It is official! Following the success of the previous innovation competitions, the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) announces today #myEUSpace! The EUSPA-led competition targets innovators and entrepreneurs ready to develop and commercialise innovative solutions that leverage EU space data and services. It goes beyond the current space-applications horizon, fusing and testing new technologies in location-based services, smart mobility, smart agriculture, geomatics, and for the first time, quantum technologies.

Free and easily accessible EU Space data have allowed the creation of original and iinnovative projects and services in sectors such as IoT, precision farming, robotics and drones among others. Accurate positioning offered by Galileo, data and high-resolution imagery from Copernicus paired with the use of quantum technology will set European innovation on a new trajectory.

With a prize pool of € 1 million and over 50 awards up for grabs, #myEUspace competition - part of the European Commission Cassini initiative will help innovators develop and market  disruptive, space-based commercial solutions able to respond to emerging societal needs and serve various domains such as smart mobility and agriculture,  health and leisure, and logistics and smart cities, among others. 

The competition consists of two independent and parallel tracks, each one with a list of goals and deliverables. 

Track 1 - From Idea to Prototype/customer validation – aims to turn a theoretical idea into a product prototype/beta version. Track 2 - From Prototype to Product /Market entry – aims to develop a prototype or beta idea into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). 

The competition looks at solutions where the use and integration of EU Space data and services can disrupt the following six thematic areas:

To ensure EU-wide interoperability, real-time, precise train positioning and high levels of safety, ERTMS could switch to EU space solutions. EUSPA-funded project CLUG, has made concrete steps towards providing a cost-efficient train tracking solution based on satellite technology together with other sensors and data.

Travelling around Europe by train comes with a lot of benefits. It is a great way to get a sense of the country you are visiting just by looking outside of the window while it is also a comfortable means of transport that enables you to make new acquaintances with fellow travelers. What’s more, rail is one of the most environmentally friendly modes of transport. In the EU, rail is responsible for less than 0.5% of transport-related greenhouse gas emissions. This makes it one of the most sustainable forms of passenger and freight transport. 

Knowing the exact position of a train is at the heart of rail operations across the Union. Real-time train localisation allows passengers to know whether their train is delayed but also aids rail operators in train traffic management. The European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS), is a major industrial project being implemented by the European Union, which will create an interoperable railway system in Europe that is more efficient and safer. 

To ensure EU-wide interoperability, real-time, precise train positioning and high levels of safety, the ERTMS currently relies on a series of costly ground instruments. In the coming years, this is set to change and ERTMS could switch to EU space solutions. EUSPA-funded project CLUG, has made concrete steps towards providing a cost-efficient train tracking solution based on EU satellite technology together with other sensors and data.

Project CLUG at a glance 

Experienced rail operators and infrastructure managers came together to define a set of specifications and operational scenarios that meet the stringiest safety needs of the rail sector. The specifications are used by the architects of the CLUG consortium who are currently in the process of rolling out the system.
