EIT Climate-KIC is participating in EXPANDEO, the European Association of Remote Sensing Companies (EARSC)’s annual conference, where European Earth Observation companies get the chance to learn about different market opportunities in different sectors while growing their business through networking and other interactive sessions. This year the conference focuses on how policy, the green transition, commercialisation and international partnerships can come together to foster new market opportunities and put our industry on an exponential line of further growth.
As a side event to EXPANDEO, the PROTECT project is organising a side conference on the 11th of June and the learning from the 2 years of the coordination and support action focused on the use of pre-commercial procurement as a lever in the use of EO-based climate services and a means to support innovation and meet the needs of European local authorities. One of the sessions is moderated by EIT Climate-KIC and a final agenda will follow:
Session #1: PROTECT – Lessons learnt: How can Pre-Commercial Procurement support climate change adaptation efforts through Earth Observation (EO)-based solutions? Moderated by Stefka Domuzova, EIT Climate KIC
This session will set the scene by exploring the interactions between climate change adaptation efforts and existing commitments on behalf of public authorities and the potential of pre-commercial procurement to assist them and provide tailored EO-based solutions for these challenges
