Power of Innovation and Technology
ICARUS Datathon
JOIN US ON 22-23 June 2021
WHAT IS ICARUS
ICARUS aims to deliver a novel framework and architecture that leverages data, primary or secondarily related to the aviation industry, to help companies and organisations whose operations are directly or indirectly linked to aviation (e.g. airports, airlines, IT aviation companies, aircraft equipment industries, extra-aviation service providers, tourist agencies, health and epidemics monitoring agencies, etc.) to simultaneously enhance their data reach, as well as to share / trade their existing data sources and intelligence, in order to gain better insights into airplanes’, airports’ and passengers’ quantified selves and contribute to improving their operations and increasing passengers’ safety and satisfaction.
“Unleashing the value of Big Data by making it meaningful”
Big Data from airlines, airports, aircrafts, and extra-aviation service providers, combined with open linked data (e.g. for weather, environment, population, etc.) have the credentials to reassess the mentality of the aviation ecosystem, by early predicting critical failures, and maintenance needs, optimizing flight paths, rescheduling routes at real-time, improving operational efficiency, serving a seamless ground/air passenger experience, safeguarding the environment, and monitoring safety and risk threats.
THE OBJECTIVES OF THE DATATHON
The main objectives of the ICARUS Datathon are to test the platform and functionalities and features, and explore and create new innovative methods of solving problems in the aviation industry. The participants would have the opportunity to access big data from in industry, and identify potential problems, and create the solutions with the use of the technology of the ICARUS platform.
Such a novel project poses a fascinating opportunity for data enthusiasts, to put meaning into numbers and become part of the elite group of problem-solvers in the aviation industry, and industry that currently needs more creative solutions than ever before.
