and skills in circular economics.

Tiny cress that make a huge impact.Koppert Cress is on a never-ending quest to find natural, innovative ingredients that chefs can use to intensify the taste, scent or presentation of their dishes. A huge international network of biologists, plant experts and gastronomists support a steady stream of products, that meet the ever higher culinary demands of restaurants around the world.

Cress are freshly germinated seedlings from 100% natural, aromatic plants. These plants offer a freshness and intensity in taste and scent, which are only present in young plants. The flavours, gathered from all the corners of the earth, give an exotic touch to your dishes and intensify your guests’ experience. It is amazing what innovative possibilities the 27 cresses and 32 specialties offer and the response they create from your guests

The Koppert Cress’ approach is unique in horticulture. Baan focussed on the end users and presented his products to the finest chefs in Europe. Creative and innovative as most are, they immediately felt the connection and started to use the cress.

Food safety and consistent quality are top priority at Koppert Cress. At this very moment one of the most sophisticated greenhouses is being build. The semi-closed glasshouse creates the optimal environment for the cress to grow. Solar panels provide the electricity required by the ‘state of the art’ LED lights. These in turn, provide the exact amount of light for optimal growth. Excess heat is harvested and stored 200 m deep, so it can be used in winter. Cold water is used in summer to cool the greenhouse.

Consortium Smart Solar Charging

A unique solution for accelerating the transition to renewable energy

Energy storage is the key to 100% sustainable energy supply. We see The (car) battery as local storage option

The batterycapacity in affordable electric cars will tripple in the near future. By the end of 2016 several large car brands will be presenting electric cars that can drive at least 300 km on a single battery charge. That’s enough energy storage to provide an average Dutch household with electricity for more than a week.

General Electric, Vidyn, LomboXnet, LastMile Solutions and Stedin have formed a Dutch consortium to develop the world’s first solar-controlled, bi-directional, compact charging station for electric cars. This smart charging station for solar energy, can both charge and discharge electric cars and thus transform car batteries to a storage system to supply homes with renewable power for 24-hours a day.

The smart charging stations, developed in Utrecht, are an essential element in a new, local and sustainable energy system. Thanks to open standards it can be applied to all cars, everywhere.

Smart Solar Charging thus contributes to: • Required storage to enable the transition to renewables• Smart 100% clean mobility • Higher returns on solar power• Reduction of electricity peaks in the grid• Healthy air, especially in heavily urban areas

This new energy-system will be deployed together with Elaad and 15 cities in the region of Utrecht. It will be based on 1.000 charging-stations, 1.000 electric cars in a carsharing-program and 10.000 new solarpanels.

Bert van VuurenCEO

100% Green, Sustainable and Responsible Tree ManagementIn 2009 Natural Plastics started developing the Keeper system. The idea of planting trees without tree stakes is not new; there are several alternative systems on the market. The Keeper system distinguishes itself in a sustainable manner from tree stakes and said alternative systems. By using bio-plastics, produced from residual waste from the food industry, a sustainable and high quality product has been developed with CO2 reducing qualities. Product development has been centred around a solution from beginning to end, or “Cradle to Grave”.The solutions of Natural Plastics are the result of thinking process in circles. Our products are all fully biologically degradable and are as such both at the beginning as well as at the end of the circle.Since its introduction a large number of local, regional and even national governments have adopted the Keeper system. In July 2012 a so-called Green Deal with the Dutch government was struck. In short this means that top officials from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs have extensively researched the Keeper system and concluded that it is a concrete step towards a bio based economy and should become the norm in the Netherlands for planting trees. This also means that they intend to include it in horticultural education.Natural Plastics sells her Keeper system which is composed of the following parts: the Eco Keeper, Naturope, Natudrain and the Natusheet. Further we provide Biobased Consultancy and Workshops. Natural Plastics can also help you to develop new biobased products. We gladly share our biobased knowledge and functional international network with you.

Rob KwintenProduct manager

NewFoss has developed a disruptive innovation technology and business model in order to achieve economic exploitation of waste biomass streams, (i.e. natural and road side grass, agro residues) via the most sustainable refining technology. NewFoss has developed a unique, patented ‘mild extracting’ technology for valorizing 100% of this biomass into renewable solid and liquid output streams, such as NewFoss Fiber (NFF) as a raw material for the paper & cardboard industry and NewFoss Liquid (NFL) for bio plastics (PLA), biogas feedstock and liquid fertilizer replacement. The first NewFoss pilot plant has been built in Uden, the Netherlands.

The NewFoss organic extraction process:• Is based on the biological disclosure of the biomass cells;• Makes 100% of the biomass flow elements re-usable in beneficial applications;• Does not require any expensive and energy consuming pre-treatment like heating and high-pressure.

