Trisolaris advanced technologies
Projects
We are involved in several projects under different financing programmes. We are always seeking strategic partnerships with research institutions, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, and crowd engineering for R&I projects and are available to support project pilots in the Natural Living Lab on the Azores Islands.
INCORE
Innovation Capacity Building for Higher Education in Europe's Outermost Regions
The mission of this project is to assist the EU in delivering the Green Deal by increasing the capacity of the ORs to drive forward innovation and entrepreneurship in areas critical to the EU Green Deal and the circular economy. INCORE will work towards expanding the ability of universities to innovate and better integrate with their regional innovation ecosystems. We, as a start-up SME, will serve as a case study of a start-up SME seeking to engage in meaningful cooperation with universities. We will co-create new products and services, delivering feedback based on real-life experience and recommendations on the process to INCORE.

AIRSHIP
Autonomous Flying Ships For Inter-Island And Inland Waters Transport
This project is focused on studying and developing new technologies in zero-emission power, onboard AI, and automatic flight control that overcome the challenging technical problems posed by the effect of autonomous flight. Lay the foundation for a new class of fully electric unmanned aircraft systems, the UWV (Unmanned WIG Vehicles), that bring together speed, flexibility, and energy efficiency.
TRISOLARIS will oversee systems integration as well as field tests and demos being leader of Work package 8 -Integration and demonstration of AIRHSIP.

SEAWINGS
Sea/Air Interphasic Wing- in- Grounded Autonomous Drones
This project’s mission is to develop a new class of military surveillance drones, designed, and built as wing-in-ground effect vehicles, designed to operate in the sea/air interface, giving rise to a new type of unmanned craft, Unmanned WIG Vehicles.
TRISOLARIS is responsible for Work package 6 – Final design, integration, and field experiments.

Genesis
Innovating Water Infrastructures for a Sustainable Future
GENESIS’s primary objective is to demonstrate that innovative nature-based intelligent solutions, for enhancing the climate resilience of critical water infrastructure, can lead to more reliable and consistent/predictable water management practices by effectively protecting groundwater, drastically improving the efficiency of water use and reuse, thus sustain social and economic activities while mitigating the potentially severe effects of climate change on local communities. The general concept is testing and showcasing local and regional NbS and delivering a deep demonstrator in the Macaronesia biogeographical area with the long-term objective to provide climate-proof critical water infrastructure replicable for other islands and vulnerable zones of the EU mainland.
Nine demonstrator sites will be implemented to test innovative NbS tailored to address climate-induced vulnerabilities in water critical infrastructure, including one in Faial Island (Azores, Portugal). This demonstrator, co-led by TRISOLARIS and Horta Municipality, will focus on developing an aquifer storage and recovery system, using excess potable water accumulated in existing earth dams/watering ponds, to prevent salt-water intrusion and re-establish the fresh water supply capacity of boreholes.
