Earth Observation and Telecommunications
Earth Observation acts as a catalyst of expertise for companies looking to integrate satellite data into their business models. The core activity sits within the capacity building area, through which the team guides companies, startups and SMEs along a structured path — from identifying the opportunities offered by Earth Observation to developing and putting into operation proprietary EO-enabled solutions.
The Foundation supports the development of algorithms for extracting information from Earth Observation data, with an approach focused on knowledge transfer: the goal is not just to deliver a solution, but to build the capabilities a company needs internally to independently evolve and maintain its own data-driven products and services over time.
This support model is applied in particular to the following sectors:
Agrifoodtech: Supporting agri-food supply chain companies in creating tools to monitor crop conditions over time, analyze environmental, biophysical and biochemical parameters, and provide decision support across the entire value chain, from field production to final product traceability.
Insurtech: Supporting insurance companies in developing satellite data-based solutions for risk assessment, fraud detection, verification of insured assets and claims adjustment, enabling more accurate pricing models and more efficient claims management processes.
Transportation & Mobility: Capacity building for transport and mobility operators in adopting Earth Observation data for infrastructure monitoring, managing risk linked to natural and man-made hazards, and optimizing logistics networks.
Energy: Supporting energy sector companies in developing EO applications for asset and infrastructure monitoring, assessing renewable energy potential, and managing environmental impact.
