Orange Business and Tēnaka, a social business that works to restore and protect marine ecosystems worldwide, have partnered to scale the coral reef restoration in a Marine Protected Area of the Coral Triangle in Malaysia.
Orange Business has orchestrated a groundbreaking marine research project leveraging a Yucca lab research station equipped with underwater monitoring devices and solar-powered floating buoys. This station, connected to the 4G network via an Orange Business SIM card, transfers images to Microsoft Azure with the assurance of security measures by Orange Cyberdefense. In the cloud, an advanced AI algorithm by Orange Business autonomously identifies and quantifies diverse marine species in the reefs.
This project benefits from partnerships, with Netskope’s For Good program providing security support and design, and Microsoft contributing Azure credits through its Startups Founders Hub program, enhancing the project’s potential and reach.
“Regenerating the ocean is the best solution we have to mitigate the climate and biodiversity crisis. By leveraging technology, Orange Business brings critical expertise for us to scale our operations and reach a global impact,” explained Anne-Sophie Roux, Founder of Tēnaka.
“We wanted to be part of the solution for an environmental challenge. Our employees worldwide support Tēnaka for its inspiring initiative in preserving and rehabilitating coral ecosystems – and one where our technology and digital services can really make a difference to create a positive impact,” commented Kristof Symons, CEO International, Orange Business.
