The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, in collaboration with the Government of Aragón, organises the next edition of the Cluster Collaboration Labs in Zaragoza, Spain, on 19-20 March 2025. The C2Lab is a workshop-style event where you will have the opportunity to meet new partners, discuss your project ideas, and initiate collaboration – for example to apply together for a European call. You can either join with a concrete project proposal or offer your expertise and knowledge by joining others.
C2Lab Zaragoza will unfold alongside The Wave 2025, Aragón's premier digital technology showcase, which captivated over 2,500 participants in its past edition. This unique synergy allows C2Lab attendees not only to engage in collaborative project development but also to immerse themselves in the cutting-edge innovations featured at The Wave. All C2Lab participants will enjoy full access to this flagship event, amplifying opportunities for networking, inspiration, and exploring transformative digital solutions
What are the topics of the C2Lab?
This edition will focus on defining and developing projects with a strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) applied across various sectors, functional areas and strategic priorities. As a starting point for the joint project creation, we have defined the following challenges:
- AI for Net Zero Technologies: Leveraging AI to drive sustainability and meet the EU green objectives. Development and integration of Net Zero technologies, renewable energies.
- AI for Industrial Transformation and Competitiveness: Enhancing production efficiency and supply chain optimisation through AI in manufacturing processes.
- AI for Healthcare Innovation: Improving diagnosis, personalised treatments and healthcare delivery while ensuring privacy, security, and ethical compliance.
- AI for Dual Use Technologies: AI innovations that serve both civilian and defence purposes, ensuring ethical, secure, and sustainable applications.
- AI for Smart Cities: Addressing local challenges through AI, such as urban planning, mobility, and smart cities.
- Collaborative AI Infraestructure: Building shared platforms and resources to foster innovation and cluster collaboration.
- AI for Crisis Management: Developing AI solutions for anticipating and responding to crises like natural disasters and pandemics.
- Your own project idea: You bring and present "my own project" related to other European priorities.
Each participant will choose one of the challenges to work on with their fellow peers during the C2Lab.
The goal is to have a project roadmap at the end of the C2Lab that your team will further implement and bring to an application to a public call or alternative funding opportunities.
