The development of a service that uses Earth Observation data to detect and monitor legal waste sites, and GNSS technology to track the destination of high value waste items. The information is used to show evidence of legal operator compliance and illegal disposal or exportation of waste.

Feasibility study, performed by a Polish team, providing a comprehensive overview of the VDES technology future maritime applications potential. Analysis regards two of the most interesting services, i.e. MSI (Maritime Safety Information) exchange, with particular emphasis on polar regions, and SAR (Search and Rescue) operation coordination – on-scene search patterns exchange.

Collection and transmission of ocean water column data opens up new data-based revenue streams across a range of industrial sectors and stakeholders. The Pi-Link activity explores the market and technical feasibility around sustainably gathering and supplying such data using a sensor-equipped version of SNTech’s Pisces device, called Pi-Sense.

SiPeCon offers information services based on a fully operational sensor information supply chain to support crop protection agents and their clients (farmers) who want to increase crop production yield by reducing yield losses caused by pests and embrace Integrated Pest Management (IPM) innovations to reduce reliance of chemical pesticides, which is a novel business approach for crop protection.

DryGro is commercializing a novel method of agriculture that produces a soy-alternative crop in areas where land is water-scarce, arid, or otherwise non-arable. This project aims to determine the suitability of satellite-enabled IOT, earth observation, and numerical weather prediction technologies for facilitating the application of DryGro’s horticultural approach in such remote, inhospitable climates.

SmartVEC® is a spin-off platform from VECMAP® to monitor vector population dynamics and the spread of vector-borne diseases in urban settings in the tropics. It is used by Avia-GIS to support its contract research activities with the pharmaceutical industry in disease hotspots globally. 

SmartSenZ® is a spin-off service from VECMAP® that aims at delivering eco-friendly integrated pest management services to public and private customers in the tropics. The service was demonstrated and is currently being deployed in the luxury hospitality sector in South Africa.

EO-based information service based on monitoring Micro Yields for assessing Food Security and Malnutrition (MYFoodS) in rural subsistence farming areas in Burkina Faso

EO-li (Earth Observation based location identifier) is an open source web-based,global platform matching demand and supply of identifying, selecting and reporting in the land restoration context. It has four components, namely the (i) identification of a location area to be restored, the (ii) selection of an area and the actors involved in the restoration activity, the (iii) monitoring and reporting on the progress of the project using earth observation and geospatial data and (iv) a learning component providing guidance and capacity strengthening.

GREENSPIN AGRI PLANET: a global service for field-level agricultural insights based on Earth Observation, crowd information and artificial intelligence.

HelloBin services optimizes routing for waste collection for waste collectors and contributes to the ability to manage the waste stream more efficiently. 

TILQ-AP is an integrated application designed to help cities in impact management of climate variables on elderly population life quality. It integrates satellite data (EO and meteorological) with medical and demographic data to monitor and send alerts on upcoming heat waves in cities (including the “Urban Heat Island” effect) that might be dangerous for elderly people.

FULLVIEW-SAT aims at implementing a solution to deliver a live immersive 360 degrees multicasting of sport events for Major and Minor sport leagues. FULLVIEW-SAT makes use of state-of-the-art Satellite News Gathering (SNG) based on of High Throughput Satellite and full IP solutions. The content is then delivered to the users via Internet; a dedicated App and visors will allow users watching at sport events as they were in the different location of the football field, providing an immersive experience.

TeleRetail automates regional logistics to save millions of users billions of hours while minimizing the ecological footprint of transportation. Its activities include the development of automated on demand courier robots for same day delivery services in urban and sub-urban areas. The company's technology reduces the space, cost and energy requirements of local logistics by up to 90%.

Migration Radar 2.0 services are aimed at optimizing the prognosis for different stakeholders involved in the field of migration, operating at different roles and capacities. Big datasets stemming from space assets and social media are combined with existing migration datasets to develop information-enriched products, customized to the user needs. Provisioning these products in the form of automated, user-intuitive and flexible services helps the stakeholders in optimizing their decision making processes in a timely and accurate manner.  

The study aims at assessing the technical feasibility and economic viability of services enhancing human migration crisis management, through the use of Big Data solutions and RPAS.

The preservation of safety and information distribution in the maritime transport market is currently enabled by systems, which already show signs of overload, such as AIS. SENSE is a feasibility study to analyse and assess the use of space assets, and in particular VDES, for maritime navigation systems. The project aims at developing a viable system services concept closing the information gap between ship and shore. SENSE’s core value is information exchange using worldwide standardized dataflows and thus ensure easy scalability and integration of new vessels.

Re-using civil aircraft to create constellations for providing high spatial & temporal Earth observation data and telecommunication services; a most ecological constellation re-using the most reliable platform.
