Platform for radical innovation

I am proud to present to you the first issue of TU Delft Pioneering Tech, the successor to Home of Innovation

This exciting new magazine is part of a multimedia platform where, among other things, you can listen to a podcast series on striking projects set up by our pioneers for change

This number focuses on the protein transition or switch to greater consumption of sustainable vegetable proteins –also known as ‘meat substitutes’ and ‘cultured meat’ in the vernacular. With partners such as DSM and Planet B.io and highly promising start-ups like Meatable, the Delft region is well positioned to take the international lead in upscaling the requisite technology.

The article in question also explains how the protein transition can help solve the nitrogen crisis, the energy transition and other social challenges. Everything that TU Delft stands for comes together in this topic: excellent teaching, groundbreaking research, radical innovation and impact for a better society

In the meantime, the war in Ukraine and other geopolitical developments are forcing us to reflect on our strategic autonomy. We, as TU Delft, can contribute to a more selfsufficient Europe – with David Peck’s research into critical materials and circular design, for example. Other articles include an interview with the CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, Allard Castelein, on the digitalisation and greening of the port and an overview of the most important scientific trends in this field.

As you can see, even though Pioneering Tech has a brand new magazine formula, name and layout, it still offers the content you expect and are used to from us: the very latest innovative developments and trends.
