With one of the largest private computer science research teams in Slovenia and over 80 research projects under our belt, we are thrilled to announce our involvement in three exciting new research initiatives: O-CEI, MARE and QBIQ. These projects will push the boundaries of security, quantum computing, and IoT, reflecting our dedication to shaping the future of technology.
Building Smarter, Safer, and More Connected Systems
While each project addresses unique challenges, they share a common goal: creating advanced solutions that tackle real-world problems and have a meaningful impact on society. Here’s a quick look at each project:
- O-CEI (Open Cloud-Edge-IoT Platform for Large-Scale Pilots): This project aims to accelerate the adoption of innovative Cloud-Edge-IoT solutions, enabling efficient cross-domain data sharing, reducing energy consumption, and fostering open standards. XLAB is leading the integration efforts and contributing secure software deployment methodologies and ML-based electricity demand predictions.
- MARE (Programmable Security Plane for 6G Ecosystems): MARE is focused on enhancing security and privacy in the upcoming 6G networks. The project aims to deliver a secure environment for next-generation communication platforms, ensuring trust and reliability. XLAB plays a critical role as a runtime and deployment security expert.
- QBIQ (Quantum Solver for Binary Quadratic Problems): This initiative is pushing the frontiers of optimization by developing quantum and hybrid solvers for complex problems that underpin industries like logistics, finance, and energy. XLAB’s role is to pilot and test these groundbreaking solutions.
Driving Innovation Across Borders
These projects exemplify the collaborative spirit of European research, bringing together leading organizations, researchers, and innovators to address global challenges. From ensuring secure communication in a hyperconnected 6G future to reducing energy footprints through IoT, and advancing quantum computing’s practical applications, these initiatives will have far-reaching benefits for industries and society worldwide.
Why It Matters to XLAB
At XLAB, research is more than just a priority; it’s part of our DNA. Our participation in these projects reinforces our commitment to staying at the forefront of technological progress and making meaningful contributions to the global tech community. By working on O-CEI, MARE, and QBIQ, we continue our mission to shape a smarter, safer, and more sustainable world.
