All EMERALD partners came together for the 6th General Assembly on 14–15 October 2025, hosted by our partner Fabasoft in their stunning facility near the Danube in Linz, Austria. The meeting was held in a hybrid format, allowing partners who could not travel to join remotely via Microsoft Teams, ensuring full engagement across the consortium.

Over two days, participants followed dedicated sessions for each work package. The discussions provided an opportunity to summarize progress achieved so far, plan the next steps, and address any challenges or risks, including defining backup strategies to ensure smooth project execution.

A second exploitation workshop was also held, focusing on advancing to the next step beyond the initial value proposition and stakeholder segmentation. During the session, partners worked on identifying real customers, who are not necessarily the same as the end users.

The meeting concluded with clear action points to guide the consortium toward upcoming deliverables and milestones. The collaborative spirit and active engagement of all partners highlighted the commitment of the EMERALD consortium to innovation, excellence, and impactful results.
