Demcon is publishing its Creating Shared Value annual overview 2023 with concrete initiatives and figures.

Today a decentralized electrolyser was unveiled at Groningen Airport Eelde (GAE). A demonstration model to produce, after upscaling, green hydrogen as emission-free fuel for light aircraft, drones and ground equipment at the airport in the future. This afternoon, under the watchful eye of 80 attendees, Marieke Abbink (director of New Energy Coalition) unveiled the electrolyser, a co-production of Northern producers and researchers.

Demcon for the first time publishes a Creating Shared Value annual overview with specific initiatives and statistics. This way the company accounts for its efforts in support of having social impact, and sustainability in projects and in its own business operations. This is part of its DNA focused on solving complex issues of a technological and social nature. But to measure is to know. Last year a lot of energy was therefore invested in making its social impact and sustainability performance measurable and in creating quantitative insight.

With the launch of Demcon data driven solutions on Jan. 1, 2023, technology developer and producer Demcon is taking the next step in its ambition to develop as a technology partner in the field of data science challenges. Since digital transformation is becoming more and more complex, there is a greater demand for data as a product or service. Examples include the development of an autonomous inspection camera for pipelines and algorithms capable of detecting when a patient in ICU starts breathing on their own. What began as an exploratory mission has now grown into a company with full-fledged data solutions.
