MARISPACE-X
Maritime Smart Sensor Dataspace
Timeframe: January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2024
Funding: € million
north.io GmbH is responsible for the development and provision of the data space. The focus here is on the processes of data procurement and data management. north.io is also responsible for the development of a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application layer that processes and analyses sensor data and facilitates access to and analysis of the data. This ensures that the application is specifically tailored to the various use cases to meet the needs of the users.
The project Marispace-X includes five central maritime use cases: Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT), Offshore Wind Energy, Munitions in the Sea, Biological Climate Protection, and Critical Infrastructure.
Marispace-X is an application-, business- and environment-orientated project funded by the BMWK with a total budget of 15 million euros. The aim is to revolutionise the collection, management, visualisation and analysis of maritime data at European level. In a world where maritime data is collected by numerous stakeholders and made available on different platforms, Marispace-X provides a uniform standard and a central platform to handle this data securely and efficiently.
The project addresses a key challenge of the digital transformation in the maritime sector: the heterogeneity and fragmentation of data standards. By building on the principles of Gaia-X - data sovereignty, security, interoperability and modularity - Marispace-X creates a digital maritime data space that facilitates and optimises collaboration between different stakeholders.
Marispace-X integrates big data technologies and enables complex analyses that have so far mainly been found in commercial, often unregulated applications. By creating a standardised, regulated environment, the project is helping to improve the quality and reliability of maritime data analyses. This not only promotes scientific research, but also economic applications and innovations in the maritime sector.
The Fish-X project is co-funded by the European Union (European Union's Horizon Europe Programme).
