According to The Navigator Company, which led the project in conjunction with ForestWise, the three-year project represented an investment of 5.6 million euros and brought together more than 20 entities from the forestry sector, academia and research entities: “This mobilizing initiative arose from the need to develop integrated and innovative solutions that ensure the sustainable management of our forests,” says the company, adding that the research carried out led to the creation of “new products, processes and services, largely supported by digital technologies, which contribute to reducing the risk of fire. In addition, the project aimed to “improve the management and decision-making processes of forestry and energy companies, introducing a high degree of innovation in integrated forest and fire management.
