Withthegrid provides an end-to-end IoT solution for remote cathodic protection monitoring. It combines easy-to-install sensors with a secure platform to automate data collection, detect anomalies, and enable predictive maintenance. This digitizes asset management, extending pipeline lifespan while reducing manual inspections.
Empit
EMPIT is a global deep-tech company specializing in inspection and mapping of buried, unpiggable pipelines. Founded in Berlin in 2015, it pioneered Current Magnetometry Inspection (CMI), delivering AI-driven, real-time data for precise 3D mapping, corrosion assessment, and safer, sustainable operations.
Port of Rotterdam
Connecting the world. Building Tomorrow's sustainable port.
Rotterdam is Europe's largest seaport, recognized for its high-quality infrastructure, its endless ambition and focus on innovation. The Rotterdam port area covers more than 12,500 hectares and has almost 90 kilometres of quays.
Pegasus Events
Pegasus Events, based in Rotterdam, has been a full-service event agency for the corporate market for over 22 years, providing team-building activities, client events, corporate trips and staff gatherings. Each program is tailor-made and aligned with the client’s organizational objectives.
Elsyca
Elsyca provides advanced electrochemical simulation and digital twin technology for pipeline networks, helping operators protect infrastructure and optimize performance. Solutions cover cathodic protection, AC interference, and maintenance planning, enabling effective mitigation that reduces corrosion, minimizes risks, and extends asset life.
