European research at TEDx
The EUREKA BLUETECH project was presented in June at the TEDxBinnenhof, an independently organised TED event featuring ten inspiring talks on ground-breaking ideas from the Netherlands.
TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) events, created in 1990 in Monterey, California are now famous worldwide. The yearly conferences in the Silicon Valley have become a farm for local “Tedx events” scattered in all the world. Tedx events remain reference conferences, still formed to disseminate “ideas worth spreading” in a specific way. Each speaker, selectively chosen, has to be interesting, and has to explain and share what he has to tell within less than 18 minutes.
The talk was given by Allard van Hoeken, Manager New Energy at Bluewater Energy Services, the leading participant of the EUREKA BLUETECH project. Van Hoeken explained to the assistance the potential of tidal waves as a reliable source of energy that can be tapped thanks to the floating sructures developed by his company and two Italian partners during the project.
INSPIRE. Before making a video, giving a talk, or training for a press conference : look at TED and TEDx conferences : in terms of dissemination, they are just the best speakers who talk about research and innovation you can see in videos.
