Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

BeeOimpact, including the BeeOgarden mobile app, is a cutting-edge SaaS solution designed to empower companies and public entities in assessing biodiversity risks and opportunities across their sites or assets. This AI-powered platform leverages recognized datasets, satellite imagery, and over a decade of monitoring data from more than 100 sites to provide comprehensive, site-specific assessments. BeeOimpact not only identifies risks but also recommends actionable strategies to mitigate them, centralizing the management of these actions across multiple sites.
With BeeOimpact, users can prioritize sites based on biodiversity impact, streamline compliance with sustainability regulations, and make informed decisions that enhance ecological and economic returns. Ultimately, BeeOimpact aims to empower everyone to take meaningful action in protecting and regenerating biodiversity, fostering a sustainable future for all.

Trabajo realizado desde el comienzo del proyecto hasta el final del período abarcado por el informe y los principales resultados hasta la fecha

• developed a Smart beehive solution, integrating various sensors to monitor additional environmental parameters and improve our suite of ecosystem monitoring solutions
• developed and requested a patent for an innovative computer vision model and imaging hardware to automatically detect pollen, ie flora.
• developed and piloted a mobile app to empower citizens and green space managers to map and improve local biodiversity
• co-developed and launched a B2B ML/AI powered risk assessment and action-oriented platform, correlating our 10 years of biodiversity data with additional datasets/layers, satellite imagery and models.

Avances que van más allá del estado de la técnica e impacto potencial esperado (incluida la repercusión socioeconómica y las implicaciones sociales más amplias del proyecto hasta la fecha)

Our project has achieved significant advancements that extend beyond current industry standards and practices.
The integration of smart beehive solutions with advanced sensors enables unique monitoring of environmental parameters, providing a more comprehensive understanding of ecosystem dynamics.
The development of a patented (ongoing process) computer vision model and imaging hardware for automatic pollen detection represents a leap forward in flora identification technology. This system enables much faster and efficient biodiversity assessments compared to traditional methods.

Our mobile app empowers citizens and green space managers to actively participate in biodiversity mapping and improvement efforts, fostering community engagement and democratizing environmental stewardship. This tool is a pioneering approach to citizen science, enhancing local biodiversity management through user-friendly technology.
The B2B ML/AI-powered risk assessment platform correlates a decade of biodiversity data with additional datasets, satellite imagery, and models, providing a holistic view of environmental risks and opportunities. This platform not only improves decision-making processes but also offers actionable insights that drive sustainable practices across industries, setting a new standard for data-driven environmental management.

Our key priority is now to scale the commercialization of these solutions and their impact.
