A study on personalised nutrition run by the Eurecat technology centre points to the potential of nutritional recommendations aimed at uniform groups of people based on their metabolic affinities to improve their eating habits and optimise their health. The study, which is part of the Preventomics project, harnesses omics analysis combined with genetics and [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has more than twenty highly specialised laboratories bringing together over 200 associated services delivering technological solutions to businesses to enable them to undertake complex industrial or innovation projects by harnessing digital, industrial, biotech and sustainability technologies and their hybridisation. To provide all the potential these resources have for the performance [...]
Parc Taulí kicked off this July a multisite clinical trial to validate artificial intelligence software that detects lung cancer in unreported chest X-rays. This tool, dubbed Optimal XR, is designed to prevent potentially malignant lung nodules, which are not currently diagnosed in time because the X-rays have not been examined by a radiologist, from [...]
Catalan firm Marina Textil has partnered up with the Eurecat technology centre to roll out a circular economy project to generate a new fabric harnessing up to 88 percent of the waste that until now was thrown away during the company’s industrial process. Using this innovative technology, they estimate that up to 5,500 kg [...]
TurisTIC Forum, the congress on innovation and technology in tourism organised by the Eurecat technology centre in Barcelona, is to explore technology initiatives and benchmark case studies in the tourism industry to drive the sustainability of the business and meet challenges such as water and waste management, decarbonisation, digital transformation and new responsible tourism [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European RECREATE project, which on a €3.4 million budget is to evaluate new strategies for integrating alternative water resources into the water cycle such as reuse, desalination and rainwater harvesting with the aim of improving resilience in management and ensuring its availability in response to the impact [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the European HYIELD project which has been awarded a €10 million EU grant to build a demonstration plant to generate hydrogen from waste on an industrial scale. The plant will be in Alcanar and involve total investment coming to €15.5 million. It is estimated that Europe [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has taken part in the CONOCE project which has applied disruptive technologies to the process of creating new food products with a view to unlocking innovation in this field by putting the consumer experience in the spotlight. Specifically, Eurecat has applied neuroscientific methods and virtual reality techniques to the study [...]
Artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven technologies have huge potential to transform the energy sector and optimise how energy is produced, managed and used in view of the need to make headway in the transition to renewable energies, energy sovereignty and digitalisation of the entire activity chain. This is the conclusion of the eighth white [...]
