EirBlade at National Challenge Showcase

Research Ireland’s National Challenge Showcase was held in Dublin’s iconic Croke Park on April 30th

The EirBlade project - delivering data-driven solutions to unlock blade repurposing - is one of the National Challenge projects selected for the final phase of the Challenge, fending off stiff competition.

At the showcase, government and industry experts met the Challenge teams. Irish Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless, and Dr. Ruth Freeman of Research Ireland visited the EirBlade stand, pausing to sit on BladeBridge’s beautful blade planter-bench to talk to the team about repurposing wind turbine blades.
