Global Earth Observation Challenge

Come up with new business ideas based on Satellite Data!

The proliferation of data.

The world is generating more and more data sources every day; and this is also true for the Earth Observation part.

So what can we do with all this data?


If you are brave enough to join this adventure, you will have to demonstrate that you are ready to develop new value added services based on satellite imagery. These services can support insurance and financial companies, consumer market, entertainment, video games, transports, logistics, energy, agriculture, maritime, forestry, and many more…

Be inspired and use some of the technology trends and the global resources proposed today: Machine and Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Blockchain, Cloud facilities, Internet of Things, cyber security, GPS, etc..

There is no limitation in user applications and information you can bring to people and develop fast growing sustainable business.

If you believe in any other business which would permit to leverage satellite and other data sources to provide value added services, let’s do it!
