Industry 4.0 machine upgrading KU Leuven
Many production companies still use industrial machines or installations that are several decades old. These industrial systems are not being replaced because they are not yet at the end of their (mechanical) life but do not meet the current need for functionalities and energy efficiency within the Industrie4.0 paradigm. By upgrading older industrial systems in a cost-effective manner with sensors, actuators, controllers and computing power, ...
Essays on economics of automobile industry KU Leuven
This dissertation studies different topics in the field of Industrial Organization. Each of the three chapters in this thesis constitute a separate research papers. All the three chapters provide empirical analysis of automobile industry, primarily focusing on the European countries.These three chapters are not only connected through Empirical Industrial Organization literature, but also through the motive to contribute to evaluation of ...
Me2 Industry (Microkinetic Engine) Ghent University
Enable interaction between in-house developed, valorizable software for chemical REACTION kinetics (microKinetic Engine - μKE) and commercial, industrially used software in the field of chemical REACTOR and PROCESS technology. The intended goal is to enable rapid adaptation of the in-house developed software within the chemical industry. Final commercialization is done through the granting of licenses to the software.
New dynamics for the compost industry due to synergy between green energy and high quality compost Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
How can the compost industry optimally apply the available biomass resources for producing green energy and high quality soil improvers? Can we set standardized quality requirements for both end products, being biomass streams and compost? What innovations in composting (adapted composting process in case of lower amounts of bulking agent) are feasible, and what are the possibilities for ...

Government Ownership and Competition: Empirical evidence from the European Airline Industry following the COVID-19-Pandemic KU Leuven
This project aims to empirically assess the impact of government ownership on competition. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent governmental equity interventions in the European airline industry provide for a particularly ideal setting to investigate this topic, and this for several reasons. First, airline markets and competition therein are well-defined and well-understood. Second, European countries offered rescue packages differing in size ...