Currently NewFoss is selling the NewFoss fiber to the Huhtamaki group, a global packaging company, that produces the so called ‘GreeNest’ egg-boxes available in the supermarkets in The Netherlands, Germany and UK. The world’s first packaging consisting of 50% grass fibers is one of Huhtamaki’s steps towards more sustainable production and raw material use.

Looking for matchmaking with companies that might be interested in the NewFoss technology and fibre, (i.e. producers in the paper and cardboard industry). Also technology companies for roll out.

Arjan van RaadshoovenManaging Director

Mieke MeijerCreative Director

NewspaperWood reverses a traditional production process by reprocessing (news)paper into a wood-like material.

When a NewspaperWood log is cut, the layers of paper appear like lines of a wood grain or the rings of a tree and therefore resembles the aesthetic of real wood. The created material can be cut, milled, sanded and generally treated like any other type of wood.

As a source material, NewspaperWood only uses misprints and pre-consumer newspapers from a local printing press. To actually upcycle the newspapers into this new material, newspapers are (temporarily) taken out of the existing cycle of paper-recycling. By using a specific glue to construct the material, the waste material (even the product itself) can be introduced into paper recycling again. With this, NewspaperWood shows how a surplus of material can be changed into something more valuable by using it in another context and is therefore considered as an example of ‘upcycling’. The result is a premium high-end material which comes available as sheets of veneer.

NewspaperWood BV is dedicated to the production and development of the NewspaperWood material in order to find new intermediate products and innovative applications. We aim for high-end consumer brands & architecture for our material positioning and market exploration. We help brands to distinguish themselves in materialisation, design and sustainability. With our years of experience in developing and applying NewspaperWood, we are not only able to supply the material itself, but also help our clients to specifically develop to their needs.

Anneke RoesManager

Erwin HoutzagerFounder & CEO

World’s most innovative accelerator of total algae solutions was founded in 2009 based on insights of worlds’ health and nutrition developments and demands. In past decades food production methods and quality of foods have dramatically changed; current food production systems put food security and food quality at stake.

Food related health issues, food composition, security and sustainability, wealth development and population growth, require a change in food types and a different approach towards food production.

To solve these bottlenecks, a drastic change in production as well as type of food is necessary. One of the organisms that inevitably will play a dominant role in this solution are algae. Algae are fast growing organisms and can contain high levels of macro- and micronutrients. The versatility of these organisms will play a role in the switch from artificial and/or synthetic towards natural ingredients.

Phycom – based in Nijkerk – has grown to one of Europe’s largest and most innovative algae food companies. The unique production system in combination with the meticulous selection of raw materials, result in superior algae with consistent quality and composition. As a result, Phycoms’ microalgae are free from iodine, heavy metals, pesticides, antibiotics, microbes and other contaminants. Phycom – and its’ daughter company Nutress - is ISO 22000:2005 and Natrue certified.

By continuously working toward innovative solutions Phycom will provide tomorrows sustainable nutrition for animal and men.

Playful solutions for serious matters

There’s no escaping the fact. The importance of professional development and education in today’s knowledge-based society is ever growing. We need to acquire knowledge, insight and skills more quickly and effectively than ever before. Anticipate what’s around the corner. We’ve got to be smarter, better, faster.

You’d think then, that learning and personal development would also be changing to meet today’s needs. Becoming more inspiring and challenging. So why does it still so often fall short? A group sitting in a classroom passively listening to a teacher just doesn’t cut it in today’s demanding environments. We need to embrace learning through experiencing and playing because this is our natural way of acquiring knowledge. More fun and more effective. And that’s how Qlvr can have a serious impact on your organization.

Qlvr accelerates learning with serious games and interactive media. Or to put it differently: we develop playful solutions for serious matters. Always with a commitment to finding the ideal ‘blend’ - a clever mix of gameplay, interaction and visualization. And always built on solid scientific foundations. A mix of science, design and technology to develop the most effective game based learning for professional development and education.

We are already helping organizations such as ING Bank, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and University Medical Center Utrecht. We would like to get in touch with organizations that are interested in new ways of handling professional performance and education. As a client, or as a partner.

Max BeaumontCo-founder

Skytree uses space-technology to help grow plants and clean water. We do this by harnessing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air, and providing it to the user on-site, where it’s needed. We thereby remove the need for bulky cylinders, high-pressure pipelines and cryogenic storage containers which is the conventional method of supply CO2. Instead we provide convenience; essentially ‘plug and play CO2’. Our CO2 also happens to be ‘carbon-neutral’ as we take it out of the air.

The main USPs of Skytree’s ® Direct Air Capture technology: • Plug and play convenience • Location independence • Supplier independence • No transport/storage limitations • Carbon-neutral • Autonomous • Adjustable • Safe

CO2 is needed in a wide array of industrial sectors such as urban farming, algae production, water purification as well as consumer markets such as aquarium-keeping, swimming pool management and home beverage carbonation.

