State-of-the-Art Facilities for Industry 5.0 Innovation
Koropi Premises
The Koropi premises feature world-class office spaces and cutting-edge research laboratories, designed specifically for Industry 5.0 applications and the testing of pioneering innovations. These state-of-the-art facilities empower researchers, fostering creativity, collaboration, and the development of groundbreaking technologies that push the frontiers of science and engineering. Representing a landmark development for the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and the wider academic ecosystem, the Koropi site also serves as the home for CogniSensus, a dynamic new spin-off of the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS). Born from years of intensive research by the I-SENSE Group, CogniSensus is poised to revolutionize sensing, data modeling, visualization, and actuation technologies. Its innovative solutions are designed to enhance decision-making, operational efficiency, and training in complex environments, positioning the Koropi premises as a hub for advanced research, innovation, and industry collaboration.
