Funded projects

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.

Impact Deal

Data-driven acceleration program for European enterprises committed to generating societal impact
The initiative boosts the growth of entrepreneurial ventures capable of generating measurable positive societal impact thanks to the access to proprietary datasets (owned by Data Club companies and entities), the creation of public-private collaboration models or between large and small enterprises, and the access to investment capitals.
TOP-IX is the operational partner of the project.

A project by

DECICE

Device Edge Cloud Intelligent Collaboration framEwork
Period: January 2023 - December 2026
DECICE aims to develop an AI-based, open and portable cloud management framework for automatic and adaptive optimization and deployment of applications in a federated infrastructure, including computing from the very large (e.g., HPC systems) to the very small (e.g., IoT sensors connected on the edge).
The DECICE project was completed in November 2025.

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.
