Leveraging AI-driven smart technologies, with an emphasis on urban-industry interconnection, sustainable living and sustainable production, holds the transformative potential to enhance the sustainability and climate resilience of EU urban and industrial spaces. Recognizing this potential, NexTArc is devoted to augmenting the adoption of Trustworthy edge AI and IoT across 3 complementary and interrelated sectors reprented as use-cases: i) Smart, Sustainable and Liveable Neighbourhood in Urban Spaces (SLN), ii) Smart, sustainable and transparent industrial Spaces (STI), iii) Trustworthy and Eco-friendly Multimodal Connectivity of Urban and Industrial Spaces through people and freight mobility-TEM).
Building on this vision, we aim to promote cross-fertilization of ideas among a broad spectrum of stakeholders (37 partners/ 10 countries) integrated over a five-fold approach: a) cyber-resilience on chip; b) low-power embedded AI; c) heterogeneous edge-cloud connectivity; d) improved computation and dependability covering the high-performance needs; e) holistic solution stack enabling trustworthy services, which resonate with the EU CHIPS Act, 2ZERO, CCAM, Cities' Mission and Process4Planet frameworks.