Nominated and awarded The Hague Innovator 2016 Urban Mining will initiate this year a new style of Crowdfunding, making use of the value of waste. All inhabitants of The Hague are invited to participate. We do not ask for their money, we will ask for their waste instead!

CONVERTING WASTE INTO RESOURCESEvery kilogramme of E-Waste (everything with a power plug and/or battery) and plastics entitles participants to one share in Urban Mining. In a first tranche of 6 million shares we will collect 6 million kg. of waste, we rather refer to 6.000 tonnes of resources. Involving social labour, Urban Mining will dismantle electronic and electrical equipment and will start sorting both metals and plastics.

In co-operation with TU-Delft and The Hague University of Applied Sciences we will support developing technologies to improved separation of, among others, printed circuit boards and making use of the innovative potential of 3D-printing.

UPCYCLING With all resources collected, Urban Mining will start Upcycling. A topical illustration is the concept developed by Plastic Whale to produceWasteboards, skateboards made out of, among other materials, caps fromsodadrink bottles. Other innovations, such as integrally 3D-printing ofPrinted Circuit Boards to produce new electronic equipment is also veryappealing.

On our way, to a circular economy, in which we end wasting and where disposed equipment becomes basis for new products. TRASH IS CASH!

VDL Klima heat exchangers for the Maritime industry are used on ships around the world for the (in)direct cooling of cooling water and lubricating/hydraulic oil for equipment such as engines, motors, generators, transformers, butterworth cleaning installations, hydraulic systems and whirlpool heating. In addition to traditional plate-type heat exchangers, demand is increasing for box coolers and pod drive coolers in this sector. All our coolers guarantee a constant high efficiency of the output and extends the service life of the cooled machine by protecting it against external contaminants.

VDL Klima, with its heat exchanger group, employs in total over 350 employees and is part of VDL Groep since 1998. VDL Groep, with its head office in Eindhoven (The Netherlands), is an international industrial company focused on the development, production and sales of semi-finished products, buses & coaches and other finished products and the assembly of cars. Since the founding in 1953 this family-owned company has grown to include 87 operating companies, spread over 19 countries with more than 10,500 employees and a turnover of 2.5 billion euros. The strength of VDL Groep lies in the mutual cooperation between the companies.

Egbert JaspersCEO

Rob DierckxMarketing Manager

ViNotion (2007) is an innovative development company for computer vision applications, focussing on software development. We have a team of 12 people, many with a Master or PhD degree. For R&D, we closely work together with the Eindhoven University of Technology, the no.1 technical university in The Netherlands.

We have developed ViSense, a unique system for crowd and traffic analysis with intelligent video camera systems. Apart from counting, ViSense is able to distinguish pedestrians from bicycles and it can measure speed and density of people.

ViSense end-users are Retailer, City Marketers and Crowd and Event Managers. Among other things, ViSense is used for Smart-Mobility, road infrastructure and urban planning for Smart-City applications.

Using the latest technologies in computer vision, this unique system has the following advantages:• Up to 18 meters wide with one system• Average accuracy of 95%, even in heavily crowded situations• Standard surveillance cameras can be used• Multiple cameras can be combined• For indoor and outdoor use, under various lighting and weather conditions• Future-proof, upgradeable with upcoming features like gender recognition• API for easy integration into 3rd party back-office systems• Customizable to fit individual projects

We do not sell to- or support end-users directly. Instead, we work together with resellers and system integrators with expertise in IP surveillance cameras and ICT. To expand our business we are looking for partners to resell, integrate, install and support ViSense. We are also looking for partners who have the expertise to gather and integrate analytics data into a (multi-sensor) back-office system. VizionZ Engineering

Everybody likes a good story. But where to find one?

Wander Technologies is a young, fresh startup that builds hardware. Smart navigation devices that bring the wonder back to wandering. Our aim is to make an adventure of your citytrip by offering a whole new perspective on navigation on foot or bike.

Our first product is a connected compass that points to your next destination and shows the remaining distance. Combined with an easy-to-use digital platform and app for adding waypoints it lets you wander the city more freely, making the journey your destination. Together with some hidden surprises in our software, this ‘fuzzy navigation’ challenges visitors to leave the beaten track and discover new routes and places. Our wearable devices directly lead to a wider action radius and a more valuable experience of the city.

We offer a new and exciting way for tourists to explore unknown territory. For businesses in hospitality, like hotels or tour guides, we offer a distinctive way to provide a more valuable experience to customers and put themselves ‘on the map’. Furthermore, we work together with municipalities, like the city of Amsterdam, to get grip on the ever increasing amount of visitors and the better spread thereof.

We are looking for companies to work together on improving the experience of our products. This could be commercial parties as well as municipalities. Also, we are looking for potential market partners or B2B customers who are interested in using or reselling our product.
