The transition from traditional centralized electricity systems toward highly distributed, hybrid AC/DC smart grids is driving a major wave of innovation in grid technologies.
We ran open innovation challenges for two major energy clients:
→ TenneT TSO (Germany) — needed new business models for small-scale PV aggregators behaving in a grid-friendly way
→ QRDI & KAHRAMAA (Qatar) — needed grid stability solutions for a national EV charging expansion
New solutions are being identified to help utilities adapt to a more distributed energy future.

It's not "which AI tool should we use?" but rather "what can AI actually not do, and who owns that part?"
When you remove the human too early, AI doesn't just underperform. It confidently leads you in the wrong direction.
Here are 5 capabilities that still need a human at the center of every innovation process, no matter how good the models get.

NineSigma is seeking, on behalf of a major chemical manufacturer, technologies that enable the aqueous dispersion and industrial-scale production of high-acrylonitrile-content acrylic polymers. The target materials are copolymers of acrylonitrile (AN) and acrylic acid salts, and the client is seeking technologies capable of producing high-AN-content polymers as stable aqueous dispersions.
