ClimateByte
Climate risk assessment for agriculture insurance using Big Data and Artifical Intelligence
ClimateByte is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for assessing climate risk in agriculture,
based on big data and machine learning (ML) approaches,
integrating station, model, forecast and satellite data.
By using big data and high resolution data to tailor risk assessment at the scale of single agriculture plots (about 1km2 or less),
ClimateByte provides the required technology to improve the process of pricing and monitoring insurance products
by collecting in a single place a complete set of climate-related information necessary for the risk profiling.

NUA
Downscaling tool and Extreme Event Identification for Climate Data
The NUA project targets the market of climate services specifically designed for Insurance and Reinsurance companies covering the agriculture and infrastructure sectors.
NUA is an additional feature that integrates AMIGOclimate for detailed climate-risk profiling by providing an extreme event identification and downscaling tool.
Specifically, the project will improve the technical features by enhancing the horizontal resolution of the provided information.
NUA synergizes earth observations and climate data for a high resolution climate risk assessment and forecast.
This project has received funding from the European Space Agency under contract No 4000137415/22

ClimateBuild
Mitigation Tool for Critical Infrastructure
ClimateBuild aims to develop a tool to support the construction sector in designing and maintaining critical infrastructure to cope with changes of extreme events caused by climate change.
The existing construction systems have been designed and operated according to historical climate conditions, whereas today we are increasingly experiencing climate events that deviate greatly from the baseline.
ClimateBuild will be the tool for a climate-proof construction process and targets the safeguard of building and infrastructure from flooding by providing a tool integrated with BIM to assess water inflows and outflows.

Snow Power
Climate Forecast for Hydropower Generation
SnowPower is a SaaS that enables utilities to monitor and predict hydropower generation, providing an estimate of the snow water equivalent.
The project focuses on estimating the amount of water expected to flow into the reservoir based on a snow water equivalent assessment with a short- (7-day ) and medium- term (1 to 6-month ) forecast.
The software seamlessly integrates satellite, in-situ data, reanalysis products and seasonal forecasts with three different Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for monitoring and forecasting hydropower production based on Machine Learning (ML) models.

FOCUSAfrica
Climate Service in Southern Africa
Co-designed solutions for Africa
FOCUS-Africa will develop tailored climate services in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region
for the energy, water, infrastructure and food security sectors.
The initiative, which promotes a huge engagement of stakeholders and primary players in all the sectors, aims to
1) advance the way in which climate information is processed and used in the decision-making process,
2) contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge, and
3) characterize end-user requirements and policies.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 869575.

ClimOP
Climate assessment of innovative Mitigation strategies towards Operational improvements in aviation
The future of aviation
ClimOP aims to develop mitigation strategies for a sustainable and resilient aviation and
investigates possible operational improvements that can actually have a positive impact on climate,
taking non-CO2 effects into account. Subsequently, it will analyse and propose harmonized mitigation
strategies that foster the implementation of these operational improvements.
Amigo is taking part in the assessment of innovative mitigation strategies for both in-flight and ground operations,
as well as airport infrastructures, and their interaction with climate conditions,
in order to have a better understanding of their long-term impact.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 875503.

TiPes
Tipping Points in the Earth System
Mapping the climate sensitivity of the planet
The TiPES project is focused on research and aims to better quantify the tipping elements that are present
in the climate system and to ensure that climate projections also include these.
The project will provide a generalized theory of climate sensitivity that accounts for the presence of
tipping points and feedback across various time scales. The role of Amigo is to connect the theoretical
findings and research to the market by disseminating the results and provide insights on the stakeholders’ needs.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 820970.

DESIRA
Digitisation: Economic and Social Impact in Rural Areas
Providing farmers with effective solutions
Desira is a EU-H2020 funded project that focuses on the digitalisation of rural areas in Italy.
The main objective is to improve the capacity of society and institutions to respond to the challenges and
opportunities that digitalisation generates in rural areas, with impact on agriculture and forestry.
The project aims to develop a methodology for the evaluation of digitisation trends through case studies,
living labs and data collected throughout Europe.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 818194.
