Mai Troppo Tardi

To practice Social Innovation

Period: May 2020 - Oct 2025 (Project completed)
“Mai Troppo Tardi” (“Never too late") is a social innovation project, aimed to develop, consolidate and extend innovative practices to meet the needs of young people under 30, and the senior people over 65 with difficulty in accessing digital services. These two groups' combined "weaknesses" can transform into strengths through a skill transfer programme based on intergenerational exchange.

Funded by the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers and then by Fondazione Social Venture Giordano dell’Amore.

PROGETTI CORRELATI

ASIMOV

Aircraft Safe Inspection Module by Operating UAVs
Period: January 2026 – December 2028
ASIMOV, funded by the Piedmont Region as part of the 2024 SWIch call for proposals, aims to accelerate, make safer, and optimize aircraft deicing operations at airports, reducing the consumption of anti-icing fluids and the operational load on workers. The solution, protected by a EU patent, is based on the use of UAS-Unmanned Aerial System.

ASIMOV is based on a partnership, which includes WPWEB srl, NIMBUS, TOP-IX Consortium, SAGAT, Politecnico di Torino (Dipartimenti DIATI, DAUIN and PIC4SER Interdepartmental Centre).

H2@EDGE

Hydrogen supporting telecommunications during energy criticality
Period: December 2025 – June 2028
H2@Edge, funded by the Piedmont Region under the 2024 SWIch call for proposals, aims to address energy criticality situations in the TLC sector through a solution based on green hydrogen.

It involves a “cross-sectoral” partnership, including Piedmontese SMEs from the telecommunications (TRC Srl), ICT (EURIX), and systems engineering (TECNODELTA Srl) sectors, as well as various departments from the two Turin universities, including POLITO-DENERG and UNITO Department of Chemistry. The TOP-IX Consortium coordinates the activities.

SAGE

The Data Space for a Sustainable Green Europe
Period: January 2026 – December 2028
SAGE will establish the Green Deal Data Space (GDDS) aimed at enhancing the accessibility, integration, and utilisation of green and environmental data across the EU to support key pillars of the European Green Deal—Zero Pollution, Climate Adaptation, Biodiversity, and the Circular Economy. Building directly upon the GREAT project community and results, and aligning with the Digital Europe Programme’s strategic focus on AI, cybersecurity, advanced computing, and data infrastructure, SAGE leverages outcomes from the European Strategy for Data and research facilitated by Horizon Europe.
