BEGONIA

Europe is embarking on a transformative endeavour to modernise digital information usage, with a focus on enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity of our energy and transportation sectors. At the core of this initiative lies the development of advanced Operational Digital Platforms (ODPs) that transcend national boundaries, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies such as data sharing, cloud computing, and network connectivity.

The BEGONIA Project is an EU-funded Coordination and Support Action that aims to expedite this digital transformation in the energy and transport sectors, analysing the most promising solutions and providing information to the European Commission to set up and fund future works project(s).

BEGONIA will identify, study and prepare the development of Operational Digital Platforms across at least seven EU countries, starting from the identification of 10 cross-border and possibly cross-sector (energy and transport) use cases, meticulously shortlisting three based on predefined criteria, and evaluating their impacts through proof-of-concept implementation of their ODPs.

BEGONIA is about more than just technology landscaping. It is about proposing solutions leading to creating jobs, driving economic growth for the stakeholders, and ensuring Europe remains a beacon of innovation and sustainability. By forging strong partnerships between the public and private sectors, we're setting the stage for a digital and green revolution that will help us meet our environmental goals and boost the digital economy.

BEGONIA is a consortium of seven top leading organisations from five countries: DTU University, Center Denmark, olivoENERGY, CEMOSA, BluePrint Energy Solutions, Wings ICT Solutions and Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC).
