NTC Now - Operationalizing Biodiversity Data: From Infrastructure to Insights
About This Session
Join the Nature Tech Collective for an in-depth conversation with David Jirout of Illuminum and Luke Emblem of Verdant Metrics as they unpack the collaborative work based on data from Gaia Eco.
This session explores how a strategic partnership between Illuminum AB and Verdant Metrics helped operationalise Gaia Eco's data
Key Topics We'll Cover
Building a Scalable Environmental Data Stack: Learn how Illuminum AB architected a modular, high-integrity tech infrastructure to support real-time ecological monitoring.
Nature Intelligence in Action: See how Gaia Eco blends spatial data, biodiversity signals, and field insights to offer stakeholders meaningful, decision-ready outputs.
Ecological Impact Quantification: Explore how Verdant Metrics translated ecological signals into aligned reporting metrics - including biodiversity, water, and carbon indicators.
Project Co-Development Across Teams: Understand the collaborative dynamics and operational models that enabled multiple stakeholders to co-design and iterate on complex environmental systems.
MRV for Ecosystem Services: Dig into the monitoring, reporting, and verification tools used to track nature-positive outcomes across different intervention zones.
From ESG to Regenerative Value: Examine how nature tech can go beyond compliance and disclosures to deliver regenerative value in landscapes, supply chains, and finance.
