Creapaper is revolutionising the paper and packaging industry with grass paper. The multi-award-winning SME from Hennef has developed a novel, purely mechanical process to obtain a fibre for paper production from grass. The ecological balance is many times better compared to paper production from wood. During production, the consumption of energy and water ...

is reduced by more than 90%, and in contrast to pulp production from wood, grass can even do without chemicals altogether. In addition, the process and short transport distances save about 75% of CO2 emissions compared to wood pulp. More than 20 paper mills in Germany, the Netherlands and Italy are already supplied by Creapaper with the ecologically and economically sensible raw material. Companies from the food sector in particular use packaging with grass content across the board, such as Coca-Cola, REWE, EDEKA, ALDI, Lidl and Penny.

the time of day and weather. On the one hand, this leads to an overload of the power grids and on the other hand, the electricity is not available as desired. Therefore, a highly flexible system is needed to compensate for these fluctuations and to ensure a secure energy network with a power supply that meets demand. Previous battery storage systems provide this flexibility, but are still too expensive compared to proven methods. With HiVOLT, TESVOLT has developed a new type of battery system based on high-voltage technology that offers significant cost and efficiency advantages over conventional systems. Savings are achieved, among other things, by eliminating transformers and reducing system costs through lower currents. This makes this high-voltage lithium storage system highly economical and has the potential to revolutionize the storage market.

There is a significant problem in the development of intelligent technologies such as autonomous vehicles or drones, because hardware development is far ahead of software development. Although the necessary powerful hardware - especially multi-core processors - is already available, there is a great need to catch up in the programming of software, which is supposed to run on hardware platforms with increasingly complex and heterogeneous components. Since there is no tool that can simulate the entire functionality of such platforms, system overloads and instability often occur. Silexica is developing the solution: SLX is the first programming tool with full system simulation capabilities and is designed to ...

provide unprecedented system information about the behavior of multiple applications running simultaneously on complex hardware platforms in an automated process. This enables the automation of tasks in addition to the optimal use of existing hardware and computing power. These tasks, which take several months even with the most modern methods, can now be completed in a few hours. This makes SLX ideal for a wide range of applications in the automotive, embedded vision, and aviation and defense markets.
