SUMMARY:Switzerland Advances Community-Centered Energy Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Pilot 8 contribution to the European O-CEI Horizon project took a decisive step forward on Friday 14 November. The partners convened the Polygones community for an in-depth participatory workshop dedicated to the future of smart energy systems. \nThe session had a clear objective: to understand how citizens perceive Local Energy Communities and to collaboratively shape solutions that can genuinely be adopted by the public. Behind the technical ambition lies a human challenge: ensuring that innovation aligns with daily realities. \nWhat emerged from the workshop was a central message: the energy transition cannot succeed through top-down implementation alone. It requires dialogue\, transparency\, and the active involvement of the communities expected to live with these new systems. Participants voiced concerns\, shared expectations\, and contributed creative insights during scenario-based exercises facilitated through a Service Design approach. \nBy placing residents at the heart of the conversation\, Pilot 8 seeks to redefine how energy solutions are developed and tested in Switzerland. The aim is not only to innovate but to ensure that innovation feels accessible\, trusted\, and grounded in real needs. \nThis first workshop marks the beginning of a broader national effort. The next step will take the project to another partner: Val d’Anniviers (in collaboration with Anniviers Tourisme SA and local stakeholders). There\, the discussion will continue in a mountain setting\, offering an opportunity to explore how Alpine communities envision their energy future.

SUMMARY:AGRITECHNICA
DESCRIPTION:Zetrack at AGRITECHNICA 2025: Showcasing the Future of Autonomous\, Sustainable Agriculture \nZetrack participated in AGRITECHNICA 2025 in Hanover\, Germany\, the world’s largest trade fair for agricultural machinery\, where the company presented the new autonomous\, driver-optional prototype Zetrabot 1.1\, equipped with removable batteries. Designed to enhance productivity and sustainability in vineyards and a wide range of crop environments\, Zetrabot captured strong attention from farmers\, industry leaders\, and potential partners. \nA major highlight was the introduction of Zetrack’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. Together with leading partners and specialists\, Zetrack implemented an innovative system of interchangeable\, rentable batteries for agricultural vehicles. This approach replaced fixed-capacity battery designs\, typically more expensive and less flexible\, with a model that allows farmers to adapt energy autonomy to real operational needs. With additional batteries available for rent only when necessary\, the solution reduced total ownership costs while supporting zero-emission farming practices. \nThrough its presence at AGRITECHNICA 2025\, Zetrack demonstrated how Zetrabot represents a significant leap forward for precision agriculture\, combining autonomy\, sustainability\, and flexibility to empower the new generation of farmers. \nZetrack will further develop and use Zetrabot during Pilot 6 of O-CEI Horizon.

SUMMARY:EU-JAPAN DIGITAL WEEK 2025
DESCRIPTION:Europe and Japan are advancing trusted data exchange through Data Spaces and Data Free Flow with Trust\, respectively. Europe is establishing industry-wide Data Spaces in several key sectors (like Health\, Mobility\, and Energy)\, while Japan focuses on enabling secure data sharing across entities. \nO-CEI adopts Data Space technology as a foundation for its Cloud-Edge-IoT Continuum\, referencing initiatives like Gaia-X\, IDSA\, and implementations such as SIMPL and EDC. \nOn April 4th\, during the “Towards Interoperable Data Spaces – Practical Considerations” workshop\, Martin Bauer (NEC Laboratories) will present a case study on the Experience of implementing an EU-Japan cross-data space.  \nDue to the need for technology sovereignty of the countries and regions\, EU and Japan have developed their own protocol stacks for creating data spaces.  Given the strongly connected economies\, the need for connecting different data spaces across borders has become obvious. This project is probably one of the first experiments that is connecting a Japanese data space with a European Data Space using a technology concept nowadays called Data Space Intermediaries. The guiding use case is carbon accounting along the supply chain of a product assembled from parts in Japan and the EU. The talk will report on the technical approach taken and will also highlight fundamental problems in data space concepts and related standards that prevent a 100% legally compliant connection of the two data spaces.
