Research & Innovation Projects
Shaping the Future of Intelligent Urban Systems
At the IDHUS Institute, we lead and participate in research and innovation projects that explore how artificial intelligence, data science, and digital technologies can drive sustainable urban transformation. Our work bridges theory and practice—turning advanced research into actionable solutions for smarter, more resilient, and inclusive cities.
We collaborate with universities, public institutions, technology companies, and international organizations to develop projects that address key urban challenges: from predictive mobility and energy optimization to climate-tech resilience and ethical data governance. Each initiative contributes to building a new generation of intelligent, adaptive, and human-centered urban systems.
