Hom e m arket – The Netherlands

Hom e m arket – The Netherlands

Hom e m arket – SW OT analysis Strong: Need for innovation due to ground prices Weak: Densely measured by in situ / airborne / UAV’s Opportunity: Rectangular flat parcels, small country Threats: Need for higher resolution data

Earth observation in The Netherlands • 15 - 20 SME’s (1 -100 FTE), which focus on satellite data • • Mainly spin -offs of universities (Wageningen, Delft, Amsterdam) Mainly spin -offs of universities (Wageningen, Delft, Amsterdam) • Market: - - The Netherlands The Netherlands (precision agriculture, deformations) (precision agriculture, deformations) - Marine (marine conditions, water quality) - Tropics (deforestation) - - Developing countries (water management, food security) Developing countries (water management, food security)

Lim ited grow th dow nstream sector • Satellite images are expensive • The (foreseen) customer is unaware of the possibilities • Competition with aerial images (resolution!) • • Only SME’s involved Only SME’s involved • Limited connection with geo information market • A scientist is in general not an entrepeneur …

Satellite data portal • Economic profit for end- users (precision agriculture) • Reduction of pollution (pesticides in agriculture) • Reduction of governmental costs (e.g. deformation measurements) • Quick start for NL value adding sector • Ministry of Economic Affairs signs contract in Oct 2011. • Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment joins later in Dec 2012. Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment joins later in Dec 2012.
