EvoRoads’ consortium consists of 20 partners from all over Europe and with different backgrounds. To understand what’s behind EvoRoads and how it is relevant for citizens and other stakeholders we are launching a series of interviews with the project’s team. Today, we introduce the project’s Scientific Technical Coordinator, Frontier Innovations.
Can you tell us a little about your organisation?
Frontier Innovations is an IT solutions SME at the forefront of technological advancement. Our expertise spans smart cities, Industry 4.0, and intelligent transport systems, where we focus on integrating cutting-edge solutions for urban development and industrial modernization. Our mission is to expand the digital frontier by delivering impactful innovations that help businesses and governments make data-driven decisions. Through strategic collaborations and transformative projects, we are shaping the future of urban landscapes, improving infrastructure, and driving sustainable growth globally.
What prompted your organisation to join the EvoRoads consortium? What is the role of your organisation in the project?
We are excited to be part of the EvoRoads consortium as the Scientific Technical Coordinator, perfectly aligning with our passion for smart mobility and making roads safer! With our expertise in connectivity platforms, mobility data spaces, and intelligent transport systems, we saw this project as a fantastic opportunity to contribute our skills to developing advanced safety solutions. In EvoRoads, we are thrilled to lead the integration of monitoring systems and proactive safety warning technologies, helping road operators boost safety and efficiency. Our work proudly supports the EU’s Vision Zero initiative, driving innovative solutions for safer, smarter roads across Europe.
Which outcome is your organisation looking forward to the most?
What excites us most about EvoRoads is its potential to make a real difference for everyone. In Greece and beyond, road safety is a topic close to our hearts and, alas, lived reality, so we are eager to contribute to an improved situation. This goes beyond business goals – it is about using our expertise in connectivity and safety platforms to create real, lasting change. For us, it is not just about technology – is about making a tangible impact on people’s lives. We believe wholeheartedly that EvoRoads will play a key role in transforming road infrastructure and urban mobility, paving the way for more connected, efficient and sustainable communities.
Which aspects of EvoRoads do you think are going to be the most impactful for citizens and why?
The most impactful aspect of EvoRoads for citizens will be its ability to proactively identify risks and improve road infrastructure in real-time. By integrating advanced monitoring and safety technologies, EvoRoads will help prevent accidents before they happen, making roads safer for everyone. Additionally, the project’s use of data-driven insights will nudge both road operators and citizens toward safer driving behaviours, fostering a culture of safety. Smarter, more connected infrastructure will also lead to smoother traffic flows and more efficient mobility, reducing congestion and improving quality of life. Ultimately, these innovations will create safer, more sustainable communities where citizens can feel secure and confident on the road.
Would you like to draw attention to anything else?
We would like to highlight the critical role of the Safe Mobility Data Space (SMDS) that EvoRoads will develop, which aligns closely with the EU’s initiative to foster data exchange via “data spaces”. As the leader of this task, Frontier Innovations is committed to contributing to the research community and advancing innovation in the data ecosystem. The SMDS will aggregate diverse data sources, from connected vehicles to video streams and social innovation instruments, ensuring seamless integration, harmonization, and secure data sharing. EvoRoads aims to build a robust, interoperable platform that not only supports safe mobility but also enriches data to unlock new insights, benefiting both the industry and citizens alike. This initiative, we believe, is key to advancing the future of data-driven safety and mobility across Europe.
