The Coastal Ecosystems – MRV service provides monitoring, reporting and verification of conservation and restoration of coastal ecosystems such as mangroves and saltmarshes. Through innovate use of satellite earth observation, key ecosystem characteristics, such as ecosystem extent, above-ground biomass and ecosystem changes are measured. The service supports the development of functional natural capital markets by providing valuable inputs for establishing the integrity of carbon and biodiversity credits. 

AquaMap is Marble Imaging’s geospatial decision-support tool that uses Earth Observation (EO) data and environmental data to identify optimal aquaculture sites, supporting food security and reducing financial losses. With global seafood demand soaring and EO-based solutions still nascent, AquaMap taps into a high growth market with scalable, data driven analytics. By computing an Aquaculture Suitability Index (ASI), AquaMap presents an easily understandable scalable way to identify optimal locations, mitigate risks, and improve sustainability in aquaculture planning and investment

Surface Water and Land Use Monitoring (SWALUM) integrates deep learning with Sentinel-2   satellite imagery to detect small water bodies that traditional satellite monitoring misses. This   innovative service provides municipalities, agricultural technology providers, and environmental   services with reliable, cost-effective water mapping for flood management, irrigation optimization,   and carbon credit verification, addressing critical needs in climate adaptation and water resource   management. 

This activity is a study aimed at assessing the feasibility of the development of a service based on satellite assets and cutting edge informatic technologies for a more effective management of level crossing monitoring and maintenance and the increase of road users’ safety at railroad intersections. The conceived service is proposed in response to the need of decreasing level crossing accident occurrence and, thus, making railroad intersection safer. The feasibility of service development is studied from a technical and economical point of view. The best compromise between costs and high performance is foreseen and finally achieved. 

Leveraging space assets (Earth Observation and Satellite Communication) to develop a Digital Twin tool as a service, supporting sustainable and resilient agriculture in Africa. 

The ambition of nEmO is to deliver fish catch predictions through data models that integrate fishing activity and environmental data, complemented by an EO-based toolbox. This toolbox displays environmental maps and offers simple multivariate analysis for selected fish species, providing valuable insights for fishermen. Integrating fish catch predictions and EO-based information enables to create more accurate assessments of fish stock abundance and maximizing operational usability within the industry. This synergy strengthens the effectiveness of the service, increasing the likelihood of market acceptance and adoption. 

Hidromod's AquaFarm project focuses on optimizing water management, integrating field-level monitoring and modeling with national-scale analysis. It enables sustainable resource use, and improved crop productivity through advanced simulation tools and decision-support systems tailored for water managers and policymakers.

AquaGuard Technologies revolutionizes maritime safety and environmental protection. Our AI-powered geospatial SaaS platform proactively detects abandoned derelict vessels (ADV’s), minimizing environmental  pollution & damage, helping to advance a circular economy and enhancing resilience to climate change.

Methane Monitor enhances landfill methane emission estimation using satellite observations combined with on-ground tracer gas measurements. This innovative approach accounts for daily and seasonal variations, improving accuracy over traditional methods. The project, co-funded by ESA Kickstart, supports policymakers, regulators, and waste operators in assessing landfill emissions and promoting waste-to-energy as a lower-GHG alternative.

MyCoast is revolutionising coastal safety with satellite-enabled emergency response and environmental monitoring. Integrating AI-driven hazard detection, GNSS-IR tidal monitoring, and Satcom emergency connectivity, our smart beacons provide real-time safety alerts, ensuring vital information reaches those who need it—anywhere, anytime. Backed by ESA, MyCoast is pioneering next-generation technology to save lives and enhance global coastal resilience

The “Alizeti” project was designed to help smallholder farmers growing high-value crops in Kenya to produce better harvests and to sell them more efficiently to the organisations who further process and sell them. Four pilot clients in the project were provided with custom-built dashboards on the agriBORA platform based on in-situ and remotely sensed data.
 

Patient wandering off is a major concern in long term care facilities. The CDPP project responds to that concern by adding geo-fencing and Search & Rescue (SAR) capability using Galileo GNSS. This prevents dementia patients from getting lost and wandering off facilities.

SatLine is an innovative rail track monitoring solution, integrating space technology and a cloud-based platform; it enables precise detection of changes in rail geometry and by providing maintenance alerts, enhances rail safety and operational efficiency across rail networks.
 

Most Activity Tracker apps overlook key physiological data, especially for physically impaired individuals. This project bridges this gap with cutting-edge biometric sensors measuring heart rate, core temperature, hydration, and stride mechanics – promoting safe, optimized physical activity. Backed by real-world athlete insights, this project enables smart and comprehensive performance tracking, redefining fitness tracking for all.

Spaceline Labs (SPL) will deliver Earth Observation (EO) data to customers through SPLs software platform. The platform will provide access to EO data from satellites and a fleet of proprietary balloon-borne Satellites based in the stratosphere - developed and operated by SPL. The first iteration of this stratospheric technology is described as TIGRIS in this KickStart study.

Eyes on Plastic provides a service solution, which combines multiple sensor components into a joint mapping and monitoring solution for plastic in the aquatic environment. By flying high and diving deep, plastic litter can be monitored at all angles and scales. On top, the service invites everybody to actively keep the eyes open on plastic spanning local info to a global reach.

SETSITS develops Lanternn by ValerannTM (LbV) for Networks - Valerann’s Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) engineered to resolve critical inefficiencies in road network management using real-time data fusion and analytics. Offering a transformative solution for operators, LbV for Networks enables hyper-accurate data management to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability while leveraging proprietary technology to overcome the limitations of outdated processes.
