In the grand theatre of evolution, we find ourselves at a fascinating juncture where the pedals of natural selection seem to be subtly transferring from the hands of biological evolution to those of technological evolution. This leap, in the form of artificial intelligence (AI), is swiftly redefining the contours of…

Agriculture is a labor-intensive sector, more than 80% of farmers are smallholders- they manage farms less than two hectares in size and these farmers account for a great share of the world’s food supply — one-third (32%) of it. In the low input, small-scale agricultural production systems, women have been…

As you may have read in one of our previous Medium posts, Dtime is currently working on a desert locust forecasting tool. Indeed, for the past year, we have been engaging with various stakeholders to understand the crisis and the context, in order to build the most impactful solution possible…

Part I: Innovate UK Feasibility Funding When I joined Dtime in June 2021, I faced the task of exploring one of the many ideas our team came up with: develop an intelligent tool to equip East African farmers impacted by the desert locust invasions. Seven months later, we are launching a feasibility study funded by Innovate…

Introduction The building sector in Europe accounts for 40% of the final energy demand of which more than half is used for space and water heating. This sector has tremendous untapped potential to accelerate decarbonisation by improving energy efficiency. When it comes to energy efficiency, the state-of-the-art in existing building heating…

https://www.insider.co.uk/news/civtech-announces-accelerator-programme-participants-25193040 Our team is very proud and excited to be part of the The CivTech Programme, a one-of-its-kind government-run accelerators for digital public services. With the support and guidance from The Scottish Government Digital Directorate along with NatureScot, Scottish Wildlife Trust, Digital Office for Scottish Local Government and other stakeholders, we are developing a solution to enable easier, faster and effective data discovery. We are hoping that this solution will encourage data-driven innovation in all areas that matters to the wider public.

1. Introduction Electricity systems are increasingly becoming decarbonised and decentralised. Data and data-driven solutions will play an important role in catalysing the transition. This article aims to discover the data that matter in the context of electricity balancing. This investigation is based on the premise that, in a highly decarbonised and decentralised…
