Of our previous demonstrator projects, those focusing on highlighting and exploring emerging technologies have been particularly popular with our industry partners. These include projects introducing Blockchain, Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning, for example. Following this success, CeADAR decided to refresh the demonstrator projects programme with a brand new programme called the Lighthouse Project Programme for the next round of projects.
