2022

This edition was dedicated to fostering innovation across three key pillars:

Digital transformation Where we looked for technology-driven solutions capable of improving internal processes and enabling next-generation factory solutions, knowledge-base tools, IT for retail, and data visualization.

Customer centric solutions Focused on placing the customer at the center of everything we do by enhancing customer experience through initiatives such as loyalty and marketing automation, secure payments, carbon footprint awareness, and access to healthy and affordable food.

Sustainability & energy transition Focused on developing new, responsible business models and exploring how organizations can continuously evolve toward a greener future, through initiatives such as blue economy, carbon credits, circular economy approaches and sustainable mobility.

The pilot

Nicoustic is a Norwegian start-up that has developed a highly accurate, non-intrusive sensor technology for measuring levels in tanks and reservoirs, based on guided ultrasonic waves that enable the detection of both solid and liquid levels, with emulsion interface and foam layer measurement currently under development. The pilot validated this technology through installation on a glycerin–fat decanter under real operating conditions, assessing sensor performance and reliability without process interference or shutdowns, and demonstrating its potential to enhance process monitoring, operational efficiency, and safety in industrial separation systems.

The pilot

HSL Technologies (SAS HySiLabs) is a French deeptech company developing HydroSil, a patented liquid carrier technology that enables scalable, low-carbon hydrogen logistics while generating low-carbon silica. Together with PRIO and PRF, HySiLabs demonstrated a liquid-based hydrogen refueling solution, validating a safer alternative to conventional hydrogen storage. The pilot enabled easier handling, transport, and on-site storage, laying the foundation for scalable hydrogen refueling infrastructure for mobility and industrial applications.
