Key Technologies
Focus Areas
INSIDE believes that Intelligent Digital systems are key to building a sustainable Europe, moving technology forward, and making Europe more competitive. To do so, we need to work on six technology domains in six application domains. Below is an overview of these 12 domains.
Shaping the future of industries with Embedded Systems and Cyber-Physical Innovations
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are revolutionising industries by integrating intelligence into everyday objects, enabling smarter, safer, and more autonomous solutions. From smart cities to self-driving cars, CPS empower connected Systems of Systems (SoS) with real-time adaptability, advanced AI, and secure interoperability.
Edge Computing and Embedded AI: Driving Real-Time Solutions
Edge computing addresses the need for real-time performance, tackling latency, bandwidth, and security challenges while enhancing IoT applications. By combining embedded AI with energy-efficient processing, CPS are transforming sectors like healthcare, automotive, and industrial automation with localised intelligence and autonomy.
Secure and Trustworthy Systems for a Connected Future
In a world of interconnected devices, cybersecurity and lifecycle trust are essential. Europe is leading the development of secure IoT infrastructures, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient networks for industrial and consumer applications.
High-Performance Embedded Computing: Compact Powerhouses
Demanding applications like autonomous vehicles require embedded high-performance computing (eHPC)—offering supercomputing capabilities in compact, energy-efficient designs. Emerging paradigms like neuromorphic computingpromise transformative energy savings while enabling breakthrough AI performance.
Building the Digital Backbone
Integrated platforms orchestrate complex SoS ecosystems, delivering real-time monitoring, lifecycle control, and seamless functionality. These innovations foster trust, security, and scalability across dynamic, distributed networks.
Engineering Tomorrow’s Systems
Advancing CPS and SoS requires innovative software engineering tools to manage complexity, ensure safety, and harness the potential of AI-driven solutions. Europe’s leadership in microcontrollers and embedded systems positions it to shape the future of intelligent connectivity and secure digital transformation.
Join us in redefining the boundaries of embedded technology. Together, we’re building a smarter, more connected world.
