All Climate & Environmental Intelligence

AlongWave is the commercial brand of AlongRoute Data IKE, a Greek deep-tech company providing global marine-weather and ocean-condition intelligence for maritime applications. The company delivers forecasts, historical reconstructions and tailored intelligence on waves, winds and ocean currents through APIs, SFTP, standard data formats, interactive maps, visual products and specialised analyses. Its solutions are designed to integrate directly into existing maritime software and operational workflows, supporting voyage optimisation, fleet performance, marine risk, offshore operations, post-voyage analysis and other weather-dependent activities.

AlongWave develops its own multi-source marine intelligence and modelling stack, combining Earth Observation and satellite-derived data, in-situ ocean observations, oceanographic and geospatial expertise, ocean-state reconstruction, physics-aware AI, forecasting, validation and calibration. This enables the company to build a richer representation of marine conditions before translating it into operationally useful intelligence.

Earth Observation is a key component of this capability, helping strengthen the reconstruction, analysis and validation of ocean conditions, particularly where direct marine measurements are sparse. AlongWave translates space-derived environmental information into downstream marine-weather intelligence for real-world maritime use cases.

Its business model is primarily B2B, positioning AlongWave as a marine-weather intelligence layer beneath existing routing, optimisation, fleet-management and decision-support systems. Target users include voyage-optimisation and weather-routing platforms, fleet-performance and maritime-software providers, shipping and marine-risk applications, as well as offshore energy, ports, marine infrastructure, insurance and other weather-sensitive sectors. The company’s end-to-end approach allows customers to source the marine-weather intelligence, modelling, processing and delivery layer directly from AlongWave rather than assembling a fragmented multi-vendor solution.

CDXi Solutions P.C. is an impact-driven business intelligence company that offers spatial and multi-modal AI analytics to support the twin transition of public and private organizations. CDXi Solutions is a spin-off company of the Information Technologies Institute (ITI), part of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH). The company leverages AI and EO to create impactful sustainable solutions that uncover business insights in the domains of:
Water quality: In EU, more than 1.5 million water samples are analysed manually each year, with more than 150,000 being found with high concentrations of organic matter, which may lead to a more severe contamination event. CDXi provides a solution that combines deep tech with satellite data to provide in-sights on the quality of inland water resources.
Aluminium inspection (technology transfer from the space domain): Dross is a byproduct that forms on the surface of molten aluminium and can lead to significant material loss, increased waste, and opera-tional inefficiencies. Currently, dross detection and removal largely depend on manual inspection and ex-perience, which introduces inconsistency and delays. CDXi provides a solution that uses computer vision algorithms to provide insights on the state and condition of the aluminium delacquering process.
Civil protection: Exposure of citizens to potential disasters has led to vulnerable societies that require risk reduction technologies and solutions for monitoring crisis events. CDXi provides a solution that utilizes social media streams to reveal the “hidden” insights that may derive from them in crisis events.

The Section of Environmental Physics and Meteorology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) is dynamically involved in the sector of space, as far as EO is concerned. It runs state of the art research in EO and has completed several projects based on the use of EO methodologies and data in sectors such as: urban environment, climate change, air and marine pollution, extreme weather events, nature management. Recently it has expanded its activities through the exploitation of EO data for climate change adaptation and mitigation plans, the integration of nature-based solutions in the urban environment and the development of smart tools for cities. In view of accomplishing its goals, the Section uses EO data from passive and active satellite sensors of varying spectral, spatial, and temporal resolutions depending on the application area. Its staff have the needed skills, tools and experience to handle all the different scientific and technical aspects of EO-related development projects. The Section collaborates on a constant basis with the European Environment Agency and has been an active member since 2005 of the ESA – China Dragon program. Furthermore, it is member of the ESA Copernicus Relay and Copernicus Academy networks.

REDAR is a Greek deep-tech company developing lightweight optical sensing payloads for unmanned aerial vehicles, bringing space-grade measurement technology to terrestrial applications. Our first product is a methane and greenhouse-gas instrument that measures emissions through laser absorption rather than chemical reaction, identifying and quantifying leaks at their source across energy, industrial and waste sites. Engineered as a compact payload for integration on standard UAV platforms, it enables mobile, source-level emissions monitoring that fixed and handheld methods cannot provide.

The system is built around a single modular optical core: by reconfiguring the sensing module, the same platform extends across environmental monitoring, industrial safety and defence, allowing one engineering effort to serve multiple civil and dual-use markets. Incubated at ESA BIC Greece, REDAR has a working demonstrator validated in both laboratory and field conditions and is now advancing toward a flight-ready instrument.
