Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
Human Switch
Status date: 10 September 2020
Automotive electrification will change the way energy is produced and consumed across
the globe due to the resulting increase in local capacity of mobile battery storage.
The Human Switch enablesincreased update and utilisation of EV technologyalong with improved load balancing to support increased utilisation of renewables, helping to improve air pollution and CO2 issues.
The transition from fossil fuel to Electric Vehicles (EVs) will have a seismic impact in the utility, automotive and oil and gas markets as petroleum supply and infrastructure is replaced with power supply and storage.
Recent research has modelled the scale of these potentialrevenues, combining both the need for storage and V2G capabilities, where many EV owners can be aggregated into one, and their energy loads traded on the power exchanges.
Human Switch will offer twoservices; Human Switch Transitionand Live Service:
Human Switch Transition Service (Switch)–Switch helps consumers and fleet managers to make the right decisions about going electric, based on their actual driving behaviour and needs. We know that range anxiety, cost savings, carbon footprint and operational compromise are common concerns, Switch uses real world data to take the guessing out of transitioning.
Human Switch Live Service - The service allows EV owners to participate in lucrative V2G market mechanisms whilst preserving the minimum level of transport utility from their vehicle. Live helps customers make and save money through vehicle charging, by embedding EV's into the energy system.

Devised as a telemedicine tool answering the need to contain the spread of COVID-19 virus, Telemachus digitalise the interaction between Patients, Doctors and Health Authorities, and allows the monitoring of the health conditions of healthcare workers within hospitals.
ForestAI
Status date: 21 September 2021
The ForestAI project uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Earth Observation (EO) to provide an advanced forest monitoring solution globally. The service offers customers in the forestry domain with new tools to more efficiently manage their forests through up-to-date maps, deforestation alerts, and risk assessments.
Making green buildings greener
Status date: 29 January 2021
Air quality impacts our health and our quality of life. Most of us spend 90% of their time indoors - but do we know if the air quality in our homes is good?
In this project, Airmine outlines smart home solutions to improve air quality in homes. We develop hyper-local outdoor air quality nowcasts and forecasts using data from our outdoor air quality sensors. By integrating local air quality data with smart home systems, the user can take predictive measures that can improve indoor home health.
GSOT
Status date: 16 September 2021
The main goal of this project is to create an augmented reality system for the 50ha Grunwald battlefield site in Poland. Visitors will be able to download the application to their smartphones and learn more about the history of the battle while visualising the deployment of all forces on site.
Saturnalia
Status date: 15 September 2021
Saturnalia offers unique, hard-to-find insights on fine wines all in one place. The mission is to create a living atlas of fine wines, completed with quantitative data. Such a reliable and transparent tool helps all wine lovers and professionals obtain strategic information and unique predictions not typically accessible within the wine sector.
A-QKD-S
Status date: 13 September 2021
This project defines an ‘Augmented Quantum Key Distribution (AQKD)’ Satellite Service that uses nanosatellites to deliver cryptographic keys for fractions of the cost of traditional satellite constellations. This service, rather than compete with large service providers, aims to augment these larger networks and could be used for on a wide range of end applications with multiple market verticals.
Tandem
Status date: 10 September 2021
Tandem is building the future of mobility for towns and small cities by turning existing local taxis, minibuses and coaches into smart, shared shuttles
AGROMS
Status date: 08 September 2021

RAPSODY
Status date: 19 November 2018
RAPSODY, a project led by TEKEVER, will demonstrate the use of remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS) in a wide area maritime context, through the execution of search & rescue and pollution monitoring missions. The missions will be executed in near-real scenarios over the Atlantic Ocean. The Satcom-enabled RPAS will be fully prepared and customized to perform these maritime missions, including the integration of specific payloads and the usage of specially tailored mission-oriented data fusion, data compression and automatic feature recognition and identification algorithms.
