The Hague, South Holland, Nl

Accelerating ocean/marine energy (tidal, wave, salinity gradients, ocean thermal energy conversion) as well as offshore floating solar and wind for the energy transition. Doing so we help these companies across a wide TRL range (3-8) to mature faster and more sustainably.Main tasks: Managing the current project portfolio (8 EU-projects with 6 of them running), while defining new projects to support the sector. Project Management of two projects.

The Hague, South Holland, Nl

Main tasks: Grant applications, project management, technical/scientific advice

Using algae biotechnology and nanomaterials for a device to improve the indoor air environment in offices as well as homes and fixate atmospheric carbon dioxide (clean technology). Output: Assembling and leading an inter-disciplinary team of four. Together we (1) validated the market, (2) modelled our system, (3) built a prototype, and made our (4) pitch deck, (5) financial budgeting as well (6) business model/plan.
