SWII 2024 focuses on Transformational Technologies and matches the R&D heaviest Swiss, Swedish, German, and Austrian MNEs, SMEs & academia with the goal to launch joint market-oriented R&D projects.

Subtopics within Transformational Technologies that are of interest for joint innovation projects are:

• AI, ML & AUTOMATION
  • 3D perception
  • Autonomous systems (also under robotics)
  • AI assisted decision support systems
  • AI in production optimization
  • Cognitive information processing
  • Computing infrastructure incl. cloud and edge computing as well as system architecture (also under robotics)
  • Data cleansing, and interpretation
  • Digital twins & simulations (also under robotics)
  • Embedded software and systems
  • Event analysis and anomalies in production
  • Explainable AI
  • IOT, sensors & connectivity
  • LLM, NLP, generative AI
  • Networked automation systems
  • Object detection & scene understanding
  • Pattern recognition
  • Quality control and defect detection
  • Speech recognition

•  ROBOTICS
  • Autonomous systems
  • Robot-human interaction
  • Computer vision
  • Digital twins and simulations

• More sub-thematic are currently added by partners & will be included in the call for co-funding
