Instituto Tecnológico de Informática (ITI)

The Instituto Tecnológico de Informática (ITI), is a Spanish Research & Technology Organization specialized in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), established in 1994 by a joint initiative of the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia (UPV), the Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness (IVACE), and a group of companies in the ICT sector.

ITI Research and Innovation activity is developed by a team of more than 180 technologists (researchers and technicians), and is focused on 6 main digital enablers: Big Data (Data Analytics and Data infrastructures), AI (Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision for inspection and surveillance), Optimization systems (for forecast, planning and scheduling), IoT (Industrial wireless systems), Cloud Computing (Automated platforms and Distributed Computing), and Cyber-Physical Systems (Sensors, Embedded Software, Real Time Systems). With a combination of all these enablers, ITI is providing solutions to different domains: IT industry, Manufacturing (Industry 4.0), Society (Health 4.0, Tourism, Cities, Buildings), Transport and Agriculture 4.0. All this activity confers ITI the possibility to give the following offer: access to infrastructure and technology platforms, access to specialist expertise on digitisation & applications, collaborative research for Industry needs, demonstrate best practices, training and education, showcase technologies in pilot factories, fab-labs, support experimentation in real-life environments.

ITI is the competence centre that leads The Data Cycle Hub, a AI DIH focused on the data value chain located in the Valencia region, and selected as one of the 3 Spanish DIHs for the European AI DIH Network. ITI also provides a Big Data Space offering infrastructure, tools and data for research and experimentation with Big Data Technologies, which has been awarded with the BDVA i-Space Silver label.
ITI was selected in 2017 and again in 2019 as one of the providers of the Activa Industria 4.0 SMEs assessment program of the Spanish Industry DG, assessing more than 20 manufacturing companies towards their digital transformation. ITI has been identified as European IoT and CPS competence centre within the I4MS programme and is participating in S3 Platform for Modernization of SMEs.
