EU alignment
Horizon Europe thematic areas
Cluster 4 — Digital, Industry & Space
Blockchain and AI solutions for manufacturing trust, document integrity, and industrial IoT security — directly addressing Horizon Europe Cluster 4 priorities.
Digital Health & EHDS
Tap2SOS and the COMFORTage project contribute to the European Health Data Space with NFC-enabled patient records and blockchain-secured, portable health data.
Trust & Cybersecurity (NIS2 / eIDAS 2.0)
Smart Shielding meets NIS2 physical incident response requirements; Blockchain Certificates aligns with eIDAS 2.0 qualified trust services for document authenticity.
Trustworthy AI (EU AI Act)
NEWCO AI systems are designed for transparency and explainability. All AI decisions are logged as immutable blockchain records, satisfying EU AI Act Article 13 auditability requirements.
European Blockchain Services Infrastructure
COTIC blockchain infrastructure is being mapped to EBSI for cross-border interoperability within the EU Digital Identity Wallet ecosystem and Horizon Europe trust pilots.
Horizon Europe Missions
Contributions to the Cancer Mission (patient data), Smart Cities Mission (municipal health), and Climate Mission (energy infrastructure monitoring via Smart Shielding).
AI at NEWCO
Blockchain + AI: a trust stack for Europe
We combine verifiable blockchain records with AI-powered intelligence to create systems that don't just record events — they anticipate, detect, and explain them. Built for EU AI Act compliance from day one.
Anomaly detection in IoT data streams
Machine learning models monitor real-time sensor data from Smart Shielding deployments, detecting statistically abnormal access patterns before they escalate into reportable NIS2 incidents.
Predictive health analytics
AI models trained on anonymised, blockchain-secured patient datasets identify deterioration patterns in chronically ill patients — supporting COMFORTage research goals and EHDS interoperability.
Document fraud detection
Neural classifiers flag suspicious document submissions to the Blockchain Certificates platform before cryptographic hashing — preventing corrupt records and strengthening trust for eIDAS 2.0 compliance.
Explainable AI audit trails
All AI inference decisions in NEWCO systems are written as immutable blockchain records, providing the transparency, traceability, and human oversight required by the EU AI Act.
