- 24. Conclusion European Commission premises, DG CONNECT, 29th September 2014, Brussels)
- 25. Conclusion why is FAO engaged • FAO has launched global Blue Growth initiative Encompasses EA, Food Security, Ecosystem Services Increasing need for holistic evidence base No one institution can serve these policy needs in isolation • iMarine appears the right answer to an obvious demand Project was successful to create business link with community 3 to 4 opportunities for iMarine services each month Developing software is not FAO’s mandate FAO is not a funding institutions FAO wants to build on EU’s know-how for offering global services • A sustainable platform is required European Commission premises, DG CONNECT, 29th September 2014, Brussels)
- 26. Conclusion Project results are very encouraging partners mindset set Momentum • iMarine will maintain baseline operations beyond project end • iMarine business model components will be finalized by end 2014 • Call for strategic partners of iMarine advisory and steering Boards • Growth is the unique viable scenario for medium term Funding support is required for growth iMarine partners will work to raise various funding sources European Commission premises, DG CONNECT, 29th September 2014, Brussels)
- 27. Time for Open discussion Your opinion on the presented model is welcomed and some guiding questions: What role can your organization play in this model How to best organize community Governance structure What is EC strategy for strengthening data infrastructure landscape? Distributed and modular vs centralized ? What about a marketplace for data e-infrastructure where data services can be offered to a potentially broader spectrum of users European Commission premises, DG CONNECT, 29th September 2014, Brussels)
