The digital age and the fifth industrial revolution have become reality. Digital technologies shape all sectors of the European economy and affect each citizen’s daily routine. Yet, there is still a lot to learn and to do. To this end, the European Commission declared human-centric digital transformation a priority to make Europe fit for the digital age and thus developed a Digital Strategy which strongly influences numerous funding schemes for research and innovation.
The main funding programme is Horizon Europe. Its 2nd Pillar includes Cluster 4, Digital, Industry and Space which covers all areas of digitalisation, reaching from quantum technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to advanced computing and Big Data with the aim of building a competitive, digital, low-carbon industry. Additionally, digitalisation is a cross-cutting element in many other instruments of Horizon Europe, including Health, Green Deal and other areas. The objective of all research and innovation funding provided through Cluster 4 is to intervene in the following areas:
Together with academic, public and private-sector partners from all over Europe, we at accelopment have been supporting the digital transformation by making automated driving robust in extreme weather (ROADVIEW) and developing next-generation biosensors (SYNSENSO) and are working with new consortia using digital technologies for breast cancer screening (ThermoBreast) and solar energy solutions (SOLARX), among other digitalisation projects.
