Brief Challenge Description After a prolonged period in the sea, various microorganisms accumulate on FISH nets, clogging the mesh holes, hindering oxygen circulation, and impeding proper fish respiration. To maintain net cleanliness in the sea for a more extended period, we apply a special coating, Antifouling (containing copper oxide). This approved material, certified for sea use, ensures environmental compliance.
Expected Results from the Solution Creating an even more ecological material for net infusion poses a significant challenge for the AQUACULTURE sector, aiming to further protect aquatic environments. The goal is to develop a new net infusion material that is equally or more effective than the existing one, keeping the nets clean in the sea while concurrently safeguarding the aquatic environment.

Digital Moisture Measurement Tools for Cottonseed Mass
BIOS AGROSYSTEMS ABEE
Brief Challenge Description The objective is to measure the moisture content of cottonseed from loading to ginning. Testing occurs at a depth of approximately 1 meter at the center of the transport medium. RF sensors, sized like SIM cards, have been employed at the research level. Placed at the center of the load, these sensors provide information on the product's moisture. They could also offer identification and tracking details. The sensors are single-use and discarded with the cotton ginning by-products.
Expected Results from the Solution
The development of RF sensors and a portable device for monitoring moisture levels, enhancing efficiency and precision in the cotton ginning process.
Brief Challenge Description A three-dimensional visualization of part or all of a facility, including buildings, infrastructure, networks, and equipment, connected through a unified database. This aims to document, operate, and maintain a production unit while providing training for employees. Leveraging modern visualization and data aggregation technology at a relatively low cost per TB, all relevant documentation is systematically attached to each point of interest and control.
Expected Results from the Solution
An integrated and transparent enterprise database containing roles, documents, risk analysis, and activities.
Reduction in paper usage. Systematic, real-time visualization of changes, interventions, and activities. Virtual environment training capability. Minimization of risks for personnel and the environment.

Terminals and Warehouses
ΟΛΘ Α.Ε.
Brief Challenge Description Developing a dynamic and cooperative time window truck appointment system is pivotal for the logistics and supply chain. The specific collaboration among the trucking companies and the Container Terminals’ management is oriented to be significantly improved, by resolving the truck scheduling challenge and by enhancing efficiency and overall reliability. The aspiration is to tackle custom gate delays, to reduce costs by diminishing the waiting times and to lower fuel consumption and emissions.
Expected Results from the Solution It is crucial to integrate a comprehensive platform supplemented by a mobile app, based on AI algorithms and real-time data. The projection is to spread the information regarding the traffic patterns, the cargos, and the appointments while the incorporation of a blockchain technology and the historical data analysis adds a further value to its security, transparency, and flexibility, ultimately leading to a more productive and sustainable logistics framework.
Brief Challenge Description Initially, the energy requirements of ISOMAT's central facilities need to be calculated based on the factory's production schedule. Subsequently, the software will propose the optimal energy mix combination from the grid, photovoltaic stations, and waste processing. Regarding waste processing, the thermogenic power and derivatives resulting from their treatment must be calculated to achieve complete reuse and zero waste.
Expected Results from the Solution The anticipated software is expected to generate statistical data and analyses showcasing the benefits derived from this specific process in reducing our carbon footprint.
