RISE-SME project at ALICE Innovation Theatre

Project overview

RISE-SME is a Horizon Europe projectDemonstration sites

OLGA solutions are implemented and validated across four European airports:

• Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (lighthouse airport)
• Milan Malpensa Airport
• Zagreb Airport
• Cluj-Napoca Airport

These demonstrations ensure real-world validation and scalability of solutions.

Key innovations

OLGA develops and tests a wide range of innovations, including:

• Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) integration and traceability
• Hydrogen production and use for airport operations
• Electrification of ground support equipment
• Low-carbon taxiing and operational optimisation
• Smart and energy-efficient airport infrastructure
• Circular solutions for materials and waste management
• Air quality monitoring and emissions analysis
• Biodiversity enhancement measures

Expected results

RISE-SME will deliver:

• Risk-driven supply chain models for each ecosystem
• Quantitative tools to assess resilience
• Mapping of advanced technologies and their applications
• Identification of critical dependencies, risks, and disruptions
• Recommendations for improving supply chain configurations
• New alliance models for collaborative ecosystems

These results will support SMEs in improving their ability to anticipate, absorb, and recover from disruptions.
