Greece’s Ministry of Digital Governance has awarded German startup OroraTech a €20mn contract to build a satellite-based early warning system for wildfires, which last year alone cost the Mediterranean nation almost two billion euros in damages. The national defence system will consist of four thermal satellites and a network of ground sensors and processing services. OroraTech will develop it in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) and several Greek universities and companies. A spin-out from.

The UK leads Europe for generative AI patent filings — but Germany is closing the gap. That’s according to new data from the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), a UN agency that tracks patents. WIPO today released a report on 54,000 GenAI inventions from the decade ending in 2023. Over 25% of them emerged in the last year alone. The findings show that China has built a wide lead in...

In yet another blow to big tech, the EU is charging Meta with breaching the bloc’s sweeping online competition rules, known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Alongside Google and Apple, Meta is among the tech giants (designated as “gatekeepers“) required to comply with the landmark law as of March this year. A mere two weeks after the act kicked in, the European Commission opened an investigation into all three... Read more ›

ITER — which is set to become the world’s biggest fusion reactor, and one of history’s most expensive science experiments — has reached a key milestone on its mission to create a mini Sun on Earth. But despite the apparent progress, the megaproject has also been hit by yet more delays and surging costs. Nineteen giant magnetic coils — each measuring 17 metres tall and weighing 360 tonnes — have... Read more ›

ITER, set to be the world’s largest experimental fusion reactor, has been delayed yet again. The €25bn megaproject will only switch on in 2034, and start producing energy in 2039. That’s almost a decade later than originally planned. Thirty-five nations including the UK, US, China, and Russia launched ITER in 2006 to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion power. But startups may end up beating them to it.... Read more ›

A new EU project plans to expand adventures in the cosmos with a suitably space-age technology: lasers. The INPHOMIR initiative is developing the lasers to enhance spacecraft sensors. By emitting tiny pulses of light, the devices could improve the precision of satellite navigation. Their accuracy stems from their resistance to the harsh conditions of space. When vicious fog and dust descend upon satellites, traditional sensors are often impeded. These disruptions... Read more ›

As far back as December 2013, the European Council called for the member states of the European Union to develop their defence capabilities and so enhance the “strategic autonomy” of the EU. Since then, the idea that the term encapsulates has come up time and again. In 2016, it was made part of the EU’s Global Strategy doctrine. It was promoted again in late 2020, championed in particular by France.... Read more ›

Remember when during the 2017 crypto-craze a beverage company renamed itself “Long Blockchain” and saw its stock price quintuple? Today, much like back then, you’d be hard pressed to find a company that isn’t shouting from the rooftops about adopting the transformative technology du jour, i.e. artificial intelligence. Those building AI tools and hardware are basking in investor and media attention, whereas those using them are quick to boast about... Read more ›

Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands is testing an unusual kind of battery that could prove to be a better, cheaper way to store wind and solar energy. Developed by US startup ESS, the device is known as an iron flow battery. The airport is currently trialling the technology to power some of its electric ground power units. These machines provide electricity to parked planes to run systems such as lights,... Read more ›
