The AMBITIOUS project consortium meets in Brussels

On 2nd and 3rd April, the AMBITIOUS project consortium met in Brussels for two intense days of discussion, collaboration and strategic planning. The meeting, organised in a hybrid format to facilitate both in-person and remote participation, was a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships between partners, share crucial updates and explore the latest developments in the project, particularly those related to pilot initiatives.

For us at Clust-ER Health, project partner and managers of the communication activities, it was a key moment not only to foster internal cohesion within the consortium, but also to showcase the stories of innovation that AMBITIOUS is building day after day. Communicating these advances in a clear and engaging way is essential to amplify the impact of the project and involve an ever-wider network of stakeholders.

One of the most significant moments of the meeting was the official presentation of the new SMEs selected through the recent open call. This selection, the result of a competitive and transparent process, aims to stimulate interregional collaboration, facilitate technology transfer and support the development of innovative digital solutions.

The entry of these new business ventures into the consortium marks an important milestone in the evolution of AMBITIOUS: it is a concrete sign of openness and growth, and Clust-ER Health is committed to giving voice to this new synergy through effective and targeted communication that highlights the contribution of each partner and the opportunities that are being created.

One of the most exciting aspects of this expansion is the opportunity for the SMEs involved to access high-level tools and resources: from real-world use cases to advanced 5G testbeds, which open the door to concrete experimentation in key sectors such as digital health, precision agriculture, water management and telemedicine.

During the meeting, the consortium discussed numerous strategic issues in depth, including:

• Overall progress in project development
• Updates on use cases for the two main lines of work:
  • AIDA: AI-enabled data analysis and forecasting
  • AGORA: cooperation and data security in health and wellness applications
• Strategies for effectively integrating new SMEs and ensuring long-term collaboration

As Clust-ER Health, we also had the opportunity to strengthen the project’s communication strategy by collecting first-hand testimonials and useful materials to illustrate the concrete impact of AMBITIOUS on the businesses and communities involved. Our goal is to highlight these stories of innovation and digital transformation, helping to create a shared and accessible narrative.

From improving precision farming processes to advanced applications in digital healthcare and sustainable water resource management, AMBITIOUS continues to explore the frontiers of digital transformation.

The consortium is ready to tackle the next phase of the project with enthusiasm and determination. For us at Clust-ER Health, this means continuing to highlight the achievements made, facilitating dialogue between partners and nurturing the network of relationships that makes the project not only innovative, but also deeply human.

We are already working on reporting on the next steps of this journey and look forward to sharing new success stories at the next consortium meeting!
