Company description<br />

Sirris is <strong>the</strong> collective centre of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Belgian</strong> technological industry. We help<br />

to streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>ir competitive position over <strong>the</strong> longterm. Our experts visit<br />

companies on site, offer <strong>the</strong>m technological advice, launch innovation paths,<br />

and provide guidance until <strong>the</strong>y reach <strong>the</strong> implementation phase. It is our aim<br />

major investments be<strong>for</strong>ehand. The labs are accessible to any company,<br />

big or small. In one of our application labs (<strong>the</strong> Offshore Wind Infrastructure<br />

Application Lab or OWI-Lab) we target <strong>the</strong> offshore wind energy sector to<br />

look into shared R&D projects. Next to that we grand access to state-of-<strong>the</strong><br />

art test and monitoring equipment (shared capacity).<br />
