Rainmaking and GateHouse innovation ‘will unleash potential of maritime data’
The maritime sector has called for innovative digital solutions to drive the industry in a more data-driven direction in the last few years.
In reaction, GateHouse Maritime, an analytics and data leader, has partnered with innovation company, Rainmaking, to back the development of technologies that can potentially disrupt the maritime industry with the help of data.
With the new partnership agreement, GateHouse Maritime will become ecosystem partner and put its large data foundation at disposal for innovation projects that leverage technologies within transportation and logistics.
Using intelligent data accordingly, the companies have a tangible tool for coordinating maritime activities and ensuring efficiency across the supply chain. Data insight and analysis play an important role for ship suppliers and maritime service companies all over the world.
CEO of GateHouse Maritime, Martin Dommerby Kristiansen, said: “We are delighted to become part of Rainmaking’s initiative and work alongside frontrunners in transforming the maritime sector.
“Many tech start-ups possess a large amount of knowledge within a very specific area, and with the help of our data we hope to strengthen their foundation for innovation across the maritime industry.”
Angela Noronha, director of trade & transport impact, added: “Start-ups and corporations alike have much to gain from accessing extensive data and learning how to use their own better.
“AI and ML companies from other sectors can train on relevant historical data to tailor their solution to vessel owners or other shipping actors, even before landing their first maritime customer; corporations with hordes of real-time commercial and operational data can begin to leverage it better. These are just some examples of the far-reaching possibilities.”
With over a decade of experience, Rainmaking has worked with start-ups and market leading corporations to solve important challenges through business. Rainmaking also runs the open innovation platform Trade & Transport Impact, where GateHouse Maritime’s data foundation now will play a crucial role for future projects in maritime.
