The UPCxels<\/a> project, led by the Intelligent Data sciEnce and Artificial Intelligence Research Group (IDEAI-UPC<\/a>) at the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC), aims to create an open, cross-sectoral platform for a shared data space across multiple fields, with a special focus on the agri-food sector.<\/h4>

Today, data is a key resource driving innovation. But its real power is unleashed when shared with purpose.

In this context, the UPCxels platform seeks to transform collected data into strategic assets, i.e., data that is valuable for decision-making. Rather than a traditional sectoral data space (SDS), it functions as a data marketplace, enabling businesses to monetise, optimise and scale through advanced analytics and artificial intelligence.

Designed to foster collaboration among companies, institutions and organisations, UPCxels will ensure secure, efficient and fully interoperable data exchange. Data control always remains in the hands of the user, who can decide what to share, with whom, and under what conditions, with guarantees of security, traceability, and regulatory compliance. All of this is built on a scalable cloud infrastructure, with 24\/7 security and monitoring to ensure service performance and quality.

UPCxels enables access to:



Advanced governance: legally valid digital contracts ensuring data traceability, sovereignty and security.

Connection to European standards: compatible with Gaia-X, Eclipse and IDSA, integrating major European data frameworks.

AI-based analytics: extracts valuable insights to optimise processes and improve decision-making.

Process automation: reduces bureaucratic burden through smart contracts and optimised data flows.



Impact<\/h4>

UPCxels has a direct impact on key economic sectors, offering data-driven solutions that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and decision-making.

In the agri-food domain, it enables more precise and responsible resource management, boosting productivity and reducing environmental impact. In the context of Industry 4.0, it helps optimise production processes through advanced data analysis, fostering competitiveness and innovation. In the energy sector, it improves demand management, consumption forecasting, and optimisation of renewable energy sources. Finally, in mobility, it supports more efficient and sustainable urban planning through real-time data management.

Budget and Funding<\/h4>

The project has received a budget of \u20ac 933,732, funded under the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan by the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Public Function (Government of Spain). It will run for 14 months (November 2024 \u2013 December 2025).
