Econation receives 2013 New Energy Pioneer award

At the annual Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit in New York, Econation, a startup from Ghent, received the 2013 New Energy Pioneer award. Each year this global award is granted to 10 game-changing companies in the field of clean energy technology and innovation. The LightCatcher is a compact, intelligent light dome with the sharpest daylight technology: it enhances and spreads daylight into a building in the most optimal way, all day long.
Imec and Holst Centra launch research program on flexible OLED displays
Holst Centre and imec launch a new research program on next-generation flexible OLED (organic light emitting diode) displays. It builds on their proven technology track record and solid base of existing research partners in related fields such as Organic and Oxide Transistors and Flexible OLED Lighting.
Flamac and imec combine expertise to develop new materials for solar cells
Imec is working together with Flamac, a division of SIM vzw (Strategisch Initiatief Materialen in Vlaanderen or Strategic Initiative Materials in Flanders) to develop novel semiconductor materials for solar cell applications. Within this collaboration novel materials are screened as an alternative for the standard solar cells made of copper indium gallium and selenium (CIGS).
Imec – EU project IMOLA starts R&D on large-area, intelligent OLED lighting
Imec and its project partners announce the launch of IMOLA (Intelligent light Management for OLED on foil Applications), a project under the EU’s 7th framework program for ICT (FP7). The project’s goal is to make large-area OLED-based lighting modules with built-in intelligent light management. These systems will be used in future energy-efficient wall, ceiling and car dome lighting, where the light intensity can be adjusted intelligently, e.g. according to the time of the day or weather conditions.
