Concept
What is the state of the EO industry? What are the challenges and opportunities for the near future?
The main idea of the conference was to provide the audience with an overview of the state of the EO industry, starting from "the PAST" and looking towards "the FUTURE”. The conference panel was composed by ESA, EARSC, Planetek and other industry leaders.
The event has been also the occasion to share Planetek’s experience as contributor in the EO sector and in ESA programmes during the last 25 years. A glance was given at the most recent trends and developments, as: Geo-analytics, Artificial Intelligence, blockchain, Sustainable Development Goals, satellite onboard data handling and services development, and so forth.
A round table led by EARSC hosted industry representatives to illustrate experiences and challenges concerning the future of Earth Observation.
The ESA Director of EOP, Josef Aschbacher, held the closing speech of the conference.
