Project * Walloon regional and private fundings Gather competences to set-up and operate EO Régions! system 2 technological implementations (Wallonia and Senegal/Vietnam) Integrated with new « Big Data in Wallonia » infrastructure Ensure SENTINEL data access combined with other existing geospatial data Adapt services to SENTINEL data when needed Establish authoriting entity to promote EO reference data sets Enable mutualization and re-use of data, processes and services * EO Regions ! is a project submitted under call 13 – Plan Marshall – SKYWIN. Approval by Walloon Government type R2 under validation for convention signature.

System offer for european regions and emerging countries Boost geospatial markets and contribute to reach expected COPERNICUS socio-economic benefits Open and ease consumption of EO services by non-experts and « non-space aware » users  High potential to create new services financially affordable for all users  facilitate valorization of research results in SMEs and spin-offs

Expe pecta ctations tions an and R d Rec ecommen ommenda dations tions • Technological challenges VS Commercial/Marketing challenges • Don’t under estimate commercial/marketing challenges to reach new market segments such as non-experts and « non-space » aware users • Need to develop/support local intermediaries (SMEs ?) to efficiently introduce space added- values into existing new users’ day -to-day working tasks taking into account regional context, needs and existing geospatial data  high level products with «almost ‘invisible’ EO data contributions »
