Digital Large-Scale Partnership and its member Skills Alliances – Artificial Intelligence Skills Alliance, Blockchain Skills for Europe Alliance, and Cybersecurity Skills Alliance are organising a matchmaking event to bring together research and innovation stakeholders to explore collaborative ventures for the development of educational programmes in key digital sectors.

It will focus on the opportunities offered by two calls for proposals under the Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programmes, namely:

After a plenary session (15.00-15.40) there will be time for bilateral matchmaking sessions (15.40-17.30) which can be organised via the event website. Please visit this event website for further information and to register to the event.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
