🙏 🚀 🙌 refinq gains FFG support for its advanced “Nature Intelligence Hub”: Elevating Biodiversity and Climate Analysis 🧬 🌍 🛰 We're excited to share that refinq has been awarded a significant grant of € 480,000 from the FFG Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH, Austria's premier agency for research funding. This endorsement by one of Austria's most distinguished research funding bodies reinforces our dedication to leading in technical and scientific realms. This funding will enable us to substantially advance and fortify our Nature Intelligence Hub for biodiversity, ecosystem and climate risk analysis. Our objective with the Nature Intelligence Hub is to support companies in assessing their environmental impacts, dependencies and risks, while facilitating cost-efficient data collection, while also aiding them in complying with complex environmental regulations and frameworks like TNFD, CSRD, ESRS, SBTN, etc. The Hub is developing into a comprehensive All-in-One solution, not just offering insights into nature, but also affecting corporate decisions and the transparency of environmental impacts & dependencies within their locations and value chain. At the heart of our initiative is the provision of AI-enhanced nature data through the aggregation, validation, and processing of information from diverse sources, including on-site data, geospatial information and satellite imagery. Our ambition is to fill data voids and provide improved insights for reporting metrics, biodiversity and climate compatibility assessments and financial impacts. We express our sincere thanks to the FFG for their confidence in our vision and are eager to continue our efforts, which hold immense significance not only for the realm of science and technology but also for the conservation of our planet.
