Overview
This large online matchmaking and showcase event brings together EU Mission projects and other initiatives working with marine and biodiversity data. The aim is to present DTO-BioFlow outputs, with a focus on the Demonstrator Use Cases (DUCs), and to explore how these tools and services can support the wider biodiversity data community and the European Digital Twin Ocean (EDITO) infrastructure.
Participants will gain insight into how DTO-BioFlow resources can be applied in practice, and how projects can connect, contribute, and benefit from the evolving DTO ecosystem.
The event also supports knowledge exchange between biodiversity data providers, users, and infrastructure developers, helping strengthen collaboration and long-term uptake of project outputs.
