About

The main objective is to develop a disruptive solution for an intelligent, optimized and automated management of aquaculture operations, in order to promote the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry in the countries of the Atlantic region. Aquatropolis is in line with the principles advocated by the European strategy for Blue Growth, with the action plan for its implementation in the Atlantic Region, as well as with the Portuguese vision stated in the document "ENM". The project is also lined up with the objectives of "European Digital Agenda", supporting the principles of the Smart Cities on the mission to colonize in an efficient and sustainable way the 71% of the planet occupied by the ocean. More specifically, "Aquatropolis" will take advantage of a series of tools already available, namely: the Internet of Things (IoT), the "fog" computational systems available on the "cloud" (SaaS), the principles promoted by the "Sharing Economy Model" and technological innovation applied to precision monitoring instruments/sensors.
