Finalization of SIR market study

We are happy to announce the successful finalization of our market study project focused on the membrane modelling and consultancy sector. Interviewing 30 companies (incl. end-users, membrane manufacturers, EPC contractors, research institutes) showed that there is indeed a growing need for modelling and simulation works on membranes, where 9 out of 30 companies revealed that they planned on allocating budget to membrane technology and outsourcing its modelling in the coming years. Major motivators for doing so were the lack of expertise and in-house data within the companies themselves, generation of supplementary data to support their membrane sales (in case of membrane manufacturers), and expansion of their expertise portfolio (in case of EPC).  

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to this project through their insightful interviews! This research was made possible through the Stimulering van Innovatie in de Regio (SIR) subsidy, by the province of Brabant.
