Business Delegation in Algeria

The beginning of autumn has been quite eventful at GeoCodis. In addition to our business visit to Rwanda and Uganda, we also took part in a business delegation to Algeria, where we joined eleven Slovenian companies in strengthening economic ties between the two countries. The visit included a business forum, B2B meetings, and visits to Algerian companies and institutions.

We met with numerous existing and new potential partners. There was strong interest in collaboration in the field of smart irrigation supported by satellite technologies. The Algerian Space Agency offered us cooperation on a pilot smart irrigation project in Algeria and connected us with a local partner, with whom we are already preparing for project implementation.

The economic delegation to Algeria was organized by the Agency SPIRIT Slovenia in cooperation with the Ministry of the Economy, Tourism and Sport, with the aim of strengthening economic cooperation between the two countries.

At the end of September 2025, we visited Rwanda as part of the Slovenian development and business delegation, where we had already successfully completed several projects in the past. On the first day, we met with representatives of the European delegation and then took a three-hour drive to the Kibungo district, where, together with Slovenian Caritas and the company ElevonX, we are launching a new humanitarian project.

The following day, we visited a Catholic school that was established also with the support of Slovenian funding. The staff welcomed us warmly. In the evening, the central event of our visit took place, where we introduced ourselves and discussed further business opportunities. For GeoCodis, a particularly important meeting was held with the Director of the Rwanda Space Agency.

On Saturday, together with a Slovenian entrepreneur, we visited a rare mineral mine, where we learned more about the environment and the challenges involved in extracting raw materials for modern technologies.

Sunday was dedicated to supporting our cyclists, who delighted us with Pogačar’s victory and his second world champion title.

Monday was reserved for additional meetings, and on Tuesday we flew on to neighboring Uganda. More on that in our next news update.

V sodelovanju z Agencijo Republike Slovenije za okolje (ARSO) smo v začetku leta 2025 posodobili aplikacijo DroughtWatch, namenjeno spremljanju suše v vzhodnem delu Evrope. Aplikacija pri delovanju uporablja obsežen nabor agrometeoroloških podatkov, med drugim pa tudi satelitske posnetke. Za oceno sušnih razmer v Sloveniji ARSO enkrat tedensko objavlja Sušomer, ki na pregleden način prikazuje intenzivnost suše.

Zaradi vročega in suhega vremena v zadnjih dneh se sušnost na številnih območjih povečuje. Iz priložene animacije, ki se začne sredi junija 2025, je razviden prvi letošnji izrazit sušni val ter stopnjevanje suše v zadnjem obdobju.

Poleg prikaza preteklega in trenutnega stanja aplikacija s pomočjo vremenske napovedi omogoča tudi vpogled v pričakovani razvoj suše za dober teden vnaprej. Na priloženih slikah so prikazane napovedi za obdobje od 15. do 21. avgusta. V Sloveniji tokrat suša po napovedih ne bo tako izrazita kot v prvem letošnjem valu, medtem ko se na območju Balkana sušno stanje še poslabšuje.

In cooperation with the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO), we updated the DroughtWatch application in early 2025. The application is designed to monitor drought conditions in Eastern Europe and uses an extensive set of agrometeorological data, including satellite imagery. To assess drought conditions in Slovenia, ARSO publishes the Sušomer once a week, providing a clear overview of drought intensity.

Due to the hot and dry weather in recent days, drought severity has been increasing in many areas. The attached animation, starting in mid-June 2025, shows the first drought wave of the year as well as the intensification of drought in the most recent period.

In addition to displaying past and current conditions, the application uses weather forecasts to provide an outlook of expected drought development for a little over a week ahead. The attached images show forecasts for the period from 15 to 21 August. In Slovenia, drought is not expected to be as severe as during the first wave this year, while in the Balkans the situation is projected to worsen further.
