NGI-related horizon-scanning and research spinouts are part of our EC-funded RIA projects eg involving security and safety of critical cyber-physical systems eg in fintech and in personal learning (our open architectures and innovations address NGI-relevant needs such as security-by-design, privacy-by-design, control over personal data).
