Connected Cities
Cities and rural communities are transforming. With interoperable technologies, smart infrastructure, and better use of data – we can create more livable, efficient, and resilient environments.
Making cities work smarter together
Our work spans cybersecurity, data connectivity, and AI – creating the digital backbone for tomorrow's smart cities, industries, and mobility.
We explore solutions such as:
- Cybersecurity and digitization – secure systems for smart buildings, eMobility, and circular industry – all connected to wider energy and communication networks.
- Collecting and sharing data – fast, secure connectivity via fiber, wireless, 5G Edge, and IoT platforms, enabling critical infrastructure like drone-supported networks.
- New applications and AI – AI and data processing for energy- and climate-smart solutions that cut impact, save energy, and advance UN’s Agenda 2030 goals.
Through smart connectivity, we create environments that can adapt to change and help accelerate the shift.
Here's our soon-to-be home, ACE Powerhouse, built to meet today's highest sustainability standards and shape tomorrow's solutions. With its unique blend of physical and digital test environments, it will be a vital hub for developing our electrified future.
In focus right now
Two of our key Connected Cities initiatives are the projects ACE CyberSafe and Rural energy communities. Read more here.
Selected programs and courses
Knowledge is key to meeting future needs and driving development. That's why we highlight high-quality programs and courses – and also work to fill the gaps we see in today's education landscape.
Right now, we're developing two new courses:
– Energy communities
– Future energy systems, including distributed storage and grid support
As soon as they're ready, we'll present them here alongside our recommended courses.
