UBITECH hosts, in Athens, Greece, the kick-off meeting (September 22-23, 2022) of the CONNECT Research and Innovation Action, officially started on September 1st, 2022. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101069688) and spans on the period September 2022 – August 2025. CONNECT addresses the convergence of security and safety in CCAM by assessing dynamic trust relationships and defining a trust reasoning framework based on which involved entities can establish trust for cooperatively executing safety-critical functions. This will enable both a) cyber-secure data sharing between data sources in the CCAM ecosystem that had no or insufficient pre-existing trust relationship, and b) outsourcing tasks to the MEC and cloud in a trustworthy way.

NOVA and UBITECH ENERGY co-host the kick-off meeting in Athens, Greece (September 14-15, 2022) of the ENFLATE Innovation Action, officially started on September 1st, 2022. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101075783) and spans on the period September 2022 – August 2026. ENFLATE aims at developing and demonstrating in six demonstration campaigns across five countries, a collaborative platform of tools enabling consumer-driven business models for energy services, valorising their multi-vector flexibility potential, integrating them with other non-energy services (cross-industry services), like health and mobility ones.

UBITECH participated at the kick-off meeting hosted by EURECAT in Barcelona, Spain (September 14-15, 2022) of the NebulOus Research and Innovation Action, officially started on September 1st, 2022. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101070516) and spans on the period September 2022 – August 2025. NebulOus aims to transparently manage all the layers of the cloud continuum stack, in an equivalent manner to an Operating System (OS), managing the available computing capacity to facilitate an adaptive application hosting environment, driven by the processing proximity to data sources and optimised based on the data involved, the defined QoS requirements and the regulatory, security or privacy constraints.

UBITECH successfully concluded the DOOR project (Hardware Roots of Trust as an Enabler of Trustworthiness in Digital Transactions) that empowers participating entities in the ESSIF-Framework to establish trust by providing strong verifiable evidence and assurances on the origin and integrity of the presented verifiable credentials. DOOR achieves this goal by building a trusted layer between interacting parties that is based on strong cryptographic privacy-preserving tools. In this way, DOOR can enable the handling of VCs requiring higher level of assurances locally at the holder’s wallet.
