Bluesky, BayConnect and Partners Advance FCS System Development in Shenzhen

Bluesky Carbon, represented by Chairwoman Jenny Deng and its project team, joined partners at BayConnect’s Shenzhen headquarters on 30 May 2026 for a working meeting on FCS system development. The meeting brought together representatives from Bluesky, BayConnect, SGS and Wuhan University, alongside invited experts and other participating organisations.

The meeting agenda centred on moving the FCS Registry Platform from a demonstration towards the construction of a production system. Its purpose was to align the strategic direction, define the scope of the next stage of work and connect business requirements with technical delivery.

Defining business functions and system boundaries

The programme began with a review of work to date and a discussion of the transition into the next development phase. Bluesky and BayConnect were scheduled to examine the core business functions and their boundaries, with attention to the requirements that would guide system construction.

This requirements work is an important step in translating a demonstration into an operational platform. A clear scope helps participating teams distinguish essential functions from later development needs and establish a shared basis for delivery planning.

Connecting verification workflows with forest data

A dedicated session with SGS focused on review and audit business processes and the requirements arising from those workflows. The agenda linked these operational questions with the design of the registry, so that verification-related needs could be considered as part of system planning.

Wuhan University and BayConnect were also scheduled to discuss the integration of satellite remote sensing, including connection methods and interface standards. This workstream addresses how relevant forest information can be connected to the platform through clearly defined technical interfaces.

Considered together, the verification and data sessions highlighted the need for coordination between scientific information, review processes and registry functions. Each has a different role, and the development process needs to account for how information passes between them.

Aligning strategy, delivery and coordination

The afternoon programme included a discussion of FCS’s strategic positioning, overall direction and medium- to long-term planning with Bluesky and invited experts. A subsequent joint session was intended to bring the workstreams together around the requirements scope, delivery list, allocation of responsibilities and routine coordination.

The agenda concluded with a review of the meeting and the planning of follow-up milestones. These discussions were designed to give participating teams a common understanding of the next steps and a practical structure for continued work.

For Bluesky, the meeting formed part of the effort to connect credible forest information and verification processes with the infrastructure needed for natural capital development. The focus was on planning and coordination for the next stage of system construction, with implementation to proceed through the agreed development process.
