On December 15th, Imec invited all partners from the Central Supernode for the third physical workshop in Leuven. From cleanroom tours to cutting-edge sensor demonstrations and deep-dive brainstorming sessions, the day was all about collaboration and innovation. Discover how we’re shaping the future of AI in cities and communities together.

CitCom.ai had a strong presence at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, showcasing how artificial intelligence can transform European cities. Over three days, the team took part at the OASC booth, presented its connections with the CitiVERSE EDIC and the Local Digital Twin Toolbox, and concluded with an inspiring panel on adopting AI in real urban environments.

The company Gimic develops AI-based systems for automated quality control in the manufacturing industry and is the first to undergo RISE’s new Risk Assessment Analysis Service for evaluating systems in relation to the EU AI Act. The service has been developed within the framework of CitCom.ai TEF.

CitCom.ai will of course be represented at the OASC conference next year in Portugal. This year’s focus is on how funding — from EU programmes to national initiatives — can accelerate digital transformation and AI-powered urban innovation.
