Europe – In 2023 we are going on the road again. Industrielinqs and Voltachem will visit several industrial electrification projects in Europe. And they are looking for company. For that, teams with young professionals or students can participate in a scenario competition. The finals will be on November 29th, 2022 during EIES2022. And the winners will join the Electro Trail Europe!

Electrification and electrochemistry are important developments that accelerate the transition of industry. But what are the promising technologies and new chains? During the Electro Trail Europe (ELECTE) in 2023 Industrieinqs and Voltachem want to find out what is the state of the art. By visiting various projects in Europe. ELECTE is the successor to HYTE.

And they also want to take a look into the future. Therefore young professionals and students are invited join a scenario competition and form teams of up to three. Teams are asked to write a white paper;  an investment proposal to be more precise.  
The teams have to choose the most promising route or technology in the field of electrification and electrochemistry for the next twelve years (before 2035).
