Athens, Greece – February 2025 – SKYLD proudly participated in Doers Summit 2025, the premier platform connecting investors and operators with high-potential startups. This year, SKYLD showcased three of its most innovative projects – MHUMS, EURMARS, and SUNRISE – reinforcing its commitment to technological advancement in defense, security, and critical infrastructure protection. The event served as a key opportunity for dissemination, fostering strategic partnerships, and exploring commercial viability for these EU-funded projects.
MHUMS: Transforming Maritime Operations with Smart Monitoring
The Maritime Health Usage Monitoring System (MHUMS) was a focal point of discussion at Doers Summit 2025. This cutting-edge system leverages IoT, AI, and predictive analytics to enhance the operational efficiency and safety of maritime vessels. By shifting from traditional scheduled maintenance to a condition-based maintenance (CBM) model, MHUMS reduces costs, extends vessel life, and prevents unexpected failures.
At the summit, SKYLD engaged with maritime industry leaders, investors, and technology providers to explore potential commercialization pathways. The discussions centered on integrating MHUMS with existing fleet management solutions and expanding its application to commercial shipping, defense operations, and offshore platforms. The event provided an excellent opportunity to showcase MHUMS as a game-changer in the maritime sector, promoting smart shipping and sustainability.
EURMARS: Advancing European Multi-Authority Border Security
Security threats in the maritime domain are increasingly complex, necessitating multi-layered surveillance solutions. The EURMARS project, developed under the HORIZON program, was introduced at Doers Summit 2025 as an innovative response to evolving border security challenges. EURMARS integrates high-altitude platforms, satellite imagery, unmanned systems (UxVs), and AI-driven risk assessment into a unified surveillance framework.
The summit facilitated valuable discussions on EURMARS’ exploitation potential in cross-border security collaborations. SKYLD emphasized how EURMARS can enhance situational awareness for defense agencies, law enforcement, and coast guards. By engaging with investors and technology partners, SKYLD explored avenues for scaling EURMARS into real-world security applications, ensuring greater operational efficiency for European and international border management authorities.

SUNRISE: Strengthening Critical Infrastructure Resilience
The SUNRISE project was another highlight of SKYLD’s participation at Doers Summit 2025. Designed to improve the resilience of Critical Infrastructure (CI) and vital services, SUNRISE employs advanced cyber-physical risk assessment tools, AI-driven predictive analytics, and smart crisis management technologies.
At the event, SKYLD engaged with key stakeholders from the energy, transportation, and cybersecurity sectors, emphasizing the urgent need for resilient infrastructure solutions. SUNRISE was presented as a strategic response to pandemic-driven vulnerabilities, ensuring continuity, reliability, and security in critical sectors across Europe. The summit provided a platform for discussions on potential industry adoption, with an emphasis on public-private partnerships and securing additional funding for large-scale deployment.
