Program
Feel like an inspiring conversation? An opportunity for new collaborations? Or just a stimulating encounter with a good glass of wine? Join us at the Eindhoven Innovation Café. The spot where people from the arts, design, research and technology interact. We are aiming for a weekly program full of inspiring pitches, expert talks, discussions as well as workshops, lasting up to half an hour parallel to the drinks. English spoken. Of course.

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ #43
17:30 – 19:30 pm Drinks, bites and talks
17:45 – 18:15 pm Lennart Graaff (BLOC, Dutch Mountains)
The Eindhoven rail zone and the “Dutch Mountains” are in development. The city of Eindhoven has far reaching ambitions for this area in terms of climate adaptation, energy transition, circularity, smart mobility and healthy urbanisation. High tech and high touch, while taking into account bio based materials and low CO2 emissions, new values and new business models. This is not a building, this is an innovation programme. And you are invited to join!
Lennart Graaff is founding partner of BLOC, a next generation development company based in Rotterdam. BLOC has developed several radical projects such as The Dutch Windwheel and a CO2 Smart Grid. Together with Studio Marco Vermeulen and Urban Xchange, BLOC is co-developer of The Dutch Mountains, a biobased skyscraper to be developed in the city of Eindhoven.

“Sustainable energy for a sustainable future”. About 600 million people in Africa still lack access to electricity (World Bank 2016). Today, polluting fossil fuels (oil, coal & natural gas) provide about 80% of the world’s primary energy. With the growing energy demand, fossil fuels are depleting and the integration of sustainable energy sources to our conventional energy systems is inevitable. The usage of fossil fuels leads to global warming and climate change. Developing countries are more vulnerable to climate change because of their lack of financial and structural means to quickly adapt to these abrupt changes. Clean and sustainable energy could lead to smooth energy transition and might open up new possibilities to achieve higher development and living standards.
The aim of this event is to provide an open dialogue and knowledge-sharing platform for sustainable energy transition geared towards developing countries. The event “Sustainable Energy for Developing Countries” will allow participants to gain a better understanding of how the energy transition is being shaped in developing countries, and what kind of obstacles are preventing its smooth implementation.
The event format consists of 3 talks in the duration of 20 minutes each from 3 eminent speakers on one topic. After the speaker talks, there will be 2 presentations of “Integrated Project of the Year” in the duration of 5-8 minutes each from the InnoEnergy Master students, who performed their research projects in developing countries.
Registration is preferred for this event. Please reserve a seat via this link!
