NineSigma, on behalf of ExxonMobil, is seeking technologies for the localization, characterization, and/or remediation of hydrates blocking offshore assets. Solutions should be applicable to existing infrastructure and support the detection, assessment, and safe removal of hydrate blockages in subsea flowlines, risers, trees, jumpers, dry trees, or wellheads.

The transition from traditional centralized electricity systems toward highly distributed, hybrid AC/DC smart grids is driving a major wave of innovation in grid technologies.

We ran open innovation challenges for two major energy clients:
→ TenneT TSO (Germany) — needed new business models for small-scale PV aggregators behaving in a grid-friendly way
→ QRDI & KAHRAMAA (Qatar) — needed grid stability solutions for a national EV charging expansion

New solutions are being identified to help utilities adapt to a more distributed energy future.

A 10% reduction in vehicle weight delivers a 6-8% improvement in energy efficiency.
The same principle holds whether you're building aircraft, wind turbine blades, packaging, or medical devices.
As CSRD and EPR schemes attach real costs to lifecycle emissions, lightweighting has moved from an engineering preference to a boardroom priority.
We mapped the global landscape across 12 countries, assessed 50+ material suppliers, and ran open innovation programs across aerospace, automotive, packaging, and renewables.

It's not "which AI tool should we use?" but rather "what can AI actually not do, and who owns that part?"
When you remove the human too early, AI doesn't just underperform. It confidently leads you in the wrong direction.
Here are 5 capabilities that still need a human at the center of every innovation process, no matter how good the models get.

NineSigma, representing a major Oil & Gas Company, invites proposals for innovative technologies, materials, and methods that can be deployed through existing well infrastructure to minimize sand production and, as a secondary objective, reduce water influx in mature oil and gas wells.

The successful technology will need to act as a filtering media installed, allowing the flow of hydrocarbons while preventing the solids (and potentially water) from entering the production tubing in which the solution would be installed.
