Scientists at iNANO, Aarhus University, are collaborating with Carlsberg, Microsoft and DTU on a research study with the purpose of measuring and sensing flavours and aromas in beer. The project aims at establishing a sensor platform that reduces time and cost to develop new beers with diverse flavours based on the most advanced services and software within arti?cial intelligence. The development of a sensor platform can hold enormous potential for broader research and facilitate new start-ups, as a sensor platform to distinguish flavours and aromas does not exist today. Innovation Fund Denmark is investing DKK 18 million in the project.

Better magnets can help store renewable energy from solar cells and wind turbines in magnetic flywheels. The new technology for energy storage could help remove one of the really big obstacles to further distribution of renewable energy. Innovation Fund Denmark is investing DKK 12 million in the project.
