EUSPA is hitting the road in September after more than a year of hiatus in physical events! Starting from Startup Ole from 6-10 of September, and while observing the necessary COVID hygiene rules, our staff will be present in a set of conferences and exhibitions!

September is bound to be a busy month for EUSPA and EU Space and we could not be more excited!  After a year of digital events, we are greeting autumn with a series of events, many of them in a physical or hybrid format.

From Spain to Poland and Denmark, our EUSPA team will be present at events around Europe to share the latest developments in EU space services and applications, and promote some of the exciting new initiatives in store for entrepreneurs and innovators. 

‘’Going hybrid was not a problem, it allowed us to reach out to even larger EU space user communities’’ says Fiammetta Diani, Head of EUSPA Market Development Department. ‘’I am excited that we will be able to meet again physically and forge new connections. The transition to EUSPA and the creation of the EU Space Programme has paved the way for more synergies between satellite navigation, Earth observation and telecommunications, which I am sure are of interest to many start-ups and SME’s among others.’’ Diani concludes. 

Here is our events roster/line up:

- Startup Ole (Spain, 6th to 10th of September): held in Salamanca, Startup Ole will gather start-ups, accelerators, investors, and public institutions, and through activities such as matchmaking, panels and roundtables, will help them develop synergies, secure financing opportunities and boost the EU’s digital transformation.

- European Rover Challenge (Poland, 10th to 12th of September): the European Rover Challenge (ERC, ERC Space & Robotics) is a prestigious space & robotics event combining international competitions of mobile robots with scientific and technological shows. ERC is also a meeting place for representatives of the European world of science and business interested in the use of space and robotic technologies.

- Tech BBQ (Denmark, 16th and 17th of September): an entrepreneurship festival for tech start-ups and entrepreneurs to promote innovation and technology in the Nordic start-up ecosystem.

More details about our stands, registration links will become available soon. Hope to see you there!

Hundreds of participants came together from 18-20 June 2021 to hack the future of our green spaces with European space technologies. EUSPA supported the hackathon with various experts and market development professionals who helped participants elaborate and finetune their solutions.

From monitoring forest changes and developing ‘green’ indicators and optimal access routes to forecasting air pollutants, UV indexes and park congestion, the possibilities offered by the EU Space Programme are infinite. The 1st CASSINI Hackathon took place in 10 European locations and tasked participants with leveraging geospatial information from Copernicus Earth observation data and its services, together with positioning technologies from Galileo and EGNOS, to digitise Europe’s green spaces. 

At the end of the weekend 18-20 June, each location selected their top team to move forward to the European demo day and awards ceremony on 24th June. Each team pitched their solution to a jury of experts who engaged the winners in question and answer sessions before evaluating each idea. 

And now, without further ado, the three winning teams are:

1st Place: SportCasts,  from the Netherlands for the Challenge: Staying fit & healthy

Idea: “Taking the hassle out of the outdoors" is our slogan. Tired of the unpredictable environment while doing sport? SportCasts provide you with several data of the environment around you such as wave height for sailing sports and track the pollution within the location.

2nd Place: TreeCount&Care from Czechia for the challenge: Discover your city

Idea: TreeCount&Care helps municipalities and citizens identify unhealthy trees that need watering or other care such as pruning or pesticide application.

3rd Place: Sandless from France for the challenge: Protecting our rural areas

Idea: Sandless software analyses the past satellite images of other cities around the world to help you decide how to build your city of tomorrow!

CASSINI sequel on the horizon! 

The 2nd CASSINI Hackathon is set for 5-7 November 2021 and will tackle the challenge of connecting the Arctic with European satellite technologies. But where will the Hackathon take place? From Croatia to Iceland, this truly pan-European project is set to make an impact all across Europe! Find all you need to know about the CASSINI 2nd Hackathon here!
