During its first meeting, held on October 30 at Tecnalia and organised by BASQUENERGY Cluster in collaboration with project partners, representatives from Aclara-Hubbell, Ariadna, Arteche, i-DE, Ingeteam, Merytronic, Ormazabal, and ZIV shared their concerns and insights regarding the vulnerabilities of digital equipment and assets within the electricity grid, as well as the secure exchange of information between operators (DSOs) and manufacturers, tailored to the needs of both parties while preserving data privacy, confidentiality, and intellectual property.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Business Committee of the Elkartek VISTA project<\/a> \u2013Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in the Smart Grid Supply Chain<\/em>\u2013 held its first meeting at Tecnalia’s headquarters on October 30, as part of the communication, dissemination, and results transfer activities coordinated by BASQUENERGY Cluster within the project.<\/p>\n

The session, organised by BASQUENERGY Cluster<\/a>, served as a meeting point between the project’s technological partners \u2013 Tecnalia<\/a>, the University of Deusto<\/a> (through the D4K Group \u2013 Deusto for Knowledge<\/em><\/a>) and EHU<\/a> (through the ISG Group – Intelligent Systems Group<\/em><\/a>)\u2013 and the Business Committee.<\/p>\n

Throughout the session, the partners presented the technological objectives of the project tasks, and dialogue spaces were opened where attendees could share their impressions and assessments on the strategic orientation of the different research lines proposed. Furthermore, the applicability of current research in the companies’ business areas was evaluated, and specific technological challenges were identified, along with concrete contributions that the Business Committee can provide to support the partners during the project’s course.<\/p>\n

The VISTA Business Committee comprises a distribution system operator (i-DE<\/a>), acting as the leading company in the value chain and leader of the GRID4Industry Transformative Project, which encompasses VISTA; six manufacturers of electrical\/electronic equipment of various types and functionalities (Aclara-Hubbell<\/a>, <\/em>Arteche<\/a>, Ingeteam<\/a>, Merytronic<\/a>, Ormazabal<\/a>, and ZIV<\/a>); and a software<\/em> development company specialising in the application of AI and data analytics technologies to the electricity grid (Ariadna<\/a>). As an external advisory body, the involvement of these companies is crucial to ensure the transferability of project results to the industrial fabric of Euskadi.<\/p>\n

The VISTA project has commenced its activities with the objective of generating a technological framework that enables the protection of the smart grid supply chain without compromising manufacturers’ intellectual property, while simultaneously ensuring asset traceability, integrity, and proactive detection of cyber threats.<\/p>\n

By 2027, BASQUENERGY Cluster will coordinate the first Technology Transfer Workshop with companies from the Electricity Grids sector, where partners will present their progress, gather feedback on its potential interest for attendees, and aim to guide the work lines and research of the VISTA project by considering company contributions, with the goal of involving them in development and fostering future collaborations based on these results.<\/p>\n

\"\"ABOUT VISTA<\/strong><\/p>\n
