The actions should focus on technical developments of EU-space-based applications/solutions, dissemination, and awareness-raising, as well as provide opportunities for the creation of business-oriented partnerships of European industry with international partners. By doing so the action should be achieving a critical mass of space based-application success stories, demonstrating the advantages and differentiators of EU space-based solutions and services and making it an attractive option for public authorities, private industries and private investors in Europe and elsewhere
Scope:
– Lead to new or improved products, processes or services using EU space technologies that are capable of generating a marketable solution for the local market
– Maximise and spread the benefits of space-based applications and solutions enabled by EGNSS and/or by Copernicus, to leverage downstream space excellence in particular of SMEs and universities, to facilitate investments and to foster market uptake
– Create partnerships with non-EU entities towards commercialization, triggering public and private investment from Europe and beyond to take advantage of EU and local markets
– Build capacity and raise awareness around EGNSS and Copernicus based applications and solutions for regulated domains
Topics:
– The use of EGNSS and sharing of expertise with public and/or private entities to introduce EU-space-based applications/solutions leveraging their innovative, unique features, in particular, Galileo differentiators (authentication, high accuracy) and EU know-how
– The use of Copernicus data, to develop jointly algorithms, services and/or products, which serve local user needs and/or enhance the Copernicus global product quality
– The combined use of EGNSS and Copernicus to develop innovative downstream applications combining positing navigation and timing with Earth observation services
