CEI has a long-standing practice of supporting the development of innovative projects and, once again, is proud to sponsor initiatives such as Técnico Solar Boat.
Técnico Solar Boat is an academic project carried out by students from IST, brought together by their shared passion for engineering. Their main objective is to take a vessel built by the team to various competitions. This vessel is not just an ordinary boat; it is a solar-powered craft, measuring 6 meters in length and 2.4 meters in width, and operated by a single person.
Recently, they took part in the competition held at the Monaco Solar & Electric Boat Challenge. They have the ambition to continue participating in different international competitions, serving as examples of engineering excellence.
FLEXSTONE - New Technologies for the Competitiveness of Natural Stone

_____
The overall objective of this project was to develop, test, validate, and demonstrate, in a real operating environment, two industrial prototypes of innovative equipment for the Natural Stone sector, continuing the LeanStone strategy already validated through previous IDI consortium projects.
_____
Project Summary
This project aims to strengthen research, technological development, and innovation. The FlexStone Project, led by CEI, involved the development and real-environment demonstration of two fully innovative pieces of equipment for the Natural Stone sector:
Equipment for the customized manufacturing of kitchen countertops;
Multifunctional equipment for a prototype factory in Ornamental Stone.
Building on successfully completed R&D activities, CEI sought to showcase—before a specialized audience of Natural Stone companies, Scientific and Technological System entities, and other synergistic sectors—the economic and technical advantages of the solutions under development, and to move forward with their validation, enabling their subsequent commercial use.
To achieve these objectives, the prototypes were developed by CEI, with support from INOCAM, the company responsible for software development. Real-environment demonstrations were carried out at two companies positioned along the innovation axis: SOLANCIS and TORRE MÁRMORES.
The consortium included two Scientific and Technological System entities—the University of Évora and the Polytechnic Institute of Portalegre—to ensure broad dissemination of results, enhance sectoral and intersectoral demonstration of the prototypes, and provide the necessary competencies to meet the project’s objectives, namely through testing and studies.
