EUSPA / EBN webinar: Space Technologies for Sustainability and Green Transformation

Back to all posts
Data from satellites have become an important source of information unlocking new business opportunities and enabling non-existing use cases. EBN together with the European Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) organises a series of webinars showcasing how space data enriches industries already today. During the webinars, the EUSPA will introduce the EU Space programmes and activities for entrepreneurs and start-ups, deep dive into how space data can enrich different sectors and examples of existing projects.

The final webinar of our series focuses on Space Technologies for Sustainability and Green Transformation and the benefits that EU Space Programmes bring to them.

Climate change is the most urgent challenge we have been facing – affecting everyone everywhere on the Earth. Earth observation represents nowadays key technology to identify and monitor climate change and to support mitigation and adaptation measures. Space data has a tremendous potential to help us achieve a better understanding of Earth processes through timely modelling, forecasting, and monitoring. Moreover, space data and technologies also offer sustainable and commercial solutions for a decarbonised and green economy transition.

In this webinar, participants will learn how Earth Observation data when combined with in situ data and advanced methods and technologies such as high-performance computing and machine learning can support the green transition defined by the Green Deal, which aims to make Europe carbon neutral by 2050, alongside an effort for digitization transformation. The focus will be put on innovative solutions and applications, which are based on free Copernicus Earth Observation data and information service.
