When a 45-year-old Schneider Electric factory was recognized by the World Economic Forum as a Sustainability Lighthouse in 2018, it made a compelling case for the power of data to drive sustainability outcomes. In this episode, we explore digitizing brownfield factories to make them more efficient.     In this Intelligent Industry season of Technology Pioneers I talk with Sander van Dasselaar, VP...

Climate change is real, and the time for action is now. Listen in as we explore how Eneco, an international energy company committed to accelerating the energy transition, aims to set the pace for the entire energy sector and become climate neutral by 2035.    In this Intelligent Industry season of Technology Pioneers I talk with Dick Velings, Managing Director B2B Business, Eneco The future of yo...

RESEARCH (in capitals) compared to innovation. Together with Rodrigo Maia (Global head of research and innovation at Capgemini Engineering) I explore the differences of research and innovation and how they need each other. Engineering is added to this mix and we dive into Quantum computing, potential QPU's (Quantum version of the GPU) and we take a small spin into the world of ChatGPT and the...

Do you want to be energy self-sufficient? With current soaring energy prices it may be interesting. I talk with Thierry Batut (Capgemini’s CTO on smart utilities) on the topic of smart energy grids. A 100 year experience in building energy grids and power plants needs to be changed to an agile market with multi-directional energy flows. The only way to keep the grid balanced is to make it smarter....

Lasers are cool and sparked the interest for Professor Martijn Heck to pursue a career in Photonic integration. Join us in this conversation that explains how photonic computing is added to our existing processors, transition from optical to electrical and transportation of data with lasers. Martijn tells us a fascinating story on how small laser and its optical components can be made to live in t...

If one action could reduce CO2 emissions by 7.5 gigatons (Gt) in the next 10 years (about 17% of all CO2 emitted in 2020) and generate economic benefits of US$1.3 trillion, shouldn’t we seize it with both hands? This is the summary of the report written by Dassault Systèmes. In this podcast together with sustainability experts Dragos Dascalu, Severine Trouillet and Eduard Eijkman we take a lo...

During the innovation day we got to speak with attendants and speakers. Anna Gimbrère (Science Communicator and Journalist) opened with a keynote and inspired participants with her vision on tech and sustainability. Anna shedded a different light on the climate change theme: “We do not have a climate problem; we have a waste problem” . Anna closed with an open question to all:  “How...

Integrating Systems is the title of the 20th symposium op TNO ESI. During the symposium we recorded visitor reactions and insights from speakers.

At the location of TNO we speak with Dimitri Hehanussa (as senior business consultant responsible for the portfolio of trusted ICT) on a variety of topics related to Cybersecurity. The cybersecurity domain is big. In this podcast we touch on defence and quantum computing but also nuclear power plants and modelling behaviour of potential attackers. This podcast gives you some insights in how TNO an...

In this first episode of the Technology Pioneers podcast I am at the Bits&Chips event in Eindhoven. The topic of this day is "challenges in complex software engineering". Different tracks discussing system behaviour, the engineering environment, cybersecurity and software rejuvenation make up for an interesting day. The technology pioneers today are the visitors and speakers this event. The li...
