The InfraTech developed by Allego is a strong enabler of EV mobility in Europe. The existence of this infrastructure has enabled 414 million green kilometres and supported the avoidance of approximately 59 million kilograms of CO2 emissions in 2021.
Smart street lighting adapts to traffic and light conditions. It can use sensors to detect cars/cyclists/pedestrians and automatically adjust lighting levels along their trip.
Digital technology integrated into smart containers enable accurate near real-time monitoring and control of the condition, location and the environment of shipping containers.
This use case aims at creating a distributed, secure, reliable and smart sensing system in urban and suburban areas capable of collecting information and data to be shared with local governments and public authorities to improve management, quality and provision of public services.
Smart meters collect and transmit real time water usage data from users, which can be used for billing, improve water efficiency and enhance customer experience.
This paper introduces the Smart Region Index to assess local infrastructure gaps in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe (CESEE) regions compared with the EU.
An alternative means of conducting waste management and cleaning in stations through robots that spray cleaning chemicals (e.g. hydrogen peroxide) onto surfaces.
This report outlines how in recent years Armenia has made significant strides in reforming the water sector by developing policies, enacting laws, and drawing up plans, programs and strategies aimed at improving water service provision

Other regions have seen weaker investment in the post-COVID era (Africa, Oceania, Middle East), or remained stagnant (Eastern Europe).
