This session brings together both governmental end-users and industry, to discuss how the EU Space Programme data and services, provided by Galileo, EGNOS, Copernicus, and IRIS2, can evolve to better address the challenges in the field.
In the afternoon session, participants will explore ways to improve the use and uptake of EU Space data for supporting the monitoring and documentation of human rights violations.
The session will focus on the needs and requirements of telecom, finance, and energy operators by delivering insights related to the market trends and the technology readiness, including the updates on the standardisation of Galileo timing receivers.
The timing capability offered by satellite navigation systems is at the core of most vital infrastructures: telecom networks operation, energy distribution and financial transactions are some examples of areas where GNSS is used for timing and/or synchronisation purposes. GNSS is widely used by the T&S community as it provides accurate, “low cost” and widely available timing services allowing time, phase, and frequency network synchronisation.
The session will bring together aviation and drone ecosystem players to discuss key user requirements, and the latest trends like advanced air mobility or operations at higher altitudes.
We will cover the added value of EGNOS and Galileo differentiators, such as authentication and high accuracy, and the users’ needs to improve the services. The session will also explore EO use cases, and particularly Copernicus data, to support aviation, such as in-flight procedure design, or drone safety assessment. For the first time, the participants will discuss their needs in SATCOM services, and how the future European Secure SATCOM can support their operations.
This session is divided into a morning and afternoon session.
The first part of the session will look at the latest healthcare market trends, highlighting how Earth Observation (EO) is becoming valuable addition in enhancing the development of patient-centric solutions. Real-world use cases will be presented, illustrating how the usage of EO can ensure the safety of healthy individuals and prevent and monitor respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Additionally, this session will provide an up-to-date overview of available EO services for healthcare providers, with a focus on data on Air Quality, UV-monitoring, Heatwaves, Pollen and Water Quality. There will be discussion on how these data sets can be further improved to address the needs of end users.
In the second part of the session, you will have an opportunity to engage with key stakeholders and share your ideas on how to increase the uptake of EO in the healthcare market and tackle the market and regulatory barriers. Together, we will discuss how the industry can prioritize healthcare market among service providers and explore new opportunities arising from AI technologies.
We will discuss how the EU Space Programme, through Copernicus, can support the raw materials sector in meeting these needs and overcoming market barriers.
The monitoring and management of raw materials through EO services are crucial for sustainable development and economic stability in modern societies. The sector significantly impacts various industries, and efficient resource management is essential for maintaining vital economic activities within the internal market of an increasingly interconnected European economy.
The focus will be on topics like environmental impact monitoring for mines and mining site exploration, planning, and monitoring.
The session will provide an opportunity for the participants to share their needs, requirements, and insights on how the EU Space data and services related to Earth Observation, satellite positioning and secure communications, provided by Copernicus, Galileo/EGNOS, and European SATCOM, can contribute to this sector today and in the future.
Some topics that will be discussed related to fisheries are vessel monitoring and catch optimisation ; and related to aquaculture are operations optimisation. The last one with special focus on seaweed farming.
The opening for Fisheries and Aquaculture will take place at the same time as for the Maritime and Inland Waterways session at 9:00 CEST. Please consult the session agenda and enrol in the morning session.
In the tourism and cultural heritage sectors, EU Space data enables the development of tools based on environmental monitoring data and climate change forecasts to support strategic decision-making, mitigate climate risks and monitor environmental impacts.
Thanks to groundbreaking developments in 3D rendering techniques, companies are increasingly using EGNSS-powered drones and photogrammetry cameras to preserve detailed digital copies of landmarks and implement them in new immersive applications.
This session will discuss the needs and opportunities for these innovative EO- and GNSS-based solutions, allowing participants to share feedback with EUSPA and the Copernicus programme and shape the future of EU Space services.
