MAVTech Ltd
(Bolzano/Bozen, Italy)
Mavtech was founded in 2005 as a Spin-Off compony of the Polytechnic University of Turin.
Its main activity is the design of unmanned remotely piloted aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the aerial surveillance and civil land monitoring applications (including applications for precision agriculture, multi and hyperspectral image acquisition and LIDAR data).
The company provides technical solutions of high performance and customized based on the needs of the applications (included costumer support services and end-user training), based on the results of research and development projects.
Naturstudio Scarl
(Trieste, Italy)
NATURSTUDIO has decades of experience in the sector of environmental evaluation and soil-bioengineering design.
It is specialized in naturalistic analysis using environmental indicators and in research for new methodologies of expeditious analysis in the following sectors: applied botany, carbon segregation in green infrastructures and soil-bioengineering in river areas.
The company also deals with the executive design of green mitigation measures, environmental restoration and soil-bioengineering in the field of natural-hazard protection and mitigation.
Free University of Bolzano
(Bolzano/Bozen, Italy)
The Faculty of Science and Technology of the Free University of Bolzano has an active research group of Agroforestry Innovations
The activity of the research group is mainly focusing on thematic areas typical for biosystems engineering, considering the appropriate use of production technologies in agro-environmental and forestry companies.
The activities are carried out by a specialized laboratory, which is currently under construction at the NOI-Techpark. The laboratory is specialized in issues related to performance, energy efficiency and safety of tractors and operating machines used in different operating environments and conditions, as well as their agro-informatics applications. They conduct studies and develop prototypes in precision agriculture and conduct automated monitoring of products and processes with the aim to automate the production processes to become mobile. In addition, the research group is also active in the use of technologies for environmental monitoring activities and develops information systems and interpretative models to support the decision-making processes of agro-environmental companies.
