- De energietransitie zet ons elektriciteitsnet steeds meer onder druk. Om die uitdaging aan te pakken, moeten we niet alleen investeren in nieuwe infrastructuur, maar ook slimmer omgaan met de capaciteit die vandaag al beschikbaar is. ⚡ Orion Grid Technologies, een spin-off van VITO, KU Leuven en EnergyVille, ontwikkelt software die data van onder meer slimme meters omzet in bruikbare inzichten voor distributienetbeheerders. Samen met Fluvius ontwikkelde Orion technologie die in kaart brengt hoe woningen met het laagspanningsnet
- At Orion Grid Technologies, we firmly believe - and apparently we're not alone 😁 - that the most complex grid challenges aren't solved in isolation, but through community. Navigating the energy transition requires collaboration just as much as it requires technology. 💡There's an immense power in bringing like-minded DSOs together in an informal setting. We hosted peer-to-peer exchanges between both existing customers and new faces on real-world obstacles and practical solutions. That's how we kept the momentum after intensive
- Van Thor Park Business onderzoeker naar ondernemer! Onze CEO Koen Vanthournout maakte de snelste carrièreswitch ooit, geografisch dan toch 😃. Wat begon als jarenlang onderzoek bij VITO en EnergyVille op diezelfde campus, groeide uit tot Orion Grid Technologies; en paar honderd meter verderop in IncubaThor. Zelfde plek, andere rol met een missie: Europese netbeheerders ondersteunen in hun rol binnen de energietransitie en het laagspanningsnet futureproof maken! 💥Fijn om te zien hoe Stad Genk dat verhaal blijft omarmen en investeren
