AviSense has been selected for The Digital Gate V, the open innovation programme of Athens International Airport and ACE/AUEB, and will proceed with the development and pilot implementation of its AI-powered airport situational awareness platform in real airport conditions.

The Digital Gate is a pilot-driven open innovation programme designed to connect innovative startups and research-driven teams with real operational challenges at Athens International Airport. Through the programme, selected teams gain the opportunity to work closely with airport executives, operational experts and ACE mentors to refine, adapt and test their solutions in a real airport environment.

AviSense was selected among the seven teams that will move forward to the pilot implementation phase of The Digital Gate V. This phase focuses on developing and testing pilot applications under real airport conditions, in close collaboration with Athens International Airport and the ACE support network.

For AviSense, this selection represents an important milestone in the company’s journey from deep-tech innovation to real-world operational deployment. It provides the opportunity to validate the company’s AI, multi-source sensing and XR-based decision-support technologies in one of the most demanding and safety-critical operational environments: the airport.

AviSense will work on a focused airport safety and operational awareness pilot, applying its platform to enhance visibility, coordination and early risk recognition in complex airport environments. The solution combines data from multiple sources and uses Artificial Intelligence to support airport safety and operational efficiency.

The company’s platform transforms visual, spatial and sensor data into real-time operational intelligence. By combining AI-driven perception, multi-source fusion, geospatial reasoning and XR-based guidance, AviSense helps operators and field teams better understand dynamic environments, detect hidden or emerging risks and respond faster with confidence.

In the airport context, this approach can support improved situational awareness in areas where people, vehicles, equipment and infrastructure interact continuously. The pilot will explore how AI-enabled perception and decision support can help identify safety-relevant events, provide actionable information to operators and support more proactive coordination between control-room and field personnel.

A key aspect of AviSense’s solution is its ability to move beyond passive monitoring. Instead of only displaying information, the platform aims to provide explainable, context-aware and operationally useful insights that can support faster and better-informed decisions. This is especially relevant in airport environments, where visibility, timing and coordination are critical for safety and operational continuity.

Participation in The Digital Gate V is also strongly aligned with AviSense’s broader mission: to develop AI and XR technologies that make mobility, infrastructure and complex operational environments safer, smarter and more resilient.

We would like to thank Athens International Airport, ACE/AUEB, the programme team, mentors and evaluation committee for selecting AviSense and for creating a structured pathway that enables startups to test their technologies where they truly matter: in real operational conditions.

AviSense looks forward to working closely with Athens International Airport and ACE during the pilot phase and to contributing technology that supports safer, more intelligent and more efficient airport operations.

AviSense is proud to announce its participation as a partner in XR-SENSE, a new Horizon Europe project focused on next-generation visuo-haptic media representation, coding and interactive rendering for immersive and inclusive Extended Reality. The project has officially started with its kick-off meeting, bringing together European partners to shape the future of multimodal XR experiences.

The project officially started with its kick-off meeting, where consortium partners came together to align on the project vision, technical objectives, work plan and collaboration framework for the coming years.

XR-SENSE aims to advance the next generation of Extended Reality technologies by going beyond today’s primarily visual and audio-based immersive systems. The project focuses on the integration of visual and haptic information, enabling more realistic, interactive and inclusive XR experiences where users can not only see and hear virtual environments, but also perceive meaningful tactile and physical feedback.

The project will explore new methods for representing, coding, processing and interactively rendering visuo-haptic XR content in real time. This includes technologies for immersive media, human-centred interaction, multimodal sensing, haptic feedback, user-state modelling and adaptive XR experiences.

For AviSense, participation in XR-SENSE is strongly aligned with the company’s mission to develop AI-driven and XR-enabled technologies that improve situational awareness, safety and decision-making in complex environments.

Within the project, AviSense will contribute its expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality, geospatial intelligence, cooperative perception and human-centred visualisation. The company’s role will focus on how advanced XR interfaces and AI-enabled perception can support intuitive, explainable and context-aware interaction in mobility and safety-critical environments.

AviSense brings experience from smart mobility, connected and autonomous systems, driver assistance, urban safety and real-time situational awareness. This expertise will support the project’s ambition to validate XR-SENSE technologies in application domains where immersive, responsive and trustworthy interaction can create real value.

The kick-off meeting marked an important first step in establishing the technical and collaborative foundations of the project. Partners discussed the overall architecture, user requirements, research challenges, expected outcomes and validation scenarios, setting the basis for a coordinated European effort in next-generation XR.

A key ambition of XR-SENSE is to contribute to more immersive, inclusive and human-centred virtual environments. By combining visual, haptic and contextual information, the project aims to make XR experiences more realistic, more accessible and better adapted to user needs.

We would like to thank the XR-SENSE coordinator and all consortium partners for the productive kick-off meeting and for the opportunity to contribute to this ambitious European project.

AviSense looks forward to working with the consortium to develop technologies that make XR more immersive, intelligent, inclusive and useful for real-world applications.

AviSense.AI was selected by Deloitte Greece as one of the three startups entering the 3rd Cycle of the Deloitte StartUp Acceleration Program at Brainzone, Deloitte’s Innovation Hub in Patras.

AviSense.AI is proud to announce its selection for the 3rd Cycle of the Deloitte StartUp Acceleration Program, hosted at Brainzone, Deloitte’s Innovation Hub in Patras.
