The Eurecat technology centre is developing several technologies to drive innovation in food, such as a new automated digester which will enable the food industry to analyse the digestibility and nutritional quality of new protein sources. The digester simulates the human digestive system and allows in vitro laboratory testing of the digestibility and protein [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European Shift2Zero project which is investing its over €12 million budget to develop innovative new designs and functionalities for commercial e-vehicles to meet urban logistics needs, cut emissions and improve operational efficiency. The project brings together leading players from across the logistics and automotive value chain “to [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European FlexCrash project which has developed an online platform for simulating mixed traffic scenarios with autonomous and human-driven vehicles in real time to help identify critical situations and improve road safety. The FlexCrash platform enables interaction between human drivers and autonomous vehicles in realistic simulations and provides [...]
Aniol Bosch, a researcher at the Eurecat technology centre and PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Girona (UdG), has been awarded one of three grants offered by the Daniel Bravo Andreu Private Foundation for short-term biomedical research stays at leading centres abroad. This will enable him to spend six months at [...]
The TurisTIC Forum, the conference on innovation and the application of technology to the tourism industry organised by the Eurecat technology centre, today picked out innovative experiences in culinary and wine tourism which foster the new paradigm of regenerative tourism by activating relationships between visitors and local communities to generate shared value and restore [...]
The Eurecat Congress was attended by experts and key players in the Catalan healthcare industry who discussed how innovation and new technological tools are changing, and can improve in the future, the healthcare system and lifelong wellbeing. They unpacked the challenges and opportunities brought by the emergence of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, [...]
Artificial intelligence, biotechnology and robotics applied to agriculture and livestock farming and improving efficiency in the use of natural resources and food transformation processes are just some of the areas in which the Eurecat technology centre conducts technological innovation projects to make the agri-food sector and rural areas more competitive, where it is helping [...]
