NEC is an initiative by Innovation Norway Singapore, the Research Council of Norway and Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University (ERI@N). The objective of NEC is thus to guide and support existing and “incoming” Norwegian energy companies to these markets through networking, internal collaboration and bridges to existing energy “eco-systems” of companies, institutions and government agencies in Singapore and other hubs in the region. NEC is a membership organization with several Norwegian companies, universities and research institutes on the member list, including Elkem/REC, DNV GL, Nordpool, eSmart Systems, NTNU and University of Oslo.

Its platform is designed to handle Internet of Things, big data and analytics in real time. It gives grid operators insight into the distribution network, it makes it possible to trade energy in a local market, and it can be used to monitor air quality in a city. Common to all applications is large amounts of data from sensors, analysed using models for prediction and optimization. This results in completely new ways to visualize data, make decisions and save resources and costs.
