DECISIONX:NETZERO
Status date: 13 March 2024
SATAVIA is reducing the climate impact of flying by mitigating the warming effect from the clouds aircraft make and enabling airlines to claim carbon credits as an incentive. Globally, aircraft contrails trap heat in the atmosphere and increase aviation’s climate impact by over 30%, contributing to global warming. From 2025 the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) will require airlines to report this impact.
SATAVIA’s technology provides atmospheric intelligence to change flight plans to avoid contrail-forming conditions. The mitigated climate impact is verified by SATAVIA and converted into tradable units by a patented method with the backing of Gold Standard, a major carbon accreditation platform.

Status date: 04 March 2024
In this transformative project AI-driven diagnostics, and Earth Observation (EO) data are bridged to
revolutionize patient care and early disease prediction. AI, fueled by satellite data, enables early disease
prediction by analyzing environmental factors such as UV exposure and dust concentrations. This approach
extends beyond traditional healthcare, addressing global health and environmental challenges.
ORCAS
Status date: 01 March 2024
Trade in Space creates NFTs on a blockchain, using SatEO analysis. But these aren’t works of art – they're tied to physical commodity crops still growing in the field and this new approach enables us to move into a new age of transactional insight®. In this project Trade in Space will show the value this new approach has in streamlining global coffee and cacao supply-chains.
BST HIKES
Status date: 14 February 2024
BST.COACH, a Czech digital youth sports platform has developed a reward-based outdoor exercise application using GNSS-stamped locations.
5G Drone Safety Module
Status date: 14 February 2024
Currently drones are not electronically visible, and it is not possible to determine accountability of a drone without searching and hoping you can find the operator. The proposed activity for the ESA Kick-Start project is to solve the issue of electronically identifying and tracking of drones.
PeaSat
Status date: 05 February 2024
The PeaSat project will develop a yield prediction package which uses satellite imagery to forecast vining pea harvest volumes around two weeks before harvest.
GAINS
Status date: 12 May 2023
GAINS is an “alternative data” platform for the Financial Services industry providing near-real time activity and leading-indicator production indices for a range of industrial supply chains such as iron ore and steel, and in future other metals, minerals and materials.
GAINS provides historic and near-real-time insights on the activity and production levels at hundreds of industrial sites worldwide on a daily or weekly basis, at a scale not previously possible, by harnessing AI-enabled remote sensing data fusion.

SP4GO
Status date: 26 December 2023
SP4GO is a solution to support the maintenance of electric power distribution infrastructures. SP4GO uses cost-effective and high-resolution satellite data to reduce inefficiencies and maintenance costs of high voltage power lines by detecting potentially dangerous situations related to the overgrowth of vegetation, the construction of new buildings that come too close to infrastructure and detecting land terrain change.
SP4GO is targeted to electric power Transmission System Operators (TSO) and electric power Distribution System Operators (DSO).
