Let's begin with the presentation of the projects that won the 2nd call for innovation and internationalization! The first project we will introduce you is SOTER! SOTER brings together a unique collaboration between partners from the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) sector and cutting-edge digital innovation companies. This project aims to transform how large-scale events like festivals ensure safety and enhance the visitor experience through advanced AI and Computer Vision solutions. 🎶📹 The consortium, led by IkanoVision, combines expertise from three partners and includes an external service provider selected by FRIEND CCI. Together, they address the operational challenges of music festivals, offering innovative tools and gamified experiences for both organizers and attendees. 🤝🎯 🔗 What does SOTER aim to achieve? Ensure safety: Real-time analysis of crowd behaviours to prevent risks and improve emergency response. Enhance experience: Reduce wait times, streamline movement, and provide valuable performance insights to artists. Go international: Expand innovative event solutions to new markets like Japan, starting with the Tokyo Game Show 2024. SOTER takes a cross-sectoral approach, blending creativity, technology, and gamification to redefine how we manage large-scale cultural events. With a focus on digital transformation and sustainability, the project is ready to elevate European innovation to a global stage. 🚀🌏 FRIEND CCI is co-financed by the SMP program of the #EuropeanUnion.
