Topnetwork is committed to promote and carry out innovative research projects co-funded by European, national and regional Public Entities. In partnership with important Research Centers, Universities and Industrial Enterprises, we convert research ideas into scientific surveys and advanced technological solutions, ranging from feasibility analysis to the architecture of the potential product, to the creation of the prototype.
We are Founding partners of the Samothrace HUB, led by the University of Catania, the Main Proponent. The team is composed of 25 members including public entities (Universities and Research Centres) and private economic stakeholders (predominantly IT companies).
All activities deal with micro and nano technologies, microelectronics, materials, microsystems and devices. The methodologies and applications are based on the following six major areas: energy, health, smart mobility, environment, cultural heritage and smart agriculture. Samothrace’s goal is to have an impact far beyond the industrial sector.
Research activities benefit from modern Artificial Intelligence technologies, such as Deep Learning, Augmented Analytics, Self-Supervised Learning, Transfer Learning, Computer Vision). We are to use nanotechnologies integrated with additional sources of information in order to generate data. Those data are processed across the entire Data Value Chain. The access and processing of raw data generates new findings to support research and to create innovative territorial services.
Start: October 2022
End: October 2025
Project is aimed at realizing a marketplace of innovative analytical and predictive services, addressed both to Public Administration and private players.
The marketplace catalog includes services like digital twins for predictive maintenance of infrastructures (e.g. bridges, tunnels, railways), policy simulators for government administrators (e.g. mayors that want to simulate politic decisions and plans), companies evaluations (for investors or banks).
By developing the Data Value Chain (from data ingestion to analytics services catalogue), the provided services transform the consistent availability of Data into social and economic value.
Through innovative models of interaction, communication and collaboration (eg open innovation and co-creation), the Datafactor platform will provide a collaborative knowledge platform that will allow a deep and immersive knowledge for the different types of users.
The Datafactor services are going to manage both national and international Open Data, in order to reach international markets and various size customers.

In the context of Smart Building, the system will offer home control and home protection services (e.g. against thefts, fire, flooding), support for the elderly and non-self-sufficient people (e.g. people with disability) and home health care (e.g. chronically ill people).
In the Smart Agriculture sector, Living IoT will provide advanced crop monitoring and management services, planning of activities in agriculture, intelligent irrigation, management of the distribution processes for agricultural products, traceability of products in the supply chain, management of safety in the transport of goods.

The project Assioma(ASSIstenza per bambini Ospedalizzati basata su Mobile Application: Assistance for Hospitalized children based on mobile application), is a software platform based on mobile technologies to provide innovative services to support medical care for children who are hospitalized.
The COST program allows researchers and primary operators in the field of innovation to cooperate and develop together their ideas in any scientific and technological sector, included social and humanistic studies. The project COST Underground4value, which TopNetwork is part of, aims to develop and add value to the potential of underground archaeological areas through the foundation of entrepreneurial hubs and local.
The purpose of the project is to develop a system of simulation for policy choices that can be used easily and allow to predict and view the potential socio-economic impact of the public policies that might be adopted. The simulation system allows the political operators to experiment with different socio-economic plans, with the participation of citizens and all the potentially affected parties, before applying the policies.
NEMESYS is an research project for industry and experimental development conceived to provide solutions for SMEs and business networks enabling digital procedures, information sharing, use of cloud computing and methods for dematerialization to optimize the process, easing marketing and commercial activities, rationalize access to common information.
Prototype software conceived to manage virtual resources in a Cloud Datacenter through advanced features of “Live Migration” for virtual machine between physical hosts. The project PLATINO aims to design and develop a software platform capable of supply services and multimedia contents (i.e. Video Streaming, Video Conference, IP-TV, Cloud applications).
