- Belfast Harbour offers a unique environment to trial innovative technologies, as it operates independently of the UK Highway Code on its own streets. This flexibility allows for testing solutions like 5G, AR, VR, and autonomous systems to enhance efficiency and connectivity.
- SHAPTH is a project aimed at standardizing data exchange formats for drinking water hygiene in Germany across all federal states. The goal is to create a unified data platform to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and enhance interoperability between institutions such as laboratories, health authorities, and government bodies.
