How can businesses use the data from the European Union's Earth Observation Programme, Copernicus? The Enterprise Europe Network is organising a conference and matchmaking event to explore these opportunities. "Earth Observation & Copernicus Technologies and Solutions for User Applications" will take place on 19 April, 2018 in Bochum, Germany. Registrations are open.
Looking at our planet and its environment, Copernicus offers information services based on satellite earth observation and in situ (non-space) data. The data generated since the launch of the first Sentinel satellite in 2014, offers an enormous range of potential uses. Through cross-section IT technologies such as big data, cloud computing, digitalisation and geoIT, this data is increasingly accessible for commercial products, processes and services.
Conference and matchmaking: ideas for new developments
The goal of the conference "Earth Observation & Copernicus Technologies and Solutions for User Applications" is to enable knowledge transfer and to stimulate the development and marketing of new Copernicus-related products, services and solutions. The event will bring together:
- technology experts
- service providers
- manufacturers
- users from selected application fields
Participants can take part in thematic workshops to:
- exchange ideas on technology trends
- identify market demand
- explore the potential of Earth Observation and Copernicus technologies
Thematic workshops in five application fields
The event will focus on several application fields:
- Energy/Renewable Energies
- Mining/Post-Mining
- SmartCity/Urban Monitoring
- Agriculture and Forestry
- Maritime Technologies
Cross-cutting subjects will be discussed in two additional workshops on the use of Open Data for mobile app development and change detection for monitoring of land use and land coverage.
Why participate?
- Get the latest information on the Copernicus Programme
- Meet experts from the technology network CopServ
- Establish cross-border contacts for long-term partnerships
- Expand your professional network
- Present, discuss and develop projects at international level
Practical information
The conference is a free-of-charge one-day event. It targets specialists and executives as well as development engineers from the application fields and defined technology branches along the entire value chain.
All participants are invited to join the optional Space Night Event on 18 April at Zeiss Planetarium Bochum which includes a spectacular multimedia Space Night Show in the stardome, a reception and a networking dinner.
This event is organised together with the Enterprise Europe Network group of experts supporting the development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the Aeronautics, Space and Dual Use sectors.
