Release of the WhisperPower Solarboat video!
At the Innovatiecluster Drachten (ICD), high-tech companies are working intensively together on tomorrow's technology. A great example of this is the WhisperPower Solarboat, a sustainable vessel powered entirely by solar energy. In this just-released video, you can see how ICD companies are jointly contributing to the development of this innovative boat by the WhisperPower Solar team. And this team doesn't just have a goal. Its goal is, in fact: to become World Champions!
More than a technical feat
The WhisperPower Solarboat is more than an engineering feat: it is a model of collaboration, innovation and sustainability. The video shows how multiple companies within the ICD play a vital role in the design, propulsion and technology aboard the solar boat. Think advanced electronics, smart control techniques and sustainable energy solutions coming together in one groundbreaking project.
The solar boat will be used for education, research and awareness about clean mobility. With this development, the ICD partners are actively contributing to the energy transition and maritime innovation of the future.
ICD companies involved
Wondering which ICD companies are involved? These are besides of course WhisperPower, YP Your Partner, Demcon, Bilfinger (formerly Stork) and Binder 3D. The collaboration within this project shows how beautifully such a collective as the ICD can work, as a driver of technological progress and sustainability.
