The Strategic Innovation Initiative CONTRIBUTE (IIS Platform CONTRIBUTE)
The IIS answers a series of technical, economic and societal challenges in the fields of mobility, transport and associated energies (conversion, storage, distribution), security and system control. This IIS brings together several ecosystems that have rarely collaborated before, despite the proximity and complementarity of some of their interests and skills: the rail, automotive, aeronautical,, energy, drone, space and security ecosystems. The ambition is to cover the entire value chain from research, development and manufacturing to the implementation and operation of products and services. CONTRIBUTE aims above all to ensure the sustainability and excellence of the Walloon transport and energy industry.
