A circular indoor vegetable production system combining a space-designed adaptive greenhouse with a terrestrial microalgae wastewater treatment system, targeting both Earth and space-based food production optimization and water purification.
AERIUS
Status date: 08 May 2026
AERIUS transforms satellite Earth observation, in-situ, and municipal GIS data into ready-to-use intelligence for managing and restoring urban green. Municipalities apply AERIUS to monitor vegetation vitality, water quality, and mitigate heat stress, maintain tree inventories, and fulfil EU Nature Restoration Law reporting — demonstrating “no net loss” and measurable “net gain” of urban green and tree canopy cover.
Trailblaze
Status date: 08 May 2026
Trailblaze is an AI-powered B2B platform delivering hyper-personalized travel recommendations to tour operators, travel agencies, and destination management organizations. By integrating Earth Observation satellite data (Copernicus, Sentinel, COSMO-SkyMed) with agentic AI, Trailblaze enriches itinerary planning with real-time environmental intelligence — enabling premium, data-backed travel experiences.

Trailblaze is an AI-powered B2B platform delivering hyper-personalized travel recommendations to tour operators, travel agencies, and destination management organizations. By integrating Earth Observation satellite data (Copernicus, Sentinel, COSMO-SkyMed) with agentic AI, Trailblaze enriches itinerary planning with real-time environmental intelligence — enabling premium, data-backed travel experiences. Trailblaze addresses a critical gap in the travel industry: tour operators, travel agencies, and destination management organizations (DMOs/DMCs) lack objective, real-time environmental intelligence when designing itineraries and procuring destination inventory. Generic weather forecasts and static travel guides cannot answer whether a hiking trail in Sicily is accessible after rainfall, whether UV exposure at an archaeological site has reached health-risk levels, or whether air quality in a city destination is suitable for outdoor activities.
Trailblaze delivers a B2B AI platform integrating Earth Observation satellite data (Copernicus Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, COSMO-SkyMed, VIIRS) with advanced agentic AI to generate hyper-personalized, environmentally-informed itinerary recommendations. The platform serves tour operators, travel agencies, and DMOs through API integration and white-label deployment.
The Feasibility Study validated user desirability through structured co-design workshops with Alpitour World and Italian Smart Cities; demonstrated technical feasibility of EO data integration into a tourism AI engine; established commercial viability through pricing model validation
