X, the moonshot factory’s Post

I'm truly grateful for this incredible chance to visit a sea exploration vessel and learn firsthand how marine research is conducted. A big thank you to Tanoto Foundation for this once-in-a-lifetime experience! The OceanXplorer educational tour, led by OceanX, was a rare and eye-opening experience that deepened my understanding of ocean exploration and conservation. One striking takeaway was learning how much ocean trash—like discarded nets—hampers sea exploration. Not only do these pollutants affect the quality of samples collected, but trash like nets can also get tangled in deep sea vehicles, causing significant disruptions. It's a stark reminder of the impact human activities have on marine ecosystems and the vital research being done to protect them. Let’s all do our part to keep our oceans clean! 🌍 Small actions, like properly disposing of trash or volunteering for beach clean-ups, can make a big difference in protecting marine life and supporting critical ocean exploration efforts. To learn more about OceanX and their impactful missions, be sure to check out their website and social media. Together, we can help ocean explorers achieve their full potential and preserve the seas for generations to come!

More power to India!

🌊 Last week, north.io made waves at two major events in Busan, Korea: the Ocean Tech Conference and the 18th World Ocean Forum. At the Ocean Tech Conference, our Solutions Engineer Dr. rer. nat. Simon van der Wulp introduced our cutting-edge platform, TrueOcean, showing how it’s revolutionising ocean data management and driving innovation in marine infrastructure protection. At the World Ocean Forum, organised by Gabler Korea, our CEO, Jann Wendt, shared how AI and dataspaces are key to solving the world’s biggest environmental challenges, and presented our flagship projects, Marispace-X and Fish-X, which are leading the way in sustainability and marine innovation.

Iliad Coordinator Babis Ipektsidis from Netcompany-Intrasoft presented the EU-funded project at the ECOP Wednesday webinar on DTOECOPs Warm-Up: Shaping early careers' perspectives of Digital Twins of the Ocean. His presentation, entitled, Iliad: Digital Twins of the Ocean: Developing virtual representations of the sea integrating earth observing, modelling and digital infrastructures to provide predictions of future developments "at sea", focused on the project’s key points and future road map: - Creating a digital twins of the ocean that are interoperable with other data infrastructures, such as Copernicus and EMODnet. - Building an open marketplace where data, algorithms, and predictive capabilities can be hosted and evaluated. - Providing solutions to some of the big challenges facing the ocean, such as pollution and overfishing. - Setting a training and education program for users of the new technologies. - Supporting the development of business models for individual digital twins.

On August 27th the first cooperative meeting between MISSION Project and DYNAPORT project went down in Copenhagen. The focus was on collaboration between these two EU Horizon projects, ensuring effective coordination and information sharing to achieve the best possible outcomes. Particular attention was given to the following topics, in which cross-project collaborative working groups already are established: - Common process model, - Standard terminology, - ICT standards and architecture, - KPI definitions and impact assessment of voyage and port call optimization, - Nautical safety risk assessment.   Thanks to all participants from both projects to make it a great and fruitful event! Looking forward to seeing the impact of this cooperation! 🚢 🚀 #mission, #portcalloptimisation, #dynaport, #justintime, #Co2emissionreduction, #EUHorizon DYNAPORT is funded by the European Union. https://dynaport.eu.

Last week I met in Brussels some of our #TESCluster colleagues, leveraging a synergies identification initiative 🤝🏼 launched by the CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency and which gathered 12 currently ongoing #TES related #EU projects🇪🇺. Although one of the main differences between the 12 projects resides in the plethora of applications 🔬 of the technologies, all of them have common aspects that need to be faced 🎯. Technological challenges of the solutions development 🛠️, economic obstacles 💸 for a future market inclusion or social readiness 👥, to name but a few. The #TESCluster, conformed by ECHO EUproject, BEST-Storage, HYSTORE PROJECT EU and led by ThumbsUp in this year 2024, will support the CINEA on the committed joint actions 📝, leveraging the already gained experience as a good example of a successful clustering initiative 💡. There is strength in unity and this initiative is promising. Let's see how we can move forward together from now on! 🚀 INTERSTORES USES4HEAT Project RESTORE Project SCO2OP-TES project PUSH-IT GeoSmart Project SEHRENE EU CEEGS project Veolia España
