Students from PERISCOPE regions (The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the UK) are invited to submit highly innovative, impactful and feasible ideas/business propositions for offshore energy and other sustainable off-shore inventions. These ideas/business propositions must contribute to a sustainable or circular economy.
Introduction
Generating and distributing electricity became a key issue in industrialized countries during the third phase of the industrial revolution, mainly between 1880 and 1930. In developing countries this progress is still ongoing. Without exaggeration, we can say that the generation and distribution of electricity is perhaps the greatest technical achievement of the twentieth century, which has had (and still has) a huge economic and societal impact in many respects. Although the electrification process already has a longstanding history, we only recently discovered the opportunities of electrification at sea. A major incentive has been the need to rethink energy generation systems as a result of rising CO² levels in the atmosphere and the resulting global warming. To combat global warming, we need cleaner forms of energy, not only for the shipping industry, but also for onshore activities.
Scientists, professionals and practitioners from across the globe have been working on solutions that may be feasible and successful in the (near) future, like in the EU’s Green Deal. However, there must be many other opportunities out there. We are looking for students who can turn problems into opportunities by being creative and thinking outside the box, coming up with bold and innovative solutions that can be turned into business propositions, which in turn may form the basis for new business models.
That is why we are organizing a challenging competition, and we invite you to participate.
