CELTIC-NEXT
Next-generation communications (5G→6G, ICT)
Focus on communication technologies that enable a secure, trusted, and sustainable digital society: advanced fixed/mobile networks, edge/cloud convergence, network automation with AI/ML, IoT/IIoT, satellite–terrestrial integration, optical backbones, and cybersecurity. Strong emphasis on multi-partner pilots serving mobility, health, manufacturing, and public safety.

EUROGIA
Low-carbon & decarbonisation energy technologies
Collaborative R&D for carbon-neutrality across renewables (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass), hydrogen and e-fuels, energy storage (battery, hydrogen, thermal), CCUS, grid integration/flexibility, industry decarbonisation, smart cities, and efficient buildings. Brings tech providers together with adopters (utilities, OEMs, industrials) to validate low-carbon solutions with measurable impact.

EUROGIA
Software innovation & the digital transition
Software-driven, close-to-market innovation: AI & data, digital twins, cybersecurity & privacy, high-performance and cloud computing, embedded & edge software, human-centric interfaces, automation, and platform engineering. Outcomes: toolchains, reference implementations, and deployable services with clear customer value across health, mobility, energy, manufacturing, and public services.

SMART
Advanced/discrete manufacturing
Industry-led projects in advanced manufacturing: additive/hybrid processes, robotics/cobots, digital factory & IIoT, inline inspection & quality, AI for production, predictive maintenance, circular/sustainable manufacturing, supply-chain resilience, and human–machine collaboration. Targets near-term improvements in cost, throughput, quality, and sustainability in real production environments.

Xecs
Electronic Components & Systems (ECS)
Innovation across the ECS value chain: micro/nano-electronics, semiconductor processes, sensors & actuators, embedded software, systems integration, power electronics, and edge computing. Often links hardware, firmware, and software to deliver high-impact demonstrators for mobility, energy, industrial digitalisation, health, and smart infrastructure.
