Meet eBOS
eBOS Technologies is a research-intensive, software development SME based in Nicosia, Cyprus. With a strong track record in delivering secure, scalable, and AI-driven digital solutions, eBOS supports both public and private sector organizations across Europe. The company is actively engaged in EU-funded research projects focusing on digital transformation, AI, data governance, and cybersecurity. In DELPHI, eBOS contributes its expertise toward designing trustworthy digital ecosystems that ensure secure and efficient data sharing across complex transport and logistics environments.
Can you provide an overview of your role and involvement in the DELPHI project?
In DELPHI, eBOS leads several key activities that underpin the project’s technical and governance framework. Our work spans across data management, legal and ethical compliance, secure data sharing, platform interoperability, and the integration of multimodal transport systems. We are responsible for developing the data governance methodologies, defining data specifications, and co-designing the federated system architecture that enables DELPHI’s platform-of-platforms vision.
On the technical side, we lead the design of harmonised data models and contribute to the implementation of data ingestion, orchestration, and integration mechanisms that ensure interoperability among legacy and emerging systems. At the same time, we lead the formulation of the project’s Data Management Plan (DMP), and we oversee compliance with ethical, legal, and open science principles. This dual focus ensures both innovation and trustworthiness in the services DELPHI delivers.
How do you address the complexity of integrating diverse data sources and systems into a single ecosystem?
One of the primary challenges we faced was achieving interoperability between highly heterogeneous platforms, ranging from legacy systems to modern, cloud-native architectures. We addressed this through a harmonised data specification approach and a modular reference architecture, which allows different systems to communicate using well-defined interfaces while preserving their autonomy.
How do you ensure compliance with data protection, legal, and ethical requirements in such a large-scale digital ecosystem?
Ensuring compliance in a federated and distributed context is not trivial. We had to account for a broad range of national and EU-level legal frameworks, especially related to data privacy (e.g., GDPR), drone usage, and ethical use of AI. We designed governance mechanisms that embed compliance by design, while also promoting responsible innovation and citizen involvement as part of the project’s broader impact goals.
From your perspective, what is the long-term potential of DELPHI??
DELPHI has the potential to transform the way transport and logistics platforms collaborate and share data across Europe. By providing a secure, modular, and interoperable ecosystem, it creates a strong foundation for smarter mobility services. In the long term, we see DELPHI as a reference model for digital transformation in transport, not only enabling efficiency and sustainability, but also ensuring transparency, trust, and inclusiveness across the mobility sector.
Is there anything else you would like to mention or highlight?
We are proud to contribute to a project that combines technical excellence with societal value. DELPHI goes beyond innovation; it also embodies ethical responsibility, openness, and collaboration. At eBOS, we are especially excited to see how our work in data governance and platform integration is helping to bridge the gap between policy and practice in the future of European mobility.
