VMware, a leading international provider of multi-cloud services with an R&D headquarters within the Bolzano technology park, was looking for a solution to optimize the electric car charging experience through artificial intelligence.
The IntelliCharge group has been able to revolutionize the charging experience using AI models such as facial expression and license plate recognition, together with a front-end service that draws on data from the Open Data Hub to suggest to users, during charging, places of interest to visit.
Konverto, a local IT solutions provider, called for innovative solutions to use high-resolution satellite imagery for agricultural applications.
The CosmicCarrots working group has developed a platform that provides farms with valuable information on the impact of climate change on their fields, as well as the best time to harvest and the state of development compared to neighboring agricultural areas.
