The UPC develops solutions based on its expert knowledge and experience in applied technology, in response to current smart connectivity challenges. In addition, the UPC is a leading university in the transfer of research results, the creation of start-ups, and the coordination of national and international projects.
The UPC also participates in 5G Barcelona, is a member of EIT Urban Mobility along with the CIT UPC, and is a founding member of CARNET, a project coordinated by CIT UPC and based on public-private collaboration to design the urban mobility of the future.
All three initiatives are an example of the range of areas in which the UPC applies connectivity in a cross-cutting way for a global environment.
