All Climate & Environmental Intelligence

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.

The Laboratory of Forest Management and Remote Sensing (FMRS) of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) carries out research and educational activities in the fields of Forest Management and Remote Sensing. FMRS specialises in geospatial and EO applications in the broader fields of environmental monitoring and management of natural ecosystems, with particular emphasis on forestry and agroforestry. One of the main objectives of FMRS is the development of advanced methodologies and pre-operational/operational processing chains.
