Naxos a pioneer of the ‘Smart Islands’ program
Naxos is emerging as a pioneer of the “Smart Island” digital transformation program, which is the product of collaboration between Amazon Web Services and more than 20 Greek and multinational companies, and was presented last week on the Cycladic island.
It is the first program providing services that have such a broad scope, while its pilot application on the Aegean island will be the passport for its export both to other parts of Greece but also to other countries around the world. Smart Island will develop solutions for smart mobility, primary health and the transportation of goods.
These solutions include the digital recording of passenger ship arrivals and departures and the transportation of biological and pharmaceutical materials using drones.
Overall, the island’s existing infrastructure, such as the marina, power grid and water management systems, are being upgraded through Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and smart infrastructure management systems.
