Scenario

Drones, robots, IoT sensors, AI, and augmented reality are reshaping the way we supervise, inspect, and maintain critical assets. From real-time monitoring to predictive maintenance, the future lies in solutions that are smarter, more autonomous, and built to scale – ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability.  

What we are looking for

We are looking for innovative solutions that can: 

- Operate effectively in complex and hostile environments (e.g. offshore sites, energy plants, confined spaces, remote areas). 
- Enable continuous monitoring and predictive maintenance
- Improve operational autonomy, data efficiency, and operator safety
- Integrate into digital workflows and comply with cybersecurity and interoperability standards

Who should apply

- Early-stage and scale-up startups, and innovative SMEs. 
- Legally registered entities worldwide. 

Challenge
