Funding for improved working conditions in the Danish Fur Industry

Innovayt has helped the Danish company Pamutec A/S with the preparation of the  “Auto Care” project proposal,  which was submitted to The Danish Prevention Fund and subsequently approved for funding.

The Auto Care project involves two Danish partners and aims at developing a fully automated process for the handling of mink pelts. The new system will eliminate the use of sawdust and thereby remove a source of major inconvenience to employees working with mink pelts. Simultaneously, the automated process will eliminate monotonous and repeated work associated with current manual methods. The main developments will be new robotics and the development of a closed cleaning process.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability joins forces with Innovayt

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability, located in Hørsholm north of Copenhagen, has signed up Innovayt to assist the Center in optimising its work with external funding applications and collaborative research projects.

As the first activities under the iGenerator cooperation, Innovayt has performed an extensive Grant Scan covering the Center’s 6 research sections.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability holds state-of-the-art research expertise, unifying the technological and scientific bioengineering expertise required to develop new cell factories for the manufacture of valuable chemicals in a sustainable way. The center is organized in 6 research sections and a Core Flow which aims at platform strain and technology development purposes. The Center has strong collaborative ties to leading research environments in Europe: the Department of Systems Biology, DTU, the Department of Plant Biology and Biotechnology, University of Copenhagen, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Innovayt assists consortium with successful project for the EU’s AAL programme

Innovayt has successfully assisted an international consortium -  including the Danish SME Tisturion, HandyWear, and Aarhus Engineering School (IHA) - with an EU application for the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) programme. The e-Stocking project involves 10 Partners from 4 countries (DK, FI, UK and CH) and targets the development of a new generation of smart ICT-enabled compression stocking solutions to help elderly people with leg venous problems. The key features of the novel e-stockings are user-friendly application and operation, compliance with individual clinical needs, enhanced mobility to the patients, and appealing design. The innovative ICT-based concept relies on electronic sensors, actuators and supporting computational elements embedded in e-textiles with wireless connectivity.

Frants Christensen from Tisturion is very pleased with the end result and concludes, “It would not have been possible for us to get this result without the help from Innovayt. The process towards this has been very positive”.

The AAL programme will provide funding of around 1.2 million Euro to the consortium. For further information, contact Pedro Guimarães.

Strategic collaboration between Innovayt and DBI to increase FP7 funding

Innovayt has signed an i-Generator agreement with DBI (The Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology) with the aim of increasing their involvement and success in FP7. DBI is currently involved in one large FP7 project. The main goal of the framework contract with Innovayt  is to increase the number of EU projects in the longer term, so that each year two new EU contracts are signed with the involvement of DBI as partner or coordinator. Innovayt will assist DBI’s Research and Development Department in validating project ideas for the different FP7 programmes, in providing access to strong consortia and topics of interest to DBI and help with the proposal preparation.

Two new Innovaytors

Innovayt is very pleased to announce two staff additions, which should both broaden and deepen our ability to service clients and further develop our business.

Débora Ferreira is 27 years old and holds a PhD in Bioengineering Systems from the MITPortugal programme. Débora’s main research interests are related to micro and nanotechnologies for Biomedical Applications – and more specifically on-chip fluorescence microbiosensors for detecting early stage cancer.

Reinaldo Ramos is 32 years old and holds a PhD from the University of Minho in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. Before joining Innovayt, Reinaldo conducted research in the use of novel biomaterials for wound healing.

Débora and Reinaldo will be involved in the development of innovation projects and preparation of project proposals.

Copenhagen Business School signs up Innovayt

Innovayt has been engaged by Copenhagen Business School  to help raise the quality and success rates of EU applications submitted by CBS for the EU’s 7th Framework Programme for research. In recent years, CBS has increased its efforts and success in securing funding from the 7th Framework Programme, and is highly active in a number of areas. Among other things, CBS has been successful in securing funds from the newly established European Research Council, and is looking to gain further recognition and funding for its researchers through the ERC.  Under the new framework contract between CBS and Innovayt, Innovayt will assist the university in optimising the quality of the EU applications submitted, with a focus on application review, funding intelligence, and training. The cooperation will run with the CBS Dean’s Secretariat, which is in charge of all EU application support within Copenhagen Business School.
