Focus Areas

Our focus areas in our research, development, and innovation (RDI) work are low-carbon initiatives, digital solutions, and business development. Through these areas of expertise, we are helping to resolve global challenges and build a sustainable society.

Digital Solutions

We have top-notch expertise, particularly in drones, the development of autonomous vehicles, especially in the areas of modelling development environments, digital twins, and real-time simulation; and cultural productions with digital implementations. Additionally, we are working with companies to develop applications for printed intelligence, robotics, digital solutions related to health, and flexible automation. We are promoting the use of digitalisation across various sectors and supporting the emergence of digital-based entrepreneurship and new business ventures.

Low-carbon Initiatives

We promote sustainable development and the renewal of the built environment and rural livelihoods. We are developing renewable and low-carbon energy, transportation, work machine technology, and circular economy solutions with links to environmentally friendly construction and a low-carbon approach to the food chain. We are developing a sustainable society, promoting energy-efficient construction and the use of bio-based materials.

Business Development

We help companies develop their profitability, competitiveness, and internationalisation. We support startup entrepreneurship and offer incubation activities that generate new business. Our expertise lies in leveraging digitalisation, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and service design in growth businesses, as well as in developing entrepreneurship in rural areas and helping them thrive.
