Aveiro laboratory city for new technologies
The city of Aveiro has been home to a 5 km² digital test park, kilometers of fiber optic links, reconfigurable radio units, an experimental 5G network and numerous sensors for some time now.
The creation of this first living laboratory in Portugal is one of the components of the project AVEIRO STEAM CITY which is part of the Urban Innovative Actions.
These are no less than 16 km of fiber optics that have been deployed in this project that involves 34 companies in the field of technology and information and communication. This development represents a total budget of 6.1 million euros of which 4.89 have been given by the European Cohesion Policy.
During the Tech Week that took place from 12 to 18 October in Aveiro, the city became a showcase of applications in the areas of mobility, environment and energy.
