Embed2Scale represented at AI + Environment EcoHackathon

Embed2Scale’s partner IBM Research represented  FAST-EO at the AI+Environment EcoHackathon kickoff, organised by the ETH AI Center and GainForest.

The EcoHackathon is focused on sparking interest in environmental conservation and developing solutions to tackle pressing environmental challenges using AI and data visualisation, with a specific aim towards the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest.

During the EcoHackathon kickoff, IBM Research highlighted their contributions through the FAST-EO initiative, bringing to the forefront their expertise in geospatial foundation models and leveraging advanced AI capabilities. These technologies are supported by high-performance computing environments to address complex ecological issues effectively.

As part of this initiative, FAST-EO will support participants with its expertise in geospatial foundation models and large-scale AI, enhanced by high-performance computing. The most promising projects from the hackathon will have the opportunity to be run on a supercomputer sponsored by the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, part of Forschungszentrum Jülich.
