HTP COMPETITION

The ocean, which covers more than 70% of the world, is what makes life possible and allows people and communities to develop. It has always protected us from the effects of rising temperatures and CO2 levels in the atmosphere, but it is now under attack. The competition's goal is to spark debate on the development of innovative ocean sustainability concepts that incorporate satellite data and technology... For the ultimate prize, six finalists submited their ideas to a live panel of experienced judges. The winners of the competition received a reward pool of £20,000, as well as over £85,000 in satellite data and cloud computing services... A concept that blends machine learning and satellite photography to give information on illicit, unregulated, and unreported fishing in Africa, as well as to address the problem of ocean plastic pollution.
