Sevilla TechPark, under the authority of the Ministry of University, Research and Innovation, continues to make progress on the global Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) project, aimed at implementing measures to transform the park into a decarbonized, sustainable, and energy self-sufficient site, in line with the objectives of the eCitySevilla initiative. The technology park has today launched three new preliminary market consultations, focused on the smart digitalization of the park: digital infrastructure, data platform, and an event, emergency, and security management system with a digital twin.

The preliminary market consultations aim to open the door to participation from private companies, specialized in various sectors, in future public procurement procedures. In this way, companies that wish to do so can submit their proposals for the implementation of these measures, so that the contracting authority (in this case, the managing company of Sevilla TechPark) can take them into account in the public tender.

With the launch of the 12 lines included in the PPI process (to which the Ministry has allocated a total of €19.8 million through the ERDF Andalusia 2021–2027 Programme), Sevilla TechPark will become a leading urban laboratory, testing products or services that do not yet exist on the market and that could be applied to other urban environments.

The preliminary market consultations published today represent a total budget of €3.88 million and share a common goal: to improve the operational efficiency, security, and sustainability of the park through the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, and cloud computing.

One of the three proposed lines focuses on the implementation of an event, emergency, and security management system using a digital twin and area protection. A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object that integrates real-time data, which can be collected through sensors or data analytics technologies

This system would make it possible to simulate scenarios, anticipate risks, and automate responses to situations such as large crowds, thanks to the use of advanced computing, 5G networks, and artificial intelligence tools. The budget allocated to this line is €660,000.

The second preliminary market consultation refers to the development of an interoperable and scalable digital infrastructure that enables the active and continuous management of the park. This infrastructure should facilitate collaboration between entities, promote environmental sustainability, and bring intelligence to buildings by integrating sensors, communication networks, and real-time analytics platforms. The amount allocated to this challenge is €2,160,000.

The last of the lines published today focuses on the need to create a control room based on an open data platform accessible to the companies within the park. This platform must allow for the visualization and analysis of real-time data, facilitating strategic and operational decision-making. It represents a commitment to transparency, interoperability, and the use of artificial intelligence to optimize the park’s resources. This line has a budget allocation of €1,060,000.

Natural or legal persons, whether public or private, may submit proposals to these consultations, either individually or as part of a consortium. The submission period will remain open until September 29.
