STRATAGEM participated in the Kick off Meeting of ROBINSON project, funded by European Commission under Horizon2020 Innovation Programme (GA957752) which was held virtually on the 13th and 14th of October 2020.  ROBINSON is coordinated by the European Turbine Network (ETN), and the consortium gathers local stakeholders from three islands, technology providers including SMEs, Universities and RTOs as well as experts on business, islands ecosystems, cybersecurity and social matters.

During the meeting, the Project officer honored the consortium with his presence and gave a small presentation about INEA, its focus and the anticipation from the project. Each member of the consortium gave a short presentation regarding the organization each represents as well as the Objectives, the whole Work Plan and the Activities planned for the first year. Additionally, more information on the measures to succeed as successful implementation and the Technical work was presented during the second day from the Coordinator and Technical Partners.

ROBINSON Project will optimize the utilization of local renewable resources by deploying an integrated, smart and costefficient energy system coupling thermal and electrical networks, demonstrated in industrial environment on the Eigerøy island, Norway. The ambition of ROBINSON is to decrease the energy production costs, reduce dependence on mainland power and phase out fossil fuels currently used by the demo island’s industries in a relatively short term, thus significantly contribute to island’s decarbonization. The project will encourage business opportunities for local communities and, by creating new value chains, open up markets for the developed technologies having a positive impact on EU’s competitiveness in low carbon economy.

STRATAGEM’s role is to lead tasks relevant to Innovation Management, Business Planning and Business modeling providing meaningful input and adding value to the Project, in order to succeed in fulfilling its purpose and make a real impact!
