In our latest interview, we sit down with Chiara Petrioli, CEO of WSENSE, at the last Ocean Innovators Platform during Monaco Ocean Week. WSENSE revolutionizes ocean monitoring with their underwater Wi-Fi and Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) technology.

Imagine: real-time data on water quality, noise pollution, and even marine life – all accessible through underwater sensor nodes. WSENSE makes this a reality, empowering us to protect marine protected areas, monitor construction projects, and explore the mysteries of the deep sea (up to 3,000 meters!).

Chiara, a leading woman in her field, also offers advice to young women considering science and engineering careers. Embrace technology as a tool to create a better future, and don’t be afraid to pursue a multidisciplinary approach in science and engineering.

The Ocean is a victim of ocean acidification, ocean warming and oxygen loss, resulting in severe consequences for marine ecosystems and the communities and societies who depend on them. But the Ocean, covering 70% of Earth’s surface, can also be a vital part of the solution and our ally to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This half day event will delve into the latest research on climate change impacts on the ocean and discuss potential ocean-based approaches to help address them, alongside imperative efforts to reduce emissions.

Moderated panel discussions with experts from science, economy, conservation, policy and business will debate the potential benefits and disadvantages of such measures, with a special focus on protecting and restoring blue carbon ecosystems (a nature-based approach) and on “ocean alkalinity enhancement”, the addition of alkaline materials to the sea with the goal to increase the ocean’s potential to absorb carbon (a technological approach).

The Ocean Innovators Platform is an event dedicated to cutting-edge technologies and inventive solutions aiming at conserving the world’s ocean, seas and marine resources. Its purpose is to highlight the essential role of entrepreneurship, innovation and investment to develop a sustainable blue economy. The Ocean Innovators Platform strives to turn the spotlight on the most impactful solutions, while fostering dialogue and fruitful exchanges between high-level stakeholders from various backgrounds. It takes place every year as part of the Monaco Ocean Week but also in the framework of international events promoting sustainable development.
