KVK Innovation Top 100

KVK Innovation Top 100 – PHYSEE is the winner

PHYSEE in Delft with Smartskin, a glass façade with integrated solar cells and sensors, wins the 14th edition of the KVK Innovation Top 100. This is why Grace Copplestone, Supply Chain Manager at PHYSEE, together with KVK sounds the gong.

About KVK Innovation Top 100

KVK publishes this ranking annually with 100 innovations in Dutch small and medium-sized businesses. The winner can call himself the most innovative SME company in the country for a year.

All innovations have been assessed for their impact on the industry and society, originality, availability, realized turnover and growth potential. There is no cash prize attached to the KVK Innovation Top 100. The ranking gives a good picture of the innovative power of SMEs at the moment. North and South Holland are represented the best with 22 companies, followed by Gelderland with 14 companies. After the IT sector, most innovations came from the creative industry and construction sectors. The announcement of the 14th Chamber of Commerce Innovation Top 100 took place in the Amsterdome in Amsterdam.

About PHYSEE

Where the glass industry was not interested at first, glass producers are now starting to show more and more interest. From a small start-up, PHYSEE has now become a scale-up with more than 30 employees from 10 countries. The first international assignments are now starting to come in. TU Delft is a shareholder and partner in this company. The jury was unanimous: "It is seen as a breakthrough technology for the world. Every architect can apply it this way. PHYSEE stands for a future in which buildings become energy positive without compromising on the aesthetics of the facades. That makes this company a justified winner. "

PHYSEE's patented invention consists of solar cells in the glass that generate electricity and sensors that make the glass smart. The solar cells ensure that there is always green energy in the facade. The sensors measure environmental data such as temperature, light and air quality and use this information to cool, heat and illuminate buildings in a more energy-efficient way. Thus, buildings become 25% more energy efficient and comfortable.

Aad van Hall, the son of Resistance Banker Walraven van Hall will perform the Gong ceremony.

About Gijs and Wally

With his brother Gijs, ‘Wally’ secretly collected an amount equal to half a billion Euros during the Germany occupation. This money was distributed amongst 150.000 persons by men and women on bikes.

Those in need were, among others, families whose husbands were at sea when the Nazi’s occupied the Netherlands and who decided to sail for the Allies. The Nazi’s stopped the payments to their families. Money was also distributed to families who were hiding Jews or of men who refused to go to work in German war industry. And they supported 30.000 families of the railroad workers who went on strike from September 1944 to the end of the occupation in May 1945. Railroad workers went on strike on 17 September 1944, 75 years ago tomorrow.

Cyber Weerbaarheidscentrum Brainport

On the occasion of the opening of the Cyber Resilience Center Brainport (CWB), director Alexis Barron will sound the gong.

About CWB

The CWB is located on the Brainport Industries Campus in Eindhoven. In the center, companies from the high-tech industry work together to be more resilient to cyber-attacks.

It is possible for companies from this sector to join the CWB whereby the companies can also benefit from each other's experiences and solutions in order to become more resilient to digital espionage and sabotage.

Twenty-two companies are already connected from the start. This number will rise to fifty at the end of this year and will grow to more than one hundred and fifty in 2020. Threat information is shared and the CWB is connected to the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC), part of the Ministry of Justice and Security, and to the Digital Trust Center, part of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate (EZK).

The high-tech sector is the first non-vital sector in the Netherlands that is allowed to receive and process this type of closed information via the CWB. The support from both ministries is of great value.

IMC Weekendschool Basis

IMC Weekendschool Basis Starts off the new school year

To start off the new school year, several pupils of the IMC Basis programme sound the gong.

About IMC Basis

IMC Basis is an educational program at primary schools, developed by Stichting IMC Weekendschool. At a growing number of primary schools throughout the Netherlands, in underprivileged areas, students of grades seven and eight (ages 9 to 11) get the chance to acquire the skills, knowledge and motivation that they need to develop to the fullest of their capabilities, to grow beyond their limits, and learn to make motivated choices for their future. The students participate in IMC Basis weekly for three hours, over two years, during school hours. Professionals (volunteers) introduce students to a wide range of topics, including journalism, law, medicine, entrepreneurship and IT.

We envision that within ten years IMC Basis education is an accepted and integrated part of the Dutch school system. Already, IMC Basis has scaled up from six to thirty-four locations in the Netherlands in the last couple of years. In the coming years the program will prepare for scaling up to 50 IMC Basis schools, and to then continue scaling up on the basis of field-findings, research outcomes, and continuing conversations with educational policy makers.

IMC Weekendschool was founded in 1998 with support of IMC Financial Markets & Asset Management.
