CivTech 9.1 - How can technology help us rapidly and accurately gather and analyse stress, pests and disease data in trees and wild plants to aid early detection at national levels?
Published
Description
The key aims of Scottish Forestry are to improve the contribution of forests and woodlands to a healthy and high quality environment and sustainable economic growth. Evidence shows that the pace and scale of tree pest and disease incursions to Scotland are escalating and will be accelerated by further trade globalisation and climate change. There is both a legal and an environmental imperative to understand, scale, prevalence and distribution of stress, pests and disease in trees and wild plants across Scotland. By using technology to gain understanding of these issues Scottish Forestry will be better placed to create and deploy interventions to minimise their impact across the short and long term. Please visit our website for information on CivTech and how to get involved: https://www.civtech.scot/how-to-apply-civtech-9 https://www.civtech.scot/civtech-9-challenge-1-disease-stress-pest-detection-in-trees-plants Lot 1: CivTech’s mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people’s lives better – and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses. CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate, CivTech’s approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you – whether you’re an individual, team or company – it’s an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You’ll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here’s the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren’t ‘single organisation’ problems – most exist worldwide. In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they’re developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator – a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech’s unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.
