RTU ITI Digital Innovation Hub
Overview
Riga Technical University Information Technology Institute (ITI) is a research and higher education institution with a mission of knowledge and technology transfer to industry in the area of information technology. ITI emphasizes a cross-disciplinary approach with applications in software services, transportation, logistics, and urban development. The ITI is non-profit insititution with a mission to help companies and organization to solve complex digitalization problems and to facilitate knowledge and technology transfer to businesses and society.
The main areas of specialization are enterprise integration including advanced enterprise applications and business process improvement, development of scalable cloud solutions for big data processing, data mining and machine learning including applications in cybersecurity, IoT, intelligent transportation systems and biotechnology, modelling and optimization of complex systems, development of digital twins as well as digital transformation of organization by using advanced information technologies.
ITI provides companies with cloud-hosted test and development environments for prototyping and implementing advanced ICT solutions. Several Enterprise Resource Planning systems are available to investigate business process improvement possibilities and application integration. Cloud computing infrastructure is available to develop horizontally scalable systems and to implement computationally demanding analytical solutions. ITI’s proprietary horizontally scalable real-time data processing platform BaSeCaaS and capability-driven development methodology are provided for implementing custom context-aware and adaptive real-time big data publishing and processing services according to Kappa and Lambda architecture. HPC equipment is provided for training machine learning models and performing resource intensive simulations. A simulation modelling and digital twin development platform is available for creating models of complex systems and conducting experiments.
ITI organizes events for promoting knowledge and technology transfer to SME including industry days and a conference on digitalization at SME in cooperation with the Latvian Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development, which is responsible for digitalization in Latvia (http://iti.rtu.lv/en/research/projects/confrerence-promoting-digitaliza…).
