Executive Summary
Xena Vision invites European municipalities, regional public authorities, and academic research institutions to join as co-applicants for the SAFE-PARKS proposal under the DUT Call 2026.
SAFE-PARKS delivers a privacy-first, non-biometric AI safety and green-blue infrastructure stewardship framework designed to solve municipal budget and compute constraints. By utilizing Incident-Based Active Processing, the system keeps CCTV analytics idle until triggered, cutting energy consumption by up to 80–90% while requiring $0 in new camera hardware installation. Integrated with EmergencyMapXtra (the world's first emergency super app), SAFE-PARKS routes hyper-local proximity alerts to citizens and first responders, preventing city-wide alert fatigue and driving vibrant, safe usage of public spaces.
Interested entities are invited to submit a lightweight Expression of Interest before November 10, 2026.
Required Inputs for Partnership Confirmation:
-
Organization Name, Country, and EU Portal / PIC Number (if available).
-
Brief indication of preferred pilot focus (e.g., playground safety, micro-mobility corridors, river basin/parklet stewardship).
-
Signed Letter of Intent (template provided by Xena Vision).
