GEC – Thinking Edge and Cloud ahead: Innovation Lab with German Edge Cloud
The GEC Innovation Lab
Infrastructure and data are recombined in increasingly distributed systems and data spaces. This poses new challenges: How do I exchange data with other participants securely, confidently and in compliance with policies? How can systems be implemented in real-time and with a low environmental footprint? How can such distributed and heterogeneous systems be controlled and managed as autonomously as possible? These and other questions are addressed by the German Edge Cloud (GEC) and Fraunhofer ISST in their strategic cooperation.
DSSC – Data Spaces Support Centre
The Data Spaces Support Centre establishes and operates a support platform for data spaces in order to implement the goals of the "European Strategy of Data". The Data Spaces Support Centre will create interoperability between data spaces and thus enable the reuse of data across sectors. In doing so, the values of the EU will be fully respected, thus making a major contribution to the digital ad-vancement of the European economy and society.

Strategic research projects
CCIT: Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Internet Technologies
The Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Internet Technologies CCIT re-searches cognitive technologies for the industrial Internet. Researchers in various disciplines are developing key technologies along the value chain, from sensors to intelligent learning methods in data processing to the cloud. CCIT helps companies with the forward-looking design of their business by opening up market access with cognitive solution services and products.
"Data Competence Center for Cities and Regions" - Open Urban Data Platform as Key for Digital Transformation
How can cities and municipal enterprises use urban data efficiently, transparently and profitably? With the "Data Competence Center for Cities and Regions" (DKSR), a project of the Fraunhofer Morgenstadt Initiative was spun off at the beginning of 2021. Using an open-source approach, the DKSR supports municipalities in locating municipal data, retrieving it in a structured manner and sharing it securely. Four partners from the Fraunhofer Morgenstadt Initiative worked with municipalities to develop a platform offering as the basis for the city of the future.
Diagnosis Data Management bei Thales
Industrial data management and data use is becoming more and more important in increasingly digitizing processes. For example, a company-specific way of centralized and decentralized data management must be found and operational responsibilities must be clearly defined. A functioning data management system is of strategic importance for business processes such as customer service.
Fraunhofer ISST in the Fraunhofer Morgenstadt Innovation Network
Since the beginning of May 2021, Fraunhofer ISST has been a member of the current innovation network "Morgenstadt:City Insights", which currently consists of 17 cities, 15 industrial companies, 11 Fraunhofer institutes and 6 strategic partners. Together, the network develops ideas, tests solutions and launches new projects to realize CO2 neutral, livable and resilient cities.
InDaSpacePlus: Industrial Data Spaces Plus
Global digital networking is ongoing. This makes new business models, smart ser-vices, and innovative service offers possible. The secure exchange of data in value chains is a prerequisite. Meanwhile the calls for German and European solutions in the highly competitive market for industrial cloud-based solutions are getting ever louder.
High Performance Center Logistics and IT
Scientific institutions based in Dortmund that – on their own – are already shaping and driving logistics research today are working together under the umbrella of the High Performance Center Logistics and IT. In the High Performance Center, they are now establishing a national infrastructure and innovation ecosystem in cooperation with industry, not only together but also synergetically – from fundamental research to applied research.
