Project description
Keeping data for 500+ years
Increasing data security is a top priority in the EU. The EU-funded piqlFilm-GO project will address the global industrial and societal needs related to the rapidly increasing amount of digital data. The challenges concern the protection of sensitive data and the preservation of all data for future access. Up to 15 % of all data requires ultra-high security storage. In this context, the project will bring to market its disruptive and patented Piql System for ultra-secure storage and long-term preservation of digital and analogue data. It solves the needs of both end-clients with a focus on guaranteed data authenticity and integrity and on keeping data for 500+ years. At the core of its services is piqlFilm, a 35 mm ultra high resolution photosensitive film that has been converted into a digital and migration-free, offline storage medium.
Objective
piqlFilm-GO’s goal is to mature, scale-up and demonstrate the production of our novel high-performance piqlFilm technology (63μm PET for the base, lifetime up to +1,000 years and storage capacity up to 16m pixels per frame) to commercialise our disruptive and patented Piql System for ultra-secure storage and long-term preservation of digital and analogue data. It solves the needs of both End-clients with a focus on guaranteed data authenticity and integrity, and on keeping data for centuries.
Our Piql System is based on technology breakthroughs in converting photosensitive film into a digital, migration-free storage medium our piqlFilm. Our piqlFilm has been developed and patented thought the previous Eurostars projects ARCHIVATOR, MILOS and PRESERVIA and a Norwegian research project ASTOR.
Piql will monetize their Piql Services based on a franchising business model with 50/50 net revenue share with a network of Piql Partners responsible for selling and delivering services to End-clients. Currently, Piql has 19 Piql Partners across 22 countries worldwide, which Boneheadz Piql principal Partner in central Europe operating in Slovakia. At the upstream of the supply chain, Filmotec, and InovisCoat will generate revenue from the production of the novel piqlFilm consumable to be used by the Piql System.
By successfully implementing the piqlFilm-GO project, we will create a measurable impact on the industry-driven companies that form our consortium, quantified as accumulated gross revenue from the sale of €429.2m for the first 5-years’ post project and reach company accumulated net earnings before tax of more than €120.4m. We also expect to create more than 213 new jobs in the consortium.
