Wat het meest in het oog springt, is de realisatie van een windtunnel.<\/p>\n<p>Samen met CEO Bert Celis is voorzitter Marc Hufkens de bezieler van Flanders\u2019 Bike Valley. \u2018Ik heb van mijn vijftiende tot mijn zevenentwintigste als amateur aan competitiefietsen gedaan,\u2019 verklapt Marc Hufkens, \u2018en ik zit al vijfentwintig jaar in de fiets- en sportartikelenindustrie.\u2019 Van 2010 tot 2014 was hij de rechterhand van Jochim Aerts, CEO van Ridley.<\/p>\n<p><b>Uitwisseling loont<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Bij de opening van de nieuwe Ridley-fietsenfabriek in Beringen toonde Jochim Aerts zich heel ambitieus,\u2019 herinnert Marc Hufkens zich levendig. \u2018Hij kondigde aan dat hij zelf een windtunnel wilde bouwen. Als CEO van een bedrijf dat technologisch aan de wereldtop staat op het vlak van framebouw en aerodynamica, wist hij waarover hij sprak, maar hoe pak je dat aan en \u2013 vooral \u2013 is het wel betaalbaar? De enorme investering bleek voor \u00e9\u00e9n bedrijf al snel te hoog gegrepen. Maar waarom zou hij zich alleen op fietsen focussen?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Zowel met het oog op het investeringsvolume als op de bezettingsgraad van zo\u2019n installatie moesten dus meer partijen dan alleen een fietsenbouwer aan boord komen. Met Bioracer en Lazer, toppers in respectievelijk fietskleding en fietshelmen, werden de ideale partners gevonden. \u2018Ze dachten allebei dat zij de meeste kennis over aerodynamica in huis hadden,\u2019 gaat Marc Hufkens verder, \u2018maar aangezien ze geen rechtstreekse concurrenten van elkaar waren, zeiden ze: waarom niet? Ze leerden al snel heel veel van elkaar!\u2019<\/p>\n<p><b>1 + 1 = 3<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Het was een zware opdracht voor Marc Hufkens om de puzzel in elkaar te passen en de neuzen in dezelfde richting te krijgen. \u2018Aanvankelijk waren de partijen voorzichtig, maar door goed en veel met elkaar te praten, kwam het enthousiasme los. We dachten dat de uiteenlopende achtergronden en ervaringswerelden de innovatie zouden vertragen, maar ze bleken zodanig complementair, dat de innovatie daarentegen net versneld werd. Als koepelorganisatie geeft Flanders\u2019 Bike Valley extra ondersteuning aan de stevige positie van de individuele bedrijven.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Als competentiecentrum bekijkt Flanders\u2019 Bike Valley het fietsen zo breed mogelijk. \u2018Open innovatie, vanuit een onafhankelijke positie en zonder exclusiviteiten,\u2019 zo omschrijft Marc Hufkens de doelstelling. \u2018Er zijn zes pijlers voor onze projecten: drie omtrent fietsbeleving \u2013 bijvoorbeeld via toerisme en recreatie, met het mondiaal unieke Limburgse fietsroutenetwerk \u2013 en drie rond productontwerp, procesinnovatie en vermarkting. Die zes pijlers versterken elkaar.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><b>De windtunnel<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Het neusje van de zalm in Flanders\u2019 Bike Valley is de windtunnel die dit voorjaar is geopend. \u2018Experimenten rond aerodynamica in windtunnels bestaan al in de aerospace-industrie en in de Formule 1, maar daar gaat het over heel hoge snelheden en veel zwaardere items dan fietsen. Wij wilden de windweerstand testen bij snelheden van 30 \u00e0 50 km per uur, hooguit 110 km per uur. Dit kan bij afdalingen van cols, maar ook voor sporten als ski\u00ebn, schaatsen, bobslee\u00ebn, zeilen,&#8230; nieuwe perspectieven bieden.\u2019 Kortom, de effecten meten van micro-aerodynamica.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In de windtunnel meten we wat er bij beweging gebeurt en brengen we dit in kaart: de luchtlaag wordt opengebroken en sluit zich vervolgens achter het bewegende object, liefst zonder al te veel turbulenties die het object naar achteren zuigen. De onderzoeksresultaten kunnen makers van helmen, fietsen en textiel inspireren om hun producten aan te passen, zodat de lucht zich zonder turbulentie achter het bewegende object kan sluiten. Ondanks alle kapitaalkracht in het alpineski\u00ebn bijvoorbeeld staat die sport nog lang niet zo ver dat skipakken binnen de toegestane limieten geoptimaliseerd zijn. Dit is baanbrekend werk.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><b>Netwerkeconomie<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Marc Hufkens maakt zich sterk dat een aantal Belgische sporters in verschillende disciplines internationaal veel hoger zouden scoren \u2013 en zelfs in de medailles zouden kunnen vallen, waar ze dat nu niet doen \u2013 als die optimalisatie zou gebeuren onder invloed van technologische research. \u2018Er is ook het functionele voordeel in de &#8216;gewone&#8217; maatschappij, buiten de topsport,\u2019 vult Marc Hufkens aan. \u2018De reikwijdte van batterijen voor e-bikes of elektrische auto&#8217;s zou aanzienlijk kunnen vergroten, als we ze aerodynamisch zouden optimaliseren.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>De tijd dat producenten proberen om met hun eigen ingenieurs alles zelf te ontwikkelen, is definitief voorbij, aldus nog Marc Hufkens. \u2018Flanders\u2019 Bike Valley laat zien dat het uitwisselen van expertise in open innovatieprojecten tot een snellere ontwikkeling leidt dan de bedrijven apart ooit zouden kunnen realiseren. Wij zijn als het ware een economisch datingbureau, dat alle betrokkenen een competitieve voorsprong geeft. De toekomst is aan de netwerkeconomie en innovatie is superbelangrijk. Onze unieke visie kan een rolmodel zijn voor stimulerende clustervorming.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-top-left-radius: 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-left-radius: 2px;
