ADVANCED COMPUTING PORTUGAL 2030

• A thriving Advanced Computing Services Economy, involving Academia, Industry, SMEs and the Public Sector;
• Portugal is a key provider of Advanced Computing Software and Services;
• Portugal as an Advanced Computing Living Lab Environment;
• Portugal is a reference in Education and Training of People in fundamental and applied
• Advanced Computing knowledge areas.

ACP.2030 is a science, innovation and growth strategy to foster Advanced Computing in Portugal in the European context, oriented towards building a high-performance computing world-reference network infrastructure. The strategy comprehends 3 main areas of intervention: to create an infrastructure of supercomputing in the country at the service of research and innovation; to develop and retain high valued people with strong advanced computing skills; and to put in place an info-structure of public policies to fill the gap between the infrastructures and people in a way that fosters the creation of high valued services and software.

HEALTH BIT

Promoting advanced computing networks for health applications, in a way to foster health services to patients in association with the massive use of datasets and data processing tools by physicians and health care units.

EARTH-SPACE BIT

Promoting advanced computing networks for earth observation and the sustainable development, in a way to foster the preservation of biodiversity through data services to citizens, government organizations and industry, in association with data banks and data processing tools for agriculture, forests, fisheries and climate-energy interaction, among other fields.

MOBILITY BIT

Promoting advanced computing networks for mobility patterns, in a way to foster data services for citizens, government organizations and industry in association with data banks and data processing tools for maritime transportation (including space driven autonomous shipping), road transportation and urban environments (including car to car communication), among other fields.

SOCIAL BIT

promoting advanced computing networks for people communication (involving online translation), social networks, behaviors and attitudes, in a way to foster social wellbeing through data services to citizens, government organizations and industry, in association with data banks and data processing tools for public services, among other fields.
