On February 27, TalTech held an awards ceremony to honor the top development projects of the year, showcasing groundbreaking solutions aimed at strengthening Estonia's defense capabilities and improving efficiency in the agriculture and energy sectors. The highlight of the event was the recognition of the C2GRID project, led by Professor Vladimir Kuts, which focuses on developing a TA-based 3D situational awareness and decision support platform that could significantly enhance defense capabilities in Estonia and across Europe.

The C2GRID platform utilizes advanced technology to transform battlefield videos, including drone footage, into nearly real-time 3D models. This innovative approach is designed to enable military units to make faster and more informed decisions, as well as to better plan their operations. The jury praised this development for its high potential impact, noting that it addresses current market and security needs, and can also be applied in civilian domains.

In addition to the first-place project, a portable, eco-friendly soil laboratory designed for farmers was awarded second place. This project aims to assist agricultural professionals in analyzing soil conditions efficiently, thereby promoting sustainable farming practices. The recognition of these innovative developments underscores TalTech's commitment to advancing technologies that can significantly benefit both defense and civilian sectors in Estonia and beyond.
