Activity profile: INOV

INOV was founded in the course of a broad strategic restructuring started by INESC in 1998, which aimed to create new entities specialising in different areas of activity in order to be capable to respond in a more consistent way to current challenges of the market.

During this process, INOV concentrated in its structure a significant share of the Electronics and Telecommunications Strategic Area of activity of INESC in Lisbon, inheriting wide recognition by the society of the technological merits of its remarkably professional environment – due to evidently successful results in the technology transfer servicing for existing or emerging companies.

In this context, INOV positions itself in the market as the biggest Portuguese technological infrastructure in the field of the Information Technology, Electronics and Communications, as a successor of great assets arisen from extensive knowledge and experience implicitly provided by the maternal environment – INESC.

Some of the projects that INOV has participated in are: Olympic (Olympics Multimedia Personalised for the Internet Community), OPERA (Open PLC European Research Alliance), AIRNET (Airport Network for Mobiles Surveillance and Alerting), SENSATION (Advanced Sensor Development for Attention, Stress, Vigilance & Sleep / Wakefulness Monitoring), UbiSec & Sens (Ubiquitous Sensing and Security in the European Homeland) and My eDirector 2012 (Real-Time Context-Aware and Personalized Media Streaming Environments for Large Scale Broadcasting Applications).
