Driving a European Industrial Policy

Identify and agree key elements of a future EO industrial strategy including:

  • 1. Drive an industrial strategy to create a European Marketplace for EO services
  • Overcome fragmentation while maintaining diversity (supply & demand)
  • Provide common/easy access to data/information for the potential users
  • Provide a network of collaboration sites with e-commerce
  • Develop appropriate links to ICT initiatives (Big Data, cloud etc) such as

Helix-Nebula, ELIXIR, EPOS, Etc

  • Promote agreed governance structure for further defining roles of private,

academic and public actors.

  • Develop operating rules to protect; IPR, security, privacy, and the legal

aspects of access to free and open data.

  • Move the public sector from defining solutions in favor of defining

information needs (user federation & anchor tenancy)

  • 2. Increased institutional focus on R&D and private sector enablement; create
  • pportunities and safe investment environment for commercial players

Concrete next steps

Organise industrial perspective to:

  • Develop common and shared perspective of the infrastructure (EO Innovation

Europe) and how it should be governed

  • Include all stakeholders; industry, EC (Grow, RTD, Connect), ESA
  • Establish a transparent process of regular dialogue, alignment,

complementing related EC and (EC and ESA-) Member State initiatives

  • Coordination as part of generation of implementation plan
  • Coordination as part of rules, policy, legal definition process
  • Complement existing institutional fora through industrial consultation

mechanism: Regular meetings (every 4 months and including EC) to jointly monitor progress and discuss options
