🚀 We are pleased to announce that Safran has entered into exclusive discussions with Tikehau Capital and the other shareholders to acquire its portfolio company Preligens, a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) for aerospace and defence, for an enterprise value of €220 million. 📌 Founded in 2016 by two French engineers, Preligens provides field-proven AI analytics solutions for high-end imagery, full-motion video and acoustic signals. Based in France and in five countries, including the US, Preligens counts approximately 250 employees, including 140 engineers in research & development, forming one of the largest AI teams specialising in satellite imagery in Europe. 📌 Since Tikehau Capital’s investment in Preligens in November 2020 through its flagship private equity #cybersecurity strategy, Preligens has grown to become a recognised leader in its field. Revenues have increased from €3m to close to €30m, the workforce has expanded and operations have extended to the US and Asia. The investment has also bolstered senior management, with key hires like François Bourrier-Soifer to scale French MoD contracts and Grégoire de Saint-Quentin, former Commander of the French Special Forces. Additionally, the company has recruited Jean-Yves Courtois, as CEO, formally the CEO of Orolia. 💬 Emmanuel LAILLIER, Head of Private Equity at Tikehau Capital and Augustin Blanchard, Executive Director at Tikehau Capital and board member of Preligens said: "This transaction would affirm our leadership in defence investment in Europe: investing in high-growth, innovative companies and guiding them to scale beyond their domestic markets to become market leaders in their fields. Preligens' transformative growth and leadership in AI for aerospace and defence highlight our commitment to strategic investments that create substantial value for our stakeholders, including our underwriters and the dedicated team at Preligens.” Gilles Daguet

❓ How to decarbonize heating and cooling? ❔ CLIMACT is really proud of our study with Resolia on the decarbonization of the production of heat and cold in Brussels which has guided the Task Force Energie 2050 (Bruxelles Environnement - Leefmilieu Brussel, Sibelga, and BRUGEL, le régulateur bruxellois pour l'énergie) in its recent recommandations. Our study indicates that Brussels' path to decarbonization will involve: 🔹 A combination of individual and collective solutions   🔹 Emphasis on detailed, neighborhood-level analysis   🔹 Ensuring affordability and efficiency 📈 Significant investments in technology and infrastructure, particularly in building renovations and the development of low-temperature heat networks, are essential. 🌿 The study highlights several pathways to phase out fossil fuels (mainly natural gas in Brussels) by increasing the use of heat pumps, geothermal energy, aquathermy, and biogas. 👉 Various innovative solutions to harness energy from diverse sources such as air, underground, sewage, incinerators, and even ponds will be tailored to the unique needs of different neighborhoods. This initiative aligns with Brussels' 2050 climate neutrality goal and demonstrates that while the road ahead is challenging, this study provides a clear pathway to a sustainable and resilient energy future for Brussels.

Now, we know why the electrical bus have burnt in Paris. The investigation conclude to 4 reasons: 1️⃣ Bad insulation between cells 2️⃣ BMS (Battery Management System) not reliable 3️⃣ No reliable temperature sensors 4️⃣ Regulation missing Also, JST can really help to solve 2️⃣ and 3️⃣ Be aware of this for the next developments !

https://lnkd.in/efp6YD3d vers interrestkng article (in French) à out engineering in France. I think it is applicable in some other country in Europe. The main question is : how tomorrow can we maintain a high expertise level in our industry knowing we get less and less Engineer ? staying less and less time in our very technical job ?

This is most probably interesting for a large part of my network, i.e. to those who are dedicated to making the energy transition a reality. #PV #GreenJobs #Solar #RenewableEnergy It’s great to see that in some parts of Europe the conditions are still favorable so that motivated people embark on the journey of ramping up large scale PV production. ☀️ How great would it be if that was the case in all of Europe! 🇪🇺 We need the European governments to enable more like this!

Ariane 6 finally took off! Europe is back in the Space launch industry. 🚀 Congratulations to the teams of Thales Alenia Space in Belgium, and the many engineering consultants who have provided their support during the design and qualification phases of the Flight Termination System (NFU) and the Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Subsystem (ECPU). What are NFU and ECPU systems? The NFU is a safety system designed to protect people and property in case something goes wrong during the launch. Here's a simple breakdown: - Purpose: If the rocket deviates from its planned path or if there’s a critical malfunction, the NFU can terminate the flight to prevent it from causing damage on the ground. - How It Works: The system continuously monitors the rocket's performance and trajectory. If it detects a serious issue, it sends a signal to destroy the rocket, ensuring it does not pose a threat to populated areas. The ECPU, also known as the TVAS, is essential for monitoring and controlling the rocket during its mission. Here’s what it does: - Telemetry: Collects data from various sensors on the rocket, such as speed, altitude, and temperature. This data is sent back to ground control to track the rocket's status and performance in real time. - Tracking: Ensures that the rocket’s position is accurately known at all times. Ground stations use this data to keep track of the rocket’s location. - Command: Allows ground control to send commands to the rocket to adjust its course or activate specific systems as needed. #engineers #consultancy #belgium #space #ariane6 #aerospace #newspace #thales
