Test before investing activities help public organizations and small-medium enterprises (SMEs) gain valuable insights about a new product or service, before making significant investments. Through these activities users can test and evaluate their products or services in realistic conditions, identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions regarding their investment. DiGiNN will provide access to digital transformation expertise, know-how and services, including testing and experimentation facilities.
Research Infrastructure & Testing Facilities
Our test before investing facilities and testing environments allow you to experiment, check and assess with new digital technologies and solutions before deciding to develop them further. You do not have to be able to use these facilities by yourselves. The DiGiNN team will be there to guide and assist you throughout the process. DiGiNN offers the following research infrastructure and testing facilities.
Power Systems
The KIOS Power Systems research infrastructure provides the opportunity for testing and validating methodologies, tools, and technologies to optimize power systems operation and increase the penetration of renewable energy sources, thus contributing to the reduction greenhouse gas emissions.
