On June 17th, Arkeocean, the Cyprus Marine and Maritime Institute (CMMI), Lanego and SignalGeneriX Ltd signed a research and development agreement to co-develop a solution called ‘EONIOS’, a micro-AUV swarm system with AUV docking stations integrated in nature-based artificial reefs. The EONIOS system will explore and protect designated underwater areas including marine ecosystems and biodiversity.
The agreement was signed at EUROSATORY, the global defence exhibition in Paris, during a ceremony at the Cyprus Pavilion, in the presence of government officials representing both France and Cyprus. This agreement follows the recent signature of a two-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the same parties to establish cooperation in marine and maritime research and innovation and to cultivate proficiency and knowledge in the marine and maritime sectors.
The signature of ‘EONIOS’ showcases the commitment of Arkeocean, CMMI, Lanego and SignalGeneriX to contribute to the advancement of the marine and maritime industry in the Mediterranean and beyond, while strengthening the bilateral relations between France and Cyprus in areas of paramount importance such as research and innovation in marine and maritime science and technology.
