This May kicked off the Mental Health Awareness Week with the theme "Connect With Nature". As we love a map at Emu, we thought we would document all of our outdoor activities for the week and hopefully encourage others to get outside and make the most of the outdoors as well!

What is the ideal place to live according to you? Being close to schools (or maybe the pub?)? Having a garden? You can now explore your ideal place to live according to what matters most to you in Location Insights Explorer.

Last week Emu Analytics were proud and excited to host their very first webinar, all about the recent updates of our Flo.w software solution. Over the past few years, we have evolved Flo.w to the point where it now enables you to implement powerful location analytics and visualization solutions (such as digital twins) quickly and easily.

Emu Analytics was announced as one of the 28 winners of funding through the Geospatial Commission’s SBRI competition in December 2020 with the focus “to use location data to solve transport challenges”. Within the supply chains category, Emu will collaborate with the UK’s General Lighthouse Authority to analyse and visualise (& ultimately predict) shipping patterns through UK waters in order to determine how the plans for the rapid expansion in offshore wind farms will influence shipping routes.

Emu Analytics are proud to announce that it has been selected as one of the recipients of Innovate UK’ Sustainable Innovation Fund to realise our project Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Alongside our partners Plane Finder and Ferrovial, we will improve the managing of multi-modal passenger flows across highly impacted transport sectors disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic to build the UK back better and more sustainably.

Our Senior Location Intelligence Analyst, Alice, has taken upon the UK Power Network Charge Challenge; using a combination of open-source data and the DNO’s Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) data, and utilising Emu’s mapping solutions Location Insights Explorer to visualise the predicted scenarios and allow for easy exploration of the results.

Emu Analytics has been on a 12-week long exciting journey with GCHQ in their latest installment of their Innovation Lab – which culminated in a virtual Demo Day to showcase how our software solutions offer impressive capabilities on a government level.

It’s been another great year for the #30DayMapChallenge, which invites enthusiastic cartographers and map lovers to make and share their maps across social media. Emu Analytics joined again to show off the many ways our Location Insights Explorer (LINE) can bring maps to life by visualising all sorts of data for you to explore!

Emu Analytics are proud to share that we were “highly commended” by the judges of the Transport for Wales (TfW) Innovation Lab Demo Day last Friday. Within a 12 week accelerator programme, our team proved how our software solution Flo.w offers an essential tool in tackling challenges across railroad networks with immediate results and great potential to expand the project. We are looking forward to working together in the future with Transport for Wales.

Rounding up this year's virtual Highways UK Conference, Emu Analytics are thrilled to have won the Intelligent Infrastructure Challenge, having been shortlisted out of 140 applications. After successfully participating in last year's Highways UK’s Hackathon we have once again impressed key influencers and decision makers in the UK roads infrastructure.
