ESA’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, together with Airport Regions Council (ARC) and the EUROCONTROL Innovation Hub (EIH), will hold the Space for Smart Airports and Airport Regions webinar on 19 November.
The webinar will outline the opportunities that the ESA BASS programme can offer to airport stakeholders to develop sustainable and innovative applications based on space technologies.
Background
Airports are key transport hubs in our society. They provide essential infrastructure for airlines and help ensure flights can take off and land safely around the world every day. Airports are increasingly relying on technologies to digitalise operations, become more efficient and sustainable, and support multi-modality. Space technologies, among others, are able to support airports and regions in their digitalisation efforts.
ESA Business Applications and Space Solutions helps businesses from all corners of Europe to harness space technology to improve life on Earth. We work side by side with industry, developing space-enabled solutions that will grow your business and bring essential socioeconomic benefits. All our activities have a focus on the green transition and the global shift towards a more digital, sustainable future.
Airport Regions Council (ARC) stands as the collective voice of regional and local authorities hosting or adjacent to airports. ARC integrates a wealth of expertise at the intersection of airport operations and local/regional policies. The organisation is dedicated to maximising benefits and minimising environmental impact, ultimately striving to improve the well-being of residents in airport regions.
EUROCONTROL, as a founding member of the SESAR Joint Undertaking and in collaboration with air navigation service providers (ANSPs), airports, airspace users, industry, academia and research centres, develops innovative solutions at its Innovation Hub, to shape a safe, efficient and sustainable future of European aviation, ensuring the adoption of technological and operational advancements that maximise efficiency and sustainability.
