The SPICE Transformation and Innovation Consortium is Developing a New Generation of Intelligent Data Platforms. VUJE is on Board

This initiative is funded by the European Union through the Recovery and Resilience Plan of the Slovak Republic. Activities officially launched in April 2025 and will continue for 30 months. The project is part of call no. 09I02-03-V01: Transformation and Innovation Consortia. SPICE brings together ten partners from Slovakia, Poland, Spain, and Austria, coordinated by the renowned Slovak company InterWay a.s..

Core Objectives and Technology

The project aims to build an intelligent, secure, and AI-driven platform for data flows. This platform supports advanced decision-making across the emerging computing continuum—from the cloud to the edge and IoTenvironments.

Unique Architecture: At its core, SPICE focuses on developing an architecture capable of efficient, transparent, and accountable processing of massive amounts of diverse data.

AI Integration: Utilizing Artificial Intelligence, the platform will enable the creation of intelligent data pipelines and tools for high-performance data processing and optimized resource management.

"In SPICE, we want to develop a unique knowledge platform for distributed data flows across the entire computing continuum... The platform is designed to enable secure, transparent, and efficient decision-making for industrial and scientific purposes, allowing Slovak companies to gain advanced digital capabilities and access to new innovations," said Peter Kišša, CTO of InterWay, a.s. and Lead Architect.

VUJE’s Contribution

The primary focus of VUJE within the SPICE project is on the intelligent analysis of data for the transmission and distribution of electricity. They are designing environments for designers, engineers, managers, and researchers in this field using tools developed by the SPICE partners.

Structure and Pilot Applications

The project is organized into 18 Work Packages (WPs) covering system architecture, decentralized data management, and resource provisioning. These packages also ensure alignment with European initiatives, such as the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and common European data spaces.

The success of the project will be validated through five pilot application areas:

• Manufacturing 
• Energy transmission 
• Smart grids 
• Radiology 
• Histopathology 
• Strategic Impact

Through top-tier research and a collaborative structure, the SPICE consortium seeks to accelerate Europe’s digital transformation and strengthen its position in advanced data-driven and AI-based innovations. Peter Kišša emphasizes that the collaboration of experts from four countries is expected to deliver practical results that remain viable long after the project concludes.
