The Swiss National Park was selected as the first Flagship Site of the Tech4Nature program.

We were invited as key speaker to present new technologies for nature conservation at the ECO FORUM GLOBAL in Guiyang

We were invited together with ORAP, M-Tron and Diamond Leadership to present the potential of Blockchain to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe is a wonderful country with wonderful people but has been struck by hyperinflation and natural disasters in the past few years. PORINI works together with M-Tron and ORAP, two local organizations based in  major towns in Zimbabwe, to introduce blockchain technology into a M-Tron TechnoPark Cluster, to produce energy, clean water and job opportunities for SME in rural areas.

Together with IUCN PAPACO, the Université SENGHOR and the Swiss EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne), Porini developed a Massive Open Online Cours (MOOC) for Africa in the field of new technologies for conservation. The MOOC TECH shows management options based of the newly available connectivity inside – and with other – Parks. MOOC for Africa has more than 10’000 participants.
