DIRECTED Data Fabric and SaferPlaces win DIREKTION Award 2026

We are proud to announce that the Data Fabric with SaferPlaces integration has been awarded the DIREKTION Award 2026!

The DIREKTION Awards recognize high-potential, near-to-deployment innovations that address critical capability gaps in disaster resilience. This second edition focuses heavily on accelerating the uptake of validated solutions and transitioning them into practical operational use across Europe.

Bridging the Gap in Flood Intelligence

Traditional flood management tools are often built for scientific analysis or long-term planning, requiring specialized expertise that on-the-ground responders rarely have time for during a crisis. The integrated DIRECTED Data Fabric and SaferPlaces platform solves this by translating complex, heterogeneous environmental datasets into actionable operational intelligence.

By merging meteorological forecasts, hydrological modeling, satellite imagery, and local infrastructure data into a single cloud-based platform, the system automatically generates dynamic flood scenarios and real-time impact assessments.

Key Innovations:

• Dynamic, Real-Time Modeling: Shifts emergency management from static, predefined flood maps to dynamic simulations that adapt to evolving rainfall conditions in near real time.
• Seamless Interoperability: Designed to integrate effortlessly with existing European data services (such as Copernicus) and local emergency management systems.
• User-Friendly Access: Enables non-technical operators and emergency responders to rapidly analyze complex flood intelligence when every minute counts.

By making advanced environmental data accessible and actionable, this solution empowers first responders to quickly determine where flooding will occur and protect the population and critical infrastructure effectively.

A huge thank you to all our stakeholders and contributors that have helped build this platform and thank you to the DIREKTION Network for their recognistion of this innovation!
