Innovation in action at the DREAM Project event!

On April 2nd, we had the pleasure of joining our partners from the DREAM Project in an exciting event in Ruse for a truly exciting event showcasing innovative environmental solutions!

The event kicked off with insights from the Lead Partner, University of Ruse “Angel Kanchev”, who guided us through the project’s key achievements so far. From the completed design of the integrated monitoring system to the acquisition of essential components, including the water-quality monitoring station, UAV subsystems, and the vessel’s electric propulsion and renewable energy systems - the progress is truly impressive.

🚤 One of the most interesting moments was discovering the monitoring vessel itself: how it was built, how the systems were integrated, and how it will operate within the broader environmental monitoring process.

🚁 Another highlight came from the National Research and Development Institute for Gas Turbines COMOTI, who introduced the DREYE UAV drones. These smart drones can monitor air pollution, noise levels, and other environmental indicators — both day and night, thanks to their night-vision capabilities. Seeing them displayed at the university made the experience even more real (and exciting!)

🌊 The day continued at the Ruse riverfront, where we witnessed the official launch of the monitoring vessel, a key milestone for the project and a major step toward real-time environmental data collection. Seeing it up close was a truly special moment and we can’t wait to watch it in action during the testing phase!

💡 Overall, the event highlighted how innovative technologies can support faster responses to pollution, smarter decision-making, and stronger cross-border cooperation.

🚀 We are very excited to follow the next steps of the DREAM Project and see these solutions fully operational!
