Projects

We recently launched an initiative, called Restart Together, to address challenges and radical changes caused by the pandemic and to collectively identify new green business opportunities for the relaunch of SMEs and the transition to sustainable productive systems in post-pandemic.

We are member of the CEPS Task Force on New Industrial Strategy in Post-pandemic Recovery, more specifically of WG on "Digital Economy and Data" and "Green Deal".

Our community is working on the definition of innovative collaborative projects built on top of IoT, AI and blockchains technologies in the area of sustainable agriculture and consumption, water management, and energy efficiency.
