SOFTMOVE

State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG) is a partner in the SOFTMOVE project, a project co-financed by the Interreg IPA South Adriatic Program 2021-2027, and the European Union through the Pre-Accession Instruments (IPA III) as a cross-border cooperation program between Albania and Montenegro.

 

The SOFTMOVE project partners are ASIG, DTA Distretto Tecnologico Aerospaziale (IT) and NVU Digital Den.

 

SOFTMOVE aims to build cooperative relations and international partnerships that promote the use of drones, focusing on the operations and implementation of innovative aerial services and the use of space services, in order to respond to the needs of citizens in future cities (smart city), of the IPA area. Knowledge and capacity building are essential to improve the capabilities of the South Adriatic area in the use of drone technologies and to propose solutions to the problems of smart cities. The development of knowledge on unmanned aerial systems will be able to generate a positive economic impact on the domestic industry, thanks to the active participation of start-ups and SMEs that will be able to combine technologies and interdisciplinary skills.
