The strategic and R&D arm. Founded in 2009. Sustainovate works wherever observation data, human activity, and governance intersect — marine and fisheries, ecosystem monitoring, energy infrastructure, water systems, and agriculture. Advisory mandates from Dutch ministries, bilateral cooperation studies, Horizon Europe proposal architecture across multi-partner consortia, and capacity-building programmes for international partners. The common thread: building the structure that turns data and ambition into decisions.
