How can AI and big data help reduce energy consumption, cut emissions, and build more sustainable industries and communities?
COSMIC is a European project bringing together industry leaders, technology providers, and innovators to develop and scale AI-driven solutions that support the EU Green Deal. With 15 pilots across Europe, COSMIC demonstrates how advanced technologies can optimise energy use, improve resource efficiency, and accelerate the green transition.
WHAT WILL COSMIC ACHIEVE?
15 pilots testing AI & data-driven solutions across multiple industries
10-20% reduction in energy consumption in buildings, industry, and transport
Up to 27 AI-powered solutions tested in real-world settings and can be scaled
Increased renewable energy use, making communities more energy-resilient
WHERE WILL COSMIC MAKE AN IMPACT?
COSMIC is tackling key challenges in energy, industry, transport, and resource management through eight innovation areas, each driving AI-powered sustainability solutions.
Each pilot is designed around one of these areas, applying and testing data-driven innovations in real-world settings. See COSMIC in action across Europe.
THE COSMIC PROCESS
Selecting innovations through Open Calls
We fund innovative AI & data-driven solutions from startups and SMEs and apply them to sustainability projects across different industries.
Testing and integration in pilots
Selected innovations are deployed alongside existing core technologies in our 15 pilots, optimising energy and resource efficiency in real-world conditions.
Scaling up for long-term impact
We ensure solutions are scalable and replicable, sharing results with industries, policymakers, and communities to drive widespread adoption.
