The UPC Technology Center has presented UPC technology at Transfiere 2024, held from March 20th to 22nd at the Trade Fair and Congress Center of Málaga (FYCMA). The event brought together over 4,500 professionals from the R&D&I field. At this edition, CIT UPC had its own stand and participated in networking activities with companies and entities. It showcased the technological capabilities and projects developed by the UPC related to urban development and sustainability, health, circular economy, biomaterials, solutions applying technologies such as artificial intelligence and 6G to mobility. Additionally, other projects aimed at enhancing digital skills among professionals in Europe and fostering university-industry collaboration were also exhibited.
Transfiere is the European Meeting on Science, Technology and Innovation and the main meeting point of southern Europe to share scientific and technological knowledge, promote innovation and connect science and companies.
The 2024 call reaffirms a commitment to increase the visibility of the business sector as a pillar of innovation in the private sector, with the support of government bodies.
Some of the projects and solutions with the UPC’s stamp that were presented include:
- BINAFET project: Integrating agriculture into buildings and modelling strategies for air reuse in cities.
- A device for monitoring the cardiovascular system in animals in a non-invasive way.
- RECYBUILDMAT project: Construction materials based on recycling fibres from clothing waste and textile remnants.
- SEASLAG project: A new biomaterial to regenerate marine ecosystems based on byproducts of the steel and agrifood industries.
- Assolim project: Optimised routes on demand for the food service sector.
- ETEXHEALTH project: Smart textiles for applications in the health sector.
- 6G-EWOC project: a 6G optical network of connected mobility, so that in the future vehicles can travel autonomously with high levels of safety, due to a full 3D map of mobility in the environment in real time.
- A laser technology for mapping of the underwater environment and navigating more safely and accurately without human intervention, developed in the BEACON project.
- MERIT, a new pan-European educational ecosystem for training digital specialists and a master’s degree programme promoted by the industry, based on current market trends and industry needs focused on AI, the Internet of Things (IoT) and cybersafety. A project in which the CIT UPC participates as a member.
- INDUSAC project, focused on the development and validation of innovative collaboration between industry and university, for fast, human-centred co-creation driven by challenges, in which the CIT UPC also participates.
