UPM INNOVATION

UPM Innovation is the research think tank of Université Pour la Méditerranée (UPM), a consortium based in France that promotes scientific cooperation and dialogue in the Euro-Mediterranean region. Created in 2024, UPM Innovation aims to foster knowledge and translates complex scientific and and technological research into actionable policy recommendations. Acting as a hub for collaboration between researchers, policymakers, governments and the private sector, it provides evidence-based research underpinned by a multidimensional and inclusive approach. The think tank focuses predominantly on research around the applications of emerging technologies in healthcare, education and financial services as well as the key partnerships in the Euro-Mediterranean region leading to the acceleration of access to essential services. Its research also examines the ethical dimensions associated with emerging technologies and provides potential recommendations to mitigate issues linked to data privacy and data ownership, security, transparency and accountability, sustainability, data bias and fairness.
