Bridging the rescue culture through digital audiovisual transformation with 5G and NextGen technology

Our focus is on deploying advanced NextGen networks at the SOS non-profit organization’s Head Office to enable seamless digital transfer for sea-air-land hybrid monitoring using 5G and satellite technology. By implementing a best-in-class, 5G-ready private wireless network that enhances connectivity and efficiency for our training and search-and-rescue (SAR) operations, we will be able to remotely provide even air medical assistance—via real-time video conferencing—in hard-to-reach locations, including onboard helicopters and other aircraft..

In 2020, we are building a Creative Innovation Lab with a Roof Top Indoor Mission Control Center and Outdoor TV Studio that will feature New Amazing Web TV Series is for vertical and aerial rope access and rescue operations and initiatives. Over the years, we studied and paid attention to the very different approaches to dealing with diverse cultures about life-saving priorities and held public discussions on the Future of rescue and the programming of  AI technology to deal with this issue. One of our latest involvements on the topic was during the Dubai World AI Show, which took place at the Address Hotel near Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure in the world.   This is why we have decided to build a Creative ILab to involve the New Generation of Europeans with a more uniform perception of  the exciting digital showcase of the world of rescue:

• Problem-solving approach: Addressing challenges for the cultural and creative sectors. Participants and communities will involve youngsters as
  co-creators of the new problem-solving results.
• The user experience will be of paramount importance in scoping the problem. Through new technology, we can reach out to wider and younger audiences through more personalized and interactive experiences. Discoverability, curation, promotion, awareness raising activities will be developed by the avant-garde approach to bridge content and audiences.
• A multi-disciplinary Tech-neutral: Technology will be addressing the key problems and will let the participants choose the technology that is best suited to address a particular problem.
• Innovation focus: The Creative ILab will support innovation as regards the creation, distribution and promotion of creative content, addressing cross-sectoral collaboration as well as the use of enabling technologies.
• Experimentation: The Lab will provide a safe space for experimentation, including recognition of the risk of failure. Innovation is inherently unpredictable and therefore, it will be possible to adjust the activities in the lifetime of the project (flexibility built in);
• New Collaboration models: the project will help bring together established players from among different creative industries, with emerging ones, including creative and tech start-ups, and provide them with a space where they can exchange, share and co-create;
• Possible themes: Education: cultural and creative operators need to learn more about the possibilities offered by cross-sectoral collaboration and technology;
• Results-driven: The value of the results of supported actions will be assessed according to economic, social and/or cultural criteria. 

Building a digital friendly ecosystem for culture and creativity

W will go out of the comfort zone, reach out to new creative digital/tech players and test out new ideas. We will develop an ecosystem favorable to greater collaboration and innovation between all different stakeholders.

• Information: more information will be made available to the cultural and creative sectors about all EU programs relevant to the creative industries
• Networking: Through our International Vertical Access Network, companies, organizations and creatives will meet and explore possible areas of cooperation. For this we will establish a new platform and portal to facilitate information exchange, networking and dissemination via new media channels will be explored.
• Dissemination: Success stories of innovation and collaboration will be showcased to share the results, promotes take –up of new forms of content and business models and inspire new projects.
• Training: Lack of knowledge of how the new technologies function is a barrier to innovation. New  interesting training platforms for interaction between the CCS and the tech community will be addressed.
