Activities
From ideas to real-world impact.
We design, test, and scale innovation through projects, local labs, and targeted initiatives.
Pleiades operates across three core activity areas — each designed to move innovation from concept to implementation.
Together, they create a connected system where research, experimentation, and real-world deployment reinforce each other.

One system, multiple layers
Our activities are designed to work together:
Projects & Research Programs
We contribute to national and European research programs, working with partners across sectors to develop and test new systems, technologies, and approaches.
These projects connect research with real-world environments through our ecosystem.
CityLabs
We co-develop local innovation labs with municipalities, creating real environments where new approaches are tested, implemented, and scaled.
Each CityLab responds to local needs while contributing to a broader model for cities and islands.
Innovation Initiatives
We lead targeted innovation pilots with partners and end-users, focusing on specific challenges and fast implementation.
These initiatives test ideas in practice and deliver tangible outcomes.
Together, they form a continuous cycle from research to implementation.
