One small flight for a drone, a giant leap for sustainable delivery services

Kookiejar of Sweden, Superyacht Supplies Ltd, and MC-CLIC, a Monaco-based drone operator, in collaboration with Baccana Digital Consulting, have achieved a successful pilot for a 5 Kilos drone delivery.

This maiden flight was completed from Fontvieille pier in Monaco to the SuperYacht M/Y Ocean Coral, managed by Ahoy Club.

The primary objective was to showcase how on-demand luxury goods delivery through drone services can effectively address logistical challenges while enhancing safety and sustainability thanks to electric powered drones.

The launch, which took place on September 30th 2023 during the Monaco Yacht Show at sunset, represented a significant milestone in the field of luxury deliveries from the shore to the sea. It was the inaugural instance of daily on-demand drone services for Superyachts stationed offshore, catering promptly to the urgent needs of Yacht owners here in Monaco but also abroad.

The drone delivery was swift, seamless and precise, including a luxury watch (Ralf tech), a bottle of Dom Perignon Champagne and caviar (Azure Caviar).

This inaugural drone delivery flight was witnessed by many local and foreign personalities and companies including Mr Guillaume Rose, Chief Executive Officer of the Monaco Economic Board and member of the National Council, Air Chateau company of Dubai, the Giraudi Group and Mr Florent Saez managing the Delovery company, as well as Mr Michel Bouquier of Monaco Private Label.

This project has empowered Kookiejar to access U-space services, collaborating with the Government of Monaco within the sovereign Airspace of Monaco with the Aviation Civile.

This successful collaboration has paved the way for broader on-demand drone delivery services, involving key stakeholders like the Maritime authorities of Monaco.

The cargo deliveries will operate between the Fontvieille Monaco center site on the west end of Monaco and are set to extend to three other installations along the Monaco coastline.

Looking ahead, Kookiejar and its consortium partners envision operating tens to hundreds of flights in the foreseeable future, delivering an array of luxury goods, various types of equipment, spare parts with Yachtneeds.com, and care packages to the Superyachts thanks to a revolutionary app in the making … made in Monaco !

Web 3 talk at the MonacoTech Incubator :

Web 3, Educative Video Gaming, cryptos and Metaverse… That was the program of the Web 3 talk at the MonacoTech incubator, organized by the French foreign trade advisors in Monaco.

This time, our dear friends from the MonacoBoost startup incubator hosted this event.

A conference attended by several dozens of business leaders and professionals, coming or not from the tech world.

They came from all horizons with one goal: to learn more about web 3, and the short and medium term opportunities it could bring.

In order to satiate the thirst for knowledge of the entrepreneurs present at this event, Baccana Digital Consulting was accompanied by the Mainbot team in duplex from Paris. With them, we presented our vision of metaverse through Educational Gaming.

Let’s review this successful morning talk of the French foreign trade advisors in Monaco :

What is web 3.0 ?

After arriving at the Monaco Boost incubator, the participants of this morning talk were given a real educational course on Web3.

Sylvain Odureau took the audience through an exciting journey of the 3dVerse. A great presentation of the Web 3, followed shortly after by Baccana Digital Consulting’s vision of the Metaverse.

It was good to remind everyone of the basics of web 3, because the approach to it is totally different from web 2.

Web 2 is essentially based on the exchanges of information between users, this is why social media has flourished since it arrived in the mid 2000.

Web 3 however, takes the whole thing into another dimension… quite literally ! This new generation of the web is focused on decentralization and transparency.

Web 3 is essentially executed through the blockchain. This means that any user can verify the information, and anyone on the network has permission to use the service. In other words, no authorization is required from a third party like in web 2.0.

A world of opportunities that is yet to be discovered. A path in which the principality of Monaco is willing to invest time and resources.

Mainbot x Baccana : Education through the metaverse

Chris CLAVEL and Baccana Digital Consulting brought their approach of Web 3 and the Metaverse: a world full of possibilities in which it is important to accompany the user.

To accompany the users, Baccana has chosen Educational Gaming, with the video game company Mainbot based in Paris.

After presenting their activity, Olivier Letscher, Boris Kesler, Fasano Nicolas Schoener, and Fabien Lomet took to the audience with an introduction on their Winkyverse, a world where knowledge has no limits!

If Web 1 was based on consulting information alone, Web 2 brought users the opportunity to exchange. The Web3 decentralizes the web.

It makes it a collaborative space in which users are free to explore, modify, and own in a totally transparent and autonomous way.

This is the model on which the Winkyverse is based: bringing knowledge in an interactive and playful way on a decentralized and secured space.

Mr Laurent Stéfanini, French ambassador in Monaco made it quite clear : the future of the principality revolves around new technology.

Monaco, despite being a small state, has always been able to seize opportunities and adapt to change while investing heavily in new technologies. This is evidenced by the 5g, or the sovereign cloud.

A Web 3 talk at the MonacoTech incubator rich in information that allowed the audience to learn more about the digital evolution of the web and the opportunities represented by metaverse and web 3.

Thanks again to Lionel Galfré from MonacoTech for his welcome.
