NEXUS: Innovation Agenda for Digital and Green Transition

Summary

Promotion of an Agenda around logistics and transport networks, focused on innovating, developing, demonstrating and initiating the valorisation and exploitation of products and services with strong export potential that address the main challenges and gaps identified in logistics in Portugal. The NEXUS Agenda will create an ecosystem of 28 products and services for the Green and Digital Transition in the transport and multimodal sectors. At the centre of this ecosystem, the core product, is the Nexus Open Data Collaboration Platform, comprising a set of applications and services (Nexus Federated Applications and Services). Finally, the Nexus Harware Assets component, of innovative hardware products that exploit IoT principles and promote important synergies between the open data collaboration platform and the other applications and services. Each of these will have its own digital representation (digital twin), aimed at sharing and receiving data to improve the performance of operations.
