AquaCloud
⭐ Good Practice Description:
Aquacloud is an innovation initiative from the Norwegian aquaculture sector that collects and consolidates data sets from different aquaculture companies to solve a shared problem – predicting and preventing the outbreak of sea lice. Aquacloud includes good practices related to organizational structure and data governance.
Success Factors:
| Governance and Organizational Structure | The initiative is running on specific project funding at the moment, and the long-term structure has not yet been decided. The plan is to move to a commercial model that will make Aquacloud self-sustainable, but it will remain a non-profit organization. Aquacloud is governed by a steering committee from the participating companies. |
|---|---|
| Data Governance | Aquacloud has built a central repository for data that integrates the production systems of aquaculture companies. Improving data quality has also emerged as a success criterion, as well as identifying next steps and widening the stakeholder group to achieve networking effects and drive the adoption of data standards. |
