Abstract

Eureka is an initiative to promote international cooperation in market-oriented research and development. In view of the increasing importance of AAI, the Eureka clusters have issued calls for proposals on AAI topics in the past and continue to view AAI as an important cross-cutting topic across all areas in upcoming calls.
We present an example of a successful Eureka clusters project. SOLOMON features a “shop operations and experience” platform that connects different technologies and information sources into seamless services for interaction with the retailers, shop personnel and consumers. In particular, SOLOMON emphasizes the use of mobile device mediated interactions in sensor enriched physical environments for rich user experiences.
Projects like SOLOMON, which combine software innovation and sustainable digital transformation with innovation in electronic components and systems, require different stakeholders. Eureka clusters help to navigate the complex landscape of stakeholders and are designed to deliver the highest ROI for both industry partners and public funding agencies.
You will learn how to submit projects to the two Eureka clusters ITEA and Xecs and how to obtain funding through FFG. ITEA is the Eureka Cluster on software innovation, enabling a large international community to collaborate in funded projects that turn innovative ideas into business opportunities facilitated by digitisation in areas like smart mobility, healthcare, smart cities and energy, manufacturing, engineering and safety & security. Xecs is a Eureka Cluster specifically designed to accelerate the pace of sustainable industrial innovation in the Electronics Components & Systems (ECS) community. The intent of Xecs is to create an ambitious international collaboration programme resulting in high levels of societal and economic impact. FFG provides different funding programmes to support Austrian partners in Eureka Cluster projects.
