Industrial SectorThe Venturi Tribe is a group of enthusiastic people who are not only passionate about material technologies but even more about the willingness to make these technologies get adopted by the market.
Materials are at the basis of all true technology revolutions and have the biggest impact in the evolution towards a more sustainable way of living. Advanced material developments are:
- Driving us away from fossil fuels as energy source, thereby reducing CO2 emissions
- Replacing materials made out of undegradable molecules by e.g. biodegradable options (plastics, PFOA,…) thereby reducing phenomena like the plastic soup and bioaccumulation
- Improving thermal insulation, reducing weight, … thereby reducing overall energy use
- Increasing lifetime of products by using more durable materials/coatings
Today we focus on the following technology domains: bioplastics, surface technologies, performance materials and technical textiles.
As The Venturi Tribe we believe the way to make it happen and this is by partnering up with technology owners who bear the promise and taking the journey together with them towards successful market adoption.
Our path consists of:
- Building a good understanding of the technology’s differentiating properties
- Identifying applications that could benefit from these properties
- Interviewing experts in these applications to understand the real stakes and drivers for change
- Identifying the right industry players who are willing to lead the way and setting up tests to evaluate the technology in their applications
- Setting up co-development trajectories to translate the technology into a fitting product
The Venturi Tribe is a group of enthusiastic people who are not only passionate about material technologies but even more about the willingness to make these technologies get adopted by the market.
