INESC-ID is a partner of INCM, the National Printing House and Mint, to apply an electronic archiving and a translation model to the on-line publication of the national official gazette (DRE.PT).
INESC-ID evaluated, for the first-time, the entire Portuguese electric grid’s reliability and used the obtained high-resolution results to set the ceiling to improve the regulatory standards for the continuity of service, to be set by the National Energy Services Regulatory Authority (ERSE).
INESC-ID was involved in designing the National Strategy for Cyberspace Security 2019-2023, organized by the Nacional Security Office (GNS).

HeartGenetics is a company developing activity in genetics and computational biology, ie., a digital health company that adds intelligence to genetic data. Founded in 2013, it has grown and it now includes partners besides Portugal, in Spain and in the Netherlands, in Europe and in Brasil.
VoiceInteraction was formed in 2008 by INESC-ID researchers. Its first highlight was the automatic captioning of broadcast news for Portugal’s national TV, but its impact in other sectors, such as courtroom and meeting transcriptions, is growing significantly.
Infrastructures
INESC-ID is the leader of Biodata.pt, the Portuguese distributed infrastructure for biological data, that supports the national scientific system through best practices in data management and state of the art data analysis.
It interfaces with both academia and industry, making research available for innovation, namely in sectors such as agro-food and forestry, sea, and health.
Biodata.pt is also the Portuguese node of ELIXIR and includes ELIXIR services such as training programme and computing facilities, as well as consulting services in data analysis and management, and a number of community services.
