CellMembrane, a Horizon Europe project led by Irish medtech firm Smart Reactors, is developing a nanocellulose membrane that could transform the fortunes of those with lung disease around the world. “We’re taking woody plant matter, effectively like sawdust, processing it at a nanoscale level and building a scaffold that will act as an artificial lung,” explains Mark Brassil, Smart Reactor’s co-founder and CTO.

Cluster 4 Digital, Industry and Space

Edge AI focuses on implementing AI in an edge computing environment, allowing computations to be done close to where data is collected rather than at a centralised cloud computing facility or an offsite data centre. It is a key feature in many of the small devices that are found in homes, offices, factories and workspaces. Advancing this technology is the aim of NeuroSoC, a Horizon Europe funded project that includes 12 partners from 9 countries across Europe, including the UK and Switzerland.

The ability to easily connect to the internet is increasingly taken for granted in the developed world. But the latest United Nations study found that a third of the world’s population remains unconnected to the World Wide Web, with those in poor and remote areas most affected. 5G-STARDUST, or Satellite and Terrestrial Access for Distributed, Ubiquitous, and Smart Telecommunications, is a Horizon Europe-funded project that may help to tackle the digital divide.
