Innovation - the adventure
avantsmart is a trail blazer for new technologies that are currently under research and development, but still need a few more years to reach marketability.
Along with research and development projects, trend scouting and trend-setting studies are also part of our portfolio. The issues revolve around new business models, smart services, new technologies such as artificial intelligence and 5G – and the relevance thereof for the sustainable transformation of the energy system.

Smart Business Models for Industry (SBMI)
Statement of the problem
New, cooperative business models can contribute to reaching climate and energy goals. But exactly how do these models work when diverse players such as commercial and industrial enterprises, municipal utilities and start-ups are suddenly working towards a common entrepreneurial objective?
Methods
In this project, avantsmart collaborates with industrial and research partners and with municipal utilities to develop ideas for innovative business models. Both digital technologies and cross-border cooperative thinking play a crucial role in this process.
Results
This project is part of the New Energy for Industry NEFI flagship region. The results will be published in August 2020, after the scheduled end of the project.
