6SAVA Project | Horizon Europe

6SAVA - 6thSense Asset Valorisation Action is a strategic coordination support action aimed at propelling the mature outcomes of the H2020 project SIXTHSENSE to a wider market. SIXTHSENSE developed an innovative system for monitoring vital parameters of first responders in extreme environments, reaching TRL5. 6SAVA focuses on a streamlined version of SIXTHSENSE to drive the commercialization of mature assets in Republic of Serbia (RS), Croatia (HR), and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BA), leveraging national and regional funding. This initiative empowers core SIXTHSENSE partners to capitalize on their results in the regional context. The project harnesses two distinct assets: 1) An Industry 4.0 Health Monitoring Device and 2) Comprehensive IT Solution for Firefighter Operational Management, with potential for generalisation and application across the civil protection sector. The primary objective of 6SAVA is to align technology specifications with the national smart specialization strategies (S3) and needs of local industrial actors. It will result in crafting high-quality applications for national/regional funding to support advancing these technologies toward market readiness, and enhancing technology uptake within the targeted regions. This will be achieved through workshops to engage stakeholders from the industry, national institutions responsible for cohesion policy and funding, and technology innovation drivers (universities and RTO). Additionally 6SAVA will drive knowledge transfer and technological adoption in HR, RS and BA through targeted activities developed by TECNALIA, a leading European innovation center. 6SAVA's ultimate goal is to amplify the impact of SIXTHSENSE innovations, creating a positive ripple effect throughout the region's technological landscape. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101159927.
