The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), through the Centre for Innovation and Technology of UPC (CIT UPC), had a stand at Foro Transfiere 2025, from March 12 to 14 at the Palau de Fires i Congressos de Málaga (FYCMA). This event brought together professionals and experts from the R&D+i field to promote the transfer of knowledge and collaboration between universities and businesses.
In this edition, the University’s stand showcased the technological capabilities and projects developed by UPC, and CIT UPC also participated in networking activities with companies and institutions.
During the event, the following projects were showcased.
- USEFUL: A car equipped with AI and optical sensors that will collect vast amounts of data for autonomous driving.
- AI4WATER: A project focused on digital twins for irrigation agriculture, optimizing water use and sustainability in farming.
- DISCOVER: A comprehensive solution based on AI and robotics to boost circularity in the construction sector.
- MyGAIT: Smart insoles to improve the quality of life for Parkinson's patients.
- 6G-EWOC: Artificial intelligence and 6G technologies to achieve safer and more interconnected mobility.
- ELEGANT: A unique infrastructure as a real-world testbed for 6G applications.
- BIOMETCRI: Circular bioeconomy in the recycling of electric and hybrid vehicle batteries, recovering valuable metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, and manganese.
- COREWIND: Improve the performance of floating offshore wind technology.
- MERIT: Development of a new pan-European educational ecosystem for training digital specialists.
- INDUSAC: An initiative to revolutionize collaboration between universities and businesses.
- EU.FFICIENT: Co-creation, the future of collaborative innovation in europe.
