Construction of Innocenter has started.
The idea is that the whole EGTC region (0,5 million people and 100.000 students) of Vasa-Umeå will benefit from the project.
It will be "The Place" where digitalization (both automatization and disruptive innovations) are implemented in workprocesses, transactions, logistics, administrations, healthcare and education.
The Center will help companies, individuals and start-ups conquer the world. Literally, but also in heart and mind.
The idea is to create new professions and future jobs where digitization with AI (Artificial Intelligence) is at the center.

Our customer Lee Yaw On send greetings from Nepal, Mount Everest.
“They are many circuits offered in Nepal. It is best to engage a Nepal local tour agent to organise the trip.
The guide and his assistant are responsible to the point where they
watched the cooks to prepare our meals. They make sure we were served
fresh foods so that we would not get stomach upset / diarrhoea.
I can recommend our Nepal local agent : Mr Cheban Devkota at manaslutrek@hotmail.com
Porters and thick sleeping bags are part of the package.”

TagItSmart
Consortium, where UpCode plays an important role, has been selected as one to receive funding from EU's Horizon 2020 ICT-30-2015
Consortium, which includes 15 companies/universities around the EU (University of Surrey, Fujitsu, Siemens, Durst and VTT,etc…) received almost 7 millions euros funding for the next three years. Competition was tight in ICT-30 call, as 150 consortiums applied but only 7 were selected.
With this funding consortium will develop smart, tags driven, service platform for enabling ecosystems of connected objects in project called TagItSmart. TagItSmart sets out to redefine the way we think of everyday mass-market objects not normally considered as part of an IoT ecosystem. These new smarter objects will dynamically change their status in response to a variety of factors and be seamlessly tracked during their lifecycle. This will change the way users-to-things interactions are viewed.
UpCode’s role in this consortium is to provide its knowledge from optical code, mobile applications and platform development into consortiums use.

Yhteenliittymä, jossa UpCodella on merkittävä rooli, valittiin saamaan EU Horizon 2020 rahoituksen ICT-30-2015
Yhteenlittymä, joka koostuu 15 yliopistosta/yrityksestä EU:n alueelta mm. Surreyn yliopisto, Fujitsu, Siemens, Durst ja VTT, valittiin 150 hakemuksen joukosta 7 rahoitusta saavaan joukkoon. Yhteensä yhteenliittymälle myönnettiin 7 miljoonan euron rahoitus seuraavalla kolmelle vuodelle.
Tämän rahoituksen turvin yhteenliittymä kehittää älykkään, koodeihin pohjautuvan, palvelualustan (TagItSmart) joka toimii ekosysteeminä älykkäille objekteille. TagItSmart tuo Internet of Things (IoT) –pohjaisen ajattelutavan massamarkkinoille, tuotteisiin joiden ei aikaisemmin ole ajateltu kuuluvan IoT-maailmaan. Nämä uudet älykkäämmät objektit muuttavat dynaamisesti tilaansa riippuen erilaisista ympäristötekijöistä kuin myös tuotteen elinkaarivaiheesta. TagItSmart muuttaa käsityksemme tuotteen käyttäjän välisestä vuorovaikutusta.
UpCoden rooli yhteenlittymässä on toimia kooditeknologia-, mobiliisovellus- ja järjestemäasiantuntijana.
