Although we haven't had load shedding in more than 60 days, a student’s frustration to mitigate load shedding while living in residences resulted in her developing a Venetian blind that doubles as a solar panel. Built for tenants and those living in sectional title properties, it's the perfect solution where they can't install solar panels. It's a non-invasive solution that is easy to install, clean and can you can also take it with you when you vacate the premises! Built by Lisa Von Benecke, the founder of LC Dynamics, a clean-tech company that improves green energy access through tech products and data-driven systems. She was a national finalist in L'Oréal South Africa’s Brandstorm 2021 innovation competition. In 2019, she was among the 100 delegates that the Royal Academy of Engineering invited to the 4th Global Grand Challenges Summit in London.

« What Wallonia has done in #biotech in 20 years, we're going to duplicate in #cleantech » says Fabrice BRION, CEO of I-care Group, one of the flagships of the Southern Belgium new industry 🇧🇪 . « But we no longer have the time to wait 20 years to become a global leader in this field. So we're going to do it in ten years. That's the challenge, and Wallonia has the assets to succeed. It has already attracted players like Holcim and Heidelberg Materials, who are investing over €1 billion in their cement plants to make them the first carbon-free plants in their group. » In January 2024, the Government of the Walloon Region announced the final selection of projects to be co-financed by Europe and the Walloon Region under the Just Transition Fund: this decision opens the door to the first concrete achievements of the future District-Cleantech ecosystem in Belgium 🇧🇪 . « Creating tomorrow's industry on the ruins of yesterday's » is the credo of the District Cleantech project, which is being developed on some forty hectares of the former Carsid site in #Charleroi, one of the two industrial hubs of Wallonia. It will focus on three areas (energy transition, sustainable construction and circularity), which will include companies of all sizes, incubating start-ups, research centres and training. ‘The ambition is to create an entire ecosystem,’ explained Marc Van Den Neste, director of the District Cleantech, and Past CTO AGC Glass Europe during the last CleanTech seminar in London 🇬🇧 with Cambridge Cleantech, GreenWin. 56 companies have already joined us in this ambition, including some very large ones such as Carmeuse and AGC Group. 24 projects have been selected for our region, and the total value of the approved projects amounts to €101 million. 40 hectares of industrial wasteland will be converted into a production park on the "Porte Ouest" site, where 17,400 m² of former industrial buildings will be renovated. Completion is scheduled before the end of 2029. The Cleantech ecosystem to be created, an economic and innovation hub to accelerate the transition of businesses in Charleroi Metropole, will be an incubation, innovation and training platform focusing on the energy transition, sustainable renovation and the circularity of materials. It will be open to businesses, start-ups, research centres and training providers. The collaboration with our british partners in the climate transition become crucial.
