Launching in Liverpool Port, we’re redefining efficiency and sustainability, with plans to expand to EU, starting with port of Valencia. Join us as we drive the future of autonomous port operations across the UK, EU, and beyond!

Leveraging satellite imagery and AI analytics to detect and prevent child labour in global supply chains. The platform provides companies with real-time monitoring, risk assessment, and verification tools to ensure ethical sourcing compliance, protect vulnerable children, and strengthen corporate social responsibility commitments through transparent, data-driven insights.

TRACTIONS addresses the need for turbidity information by the dredging market and primary production information by the aquaculture sector. TRACTIONS services include continuous local calibration and validation with proprietary optical sensors from the WISPstation network, and very high resolution imagery that is available multiple times and day. This project will pilot the TRACTIONS service on four use cases.

A system integrating AI, UAVs, and satellite assets to enhance real-time human detection to fundamentally improve Search and Rescue (SAR) missions in the benefit of SAR responders.

SkyMed is a drone-based autonomous delivery service for medical logistics. It provides the infrastructure required for dependable, hospital-integrated operations. Combining satellite navigation, satellite communications, and Earth Observation data with automated ground systems, SkyMed enables precise, resilient, and compliant medical deliveries. The service strengthens NHS logistics and improves access to timely healthcare in both urban and remote UK communities through a scalable, space-enabled medical transport network.

Enterprise users of commercial EO data are struggling to adapt to proliferation of data providers over the last decade. Many struggle with the knowledge, time and commercial and operational tools to enable them to exploit this increasingly powerful resource. The EarthImages for Enterprise project designed a solution to this problem, focused initially on the energy sector, but applicable across multiple markets.

Feasibility study to investigate commercial uses of Space Weather Data in various industries, understanding the impacts of Space Weather on critical nation infrastructure and how leveraging and utilising space weather data can address these problems and gaps.

The Consortium offer services that integrate GNSS, satellite, and snow/weather data to monitor avalanches, snow parameters and ground movement risks. Solutions include:

• SAD: automatic avalanche detection from satellite imagery

• SNOW: cost-effective stations for measuring snowpack via GNSS and SAR

• SNOW&MOVE: compact systems combining snow and ground movement monitoring.

N-Flow develops a satellite-based model that monitors nitrate run-off based on physical geologic characteristics and crop practices. Farmers and corporations can focus agricultural practice change to improve nitrogen use efficiency on the N run-off hotspots identified by the model to reduce nitrate pollution in water and improve business sustainability.

WaterFill is an Earth Observation-enabled, AI-driven platform that helps public authorities and utilities to monitor, forecast, and manage water resources with precision. By integrating Copernicus/IRIDE satellite data with IoT sensors and machine learning, it delivers real-time digital twins of river basins, empowering smarter decisions, early warnings, and sustainable water resilience.

MyoCaid is a novel treatment for advanced heart failure which assists the failing heart, encouraging its recovery, rather than bypassing it. This unique mechanism of action has the potential to alleviate the symptoms and prolong the life of people with this disease.

Ground movements threaten buried pipes; new satellite radar analysis helps utilities predict and prevent failures.

Goodforest is a precision forestry SaaS platform combining satellite remote sensing and AI to help forest owners and managers protect and sustainably manage their forests. The solution provides continuous health monitoring, early detection of dieback, multi-risk assessment and decision support for proactive forest management.

The project aims to develop a service for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of agricultural measures to bind CO2 in the soil as a part of “Carbon Farming”. The tool will be able to monitor catch crops, report on farming practices for higher carbon sequestration and verify organic carbon build-up in the soil.

BGI-Monitor is a platform that transforms fragmented data and manual inspections into a clear view of urban green infrastructure. By combining Copernicus and Sentinel satellite observations with in-situ monitoring, it delivers dashboards, alerts, and scenario simulations that help asset managers, and green solution providers reduce costs, prevent damage, and demonstrate the impact of climate adaptation investments.

During and after disaster events, ensuring that aid reaches those most in need is of paramount importance. When disasters lead to damaged and blocked road infrastructure, the delivery of aid becomes more difficult. This project aims at integrating automatically detected flood extents with routing services so that logistic planning can be undertaken utilising the current state of the road infrastructure.

Using space to help small farmers down on earth.

Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) offers a step change in the performance of non-ground assisted localization and that enables us to build new autonomous vehicles. The Microtractor is a small fully autonomous adaptable electric vehicle designed for small farmers and rural delivery. It operates without human intervention, reduces cost and increases efficiency. 

With modular attachments for diverse applications, it revolutionizes sustainable agriculture and last-mile logistics in rural areas.
 

The Global Tailings Monitoring Service provides tailings storage facilities with comprehensive and consistent monitoring using a combination of remote sensing technologies and environmental datasets. Built for worldwide scalability, GTMS is designed to be suitable for all sites within a global portfolio.

Adaptix are Transforming Diagnostic Imaging by bringing low-cost, low-dose mobile 3D imaging to patients.  Today, common conditions such as fractures, cancer and lung disease are initially assessed by 2D X-ray which gives a fundamentally limited view of our 3D bodies. The products being developed in this project will deliver fast, accurate 3D imaging to these patients.

Urine contains all the nutrients needed to fertilise plants. However it is considered a waste and most of these nutrients are currently discharged in nature. VunaNexus develops technologies that enable the recycling of all nutrients contained in urine to transform them into natural fertilisers. One of the first pilot systems is installed at the ESA HQ in Paris.
