G42, OceanX, G-Tech and Government of Indonesia to Collaborate to Advance Ocean Research to Protect Marine Environment

Important collaboration to develop ocean research to help protect the marine environment. G42, OceanX, G-Tech and the Indonesian government have announced the signing of a letter of intent for important ocean research and to protect the marine environment.

To continue this collaborative proposition, G42 intends to deploy cloud infrastructure and large-scale services from G42 Cloud, the remote sensor-equipped drone systems of Bayanat, an ADX-listed company in which G42 owns a majority stake, and cutting-edge marine genomics applications from G42 Healthcare in support of OceanX's social welfare mission and its global marine research and media vessel, the R/V OceanXplorer, to conduct advanced and in-depth analysis of coastal and oceanic environments .

Collaboration

The Letter of Intent was signed by Mohammad Firman Hidayat, Acting Deputy Coordinating Minister for Maritime Resources, Peng Xiao, Group CEO of G42, Vincent Pieribone, Vice President of OceanX and Michel Hamilton, CEO of G-Tech.

The collaboration will support the goals of the Indonesian government, led by the CMMAI, to improve the management of marine resources, including biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, through the use of new technologies and methodologies and OceanX's broader mission to explore the ocean and bring it back to the world through educational media.

The project

The project recognizes the importance of detailed mapping of marine resources through advanced technologies to protect and preserve the ocean environment and the life of the communities that sustain it. G42 will support OceanX and CMMAI research with a focus on mapping fish farms and marine resources through data-driven e-DNA, socioeconomic and ecological characters in coastal and marine ecosystems. The collaboration proposal also includes training and knowledge transfer to build human capacity and a support infrastructure for the CMMAI.

Along with the UAE's mandate to explore and use advanced technologies to jump-start environmental conservation efforts, G42 is using its broad range of companies to develop new and better ways that both public and private organizations can address some of the climate and environmental challenges.
