This Framework contract focuses on the provision of technical and business support to the downstream space market development for EUSPA in the area of Professional applications.
As consortium coordinator, we provide support for the adoption and operational uptake of EO solutions in real-world professional workflows across multiple sectors (e.g., Raw Materials, Insurance & Finance, Renewable Energy, Agriculture & Forestry, Urban Development, etc). In this context, we run competitive tenders to select EO service providers to deliver targeted proof-of-concepts (PoC) that address concrete operational user needs and demonstrate measurable added value of Copernicus-based solutions. In parallel, we provide focused regulatory, policy, and economic analyses in the covered sectors to map the evolving requirements and constraints to better understand the needs, pain points, and adoption barriers faced by end user. In this context, we are also actively involved in the development of promotional and dissemination materials (e.g., factsheets, case-study briefs, presentations, web content) to support EUSPA to communicate key insights and PoC results, increase visibility of Copernicus-based solutions, and accelerate Copernicus market uptake among stakeholder communities.
Building on the strong outcomes achieved under this Framework Contract, we are pleased to act as a “bridge” to commercial follow-ups, connecting EO service providers with end users looking for new tools, tangible operational improvements and economic benefits for their daily workflows.
