The main goal of INNO2MARE is to strengthen the capacity for excellence of Western Slovenian and Adriatic Croatian innovation ecosystems through a set of jointly designed and implemented actions that will support the digital and green transitions of the maritime and connected industries.
The project will implement three R&I pilot projects that address some of the key challenges related to maritime education and training, security & safety in marine traffic, as well as energy conversion and management systems’ efficiency.
The first pilot project aims to advance maritime education and training and contribute to enhanced security & safety on vessels concerning fire evacuation in a ship engine room using digital technologies—specifically, an upgraded virtual reality (VR) model.
The second pilot project will focus on the development of new green energy conversion and management systems supported by AI-based digital twins with smart modelling.
The third pilot project will contribute to the safety in marine traffic by developing smart solutions for automatic detection of obstacles and state of the sea in autonomous navigation using sensor networks and machine learning (ML)-based data analyses.
