- Full Description
-
A technology-based company in Madrid, Spain, emerged as a spin-off from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) after 20+ years of research in ocean dynamics. It specializes in ocean modeling to predict the behavior of spills and drifting objects at sea, offering real-time forecasting and backtracking capabilities.
Its scalable SaaS product addresses environmental, social, and economic challenges, supporting government agencies, coast guards, and environmental organizations in maritime safety, coastal protection, and pollution management. The company targets key areas such as oil spills, Search & Rescue (SAR), algae blooms, and plastic waste.
The Challenge: marine and coastal regions face increasing threats from oil spills, pollution, climate-induced disasters, and human activity. Effective response requires high-resolution forecasting tools, which are often lacking in existing solutions. Current models lack accuracy, real-time adaptability, and comprehensive data integration, leaving stakeholders with limited contingency planning capabilities.
Technology & Expertise: the company offers:
● Ocean Modeling: High-resolution, three-dimensional hydrodynamic models simulating currents, tides, and temperature changes.
● Spill Prevention and Operational Tracking: Real-time oil spill prediction and management.
● Forecasting & Contingency Planning: Predictive models, real-time simulations, and scenario analysis.
● Data Integration & Visualization: Remote sensing, satellite imagery, and interactive dashboards.
Collaboration & Impact: the company seeks partnerships with coast guards, environmental agencies, and defense organizations to enhance maritime safety, develop pollution control strategies, and secure coastal areas. International cooperation fosters knowledge exchange, localized solutions, and strengthened response capabilities, ensuring long-term resilience in marine environments. - Advantages and Innovations

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The organization seeks to establish collaborations with a range of partners, including coast guards, government departments responsible for environmental protection, and defense agencies. The role of the partner will vary depending on the type of partnership but will focus on tasks that leverage advanced ocean modeling and real-time data technology to enhance operational effectiveness, environmental impact, and security measures.
Tasks to Be Performed by the Partner
1. Coast Guards
Coast guards are vital partners in deploying high-resolution hydrodynamic models and search and rescue (SAR) capabilities. Their tasks include:
● Integrating advanced ocean modeling tools into current operational systems for enhanced maritime boundary surveillance and environmental monitoring.
● Utilizing real-time SAR technology to support search and rescue missions, ensuring quick response to emergencies in coastal and offshore regions.
● Collaborating to tailor hydrodynamic models to specific regional requirements for improved accuracy in predicting maritime hazards, such as oil spills or extreme weather conditions.
● Providing real-time feedback on system performance to help refine technologies for future use.
2. Environmental Departments
Government departments focused on environmental conservation will play a key role in using cutting-edge technologies to safeguard ecosystems. Their tasks include:
● Deploying predictive tools to monitor and manage oil spill risks, marine pollution, and other environmental hazards.
● Collaborating on the development and implementation of contingency plans for disaster response, including real-time data visualization tools.
● Using hydrodynamic models to predict and mitigate the impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels and coastal erosion, on vulnerable areas.
3. Defense Agencies
Defense agencies will work with the organization to strengthen national security measures in maritime zones. Their tasks include:
● Integrating real-time monitoring solutions into their surveillance infrastructure to detect illegal activities such as smuggling, unregulated fishing, or unauthorized vessel movement.
● Utilizing SAR technology for coordinated search and rescue efforts in cases involving military or humanitarian operations.
● Assisting in the customization of tools to meet specific defense-related requirements, including interoperability with existing technologies and systems.
