Project description
Unlocking value from the blue economy with marine monitoring technology
Environmental impact assessments provide decision-makers with data on how to best manage the ocean’s resources. Planblue, a tech start-up based in Bremen, has developed innovative marine monitoring technology to elevate the standard of seafloor monitoring, thus improving the quality and transparency of the data to which all stakeholders have access. The EU-funded BLUESURVEY project will develop a pioneering hardware-software system for the automated, accurate, objective, and detailed mapping of seafloors. The project will exploit an already developed lease-license strategy to spread the technology, including the DiveRay and the SeafloorAtlas, to the key stakeholders in the blue economy.
Objective
Planblue has created the very first Underwater Satellite to bring our oceans into the Data Age. BLUESURVEY is a cutting-edge hardware-software system that allows for the automated, accurate, objective and detailed mapping of our seafloors. Our technology will revolutionize the way that thousands of surveys and environmental impact assessments are performed every year to provide decision-makers, like governmental entities, fisheries, and coastal managers, with completely new data on how to best manage the oceans resources to avoid reaching a tipping point. We have already developed a strategy to make BLUESURVEY widely available to the seafloor monitoring industry via a lease-license strategy and have confirmed a massive interest from the market to have access to our technology to enhance and protect 2.5T in ocean assets. We are requesting 2.5M from the EIC for the innovation activities needed to realize our ambitious vision to make BLUESURVEY the new standard in seafloor monitoring.
