The 10 teams of H2020 funded Point IoT project are now into phase II, a three-month virtual sprint with one-on-one coaching from industry experts to ensure the solutions are both technically robust and strategically positioned for market success.

Every year, H2020-funded project oint IoT - gives 10 teams the opportunity to tackle crucial industry problems using IoT and Galileo technologies. Point IoT teams up with company leaders in the field of IoT and with the guidance of GNSS specialists from the GSA helps tomorrow’s EU entrepreneurs bring to life their business ideas. 

This year, teams made up of at least two participants with complementary skills where asked to put pen to paper and solve the challenges of Asset Tracking for Large Scale Infrastructure and Personal Safety in the Workplace. With EGNSS-backed submissions ranging from marine and land monitoring to indoor Galileo SAR solutions, the EU innovation bar was raised high and the decision for the 10 finalists was not an easy one.

The second phase of Point IoT which began earlier in September met the 10 finalists in a virtual boot camp held in Paris. The tech savvy teams were introduced to some essential tools such as insights into IoT, Galileo and innovation strategies by experts from the European GNSS Agency and its partners from the Orange Business Services, SpaceTec Partners, Verhaert Masters. Participants had a chance to get to know each other through interactive quizzes and virtual round tables, while one-to-one mentoring gave finalists the opportunity to have tailored answers to their specific needs. The bootcamp was capped off with a variety of tech talks by UBISCALE, u-blox, and SAP about upcoming trends and innovations.

The third stage -already on- is a three-month virtual sprint which comes with one-to-one coaching from IoT and GNSS specialists as well as market development professionals to ensure the solutions are both technically robust and strategically positioned for market success. Teams have also been assigned a lead mentor to motivate and drive progress. 

Point.IoT will culminate in a demo day, where the teams will showcase their success by pitching their solutions to the jury, including the project challenge partners. The jury will evaluate each team’s solution and decide on the overall winner of the €20,000 cash prize. The jury will also select five teams to join an investor roadshow, benefitting from networking opportunities, and with the teams being introduced to the programme’s corporate partners and maybe even to their first customers.

If you’re keen on knowing more about how Galileo and IoT intersect or have previous experience from a user perspective, join us for the 3rd EUSpace Applications User Consultation Platform (UCP). The UCP - part of the EU Space Week 2020 - serves as forum where a wide range of users from 12 different market segments meet to confer on the requirements of location, navigation, timing and Earth observation services.

The EU Space Programme is evolving and so are the needs and requirements of its user community. The 3rd edition of the User Consultation Platform (UCP) will be held on 1-2 December 2020 as part of the preparatory phase of the 2020 European Space Week. The Consultation is open to user communities, industries, service providers and R&D leveraging space for the creation of applications, businesses, and innovation.

The User Consultation Platform (UCP) is a biennial event involving a wide range of users from 12 different market segments. It is a space where users from 12 different market segments meet to discuss their needs for applications relying on Location, Navigation, Timing, Earth Observation, and Secure Telecommunications. New entry for the 2020 edition, the UCP will include other Copernicus users and GovSatCom users in addition to the classic EGNSS ones.

The Consultation is engaging with user communities, industries, service providers and R&D, bringing together expertise and insights from different applications, sharing experiences, and strengthening a EU network of innovators that can strive only by working together.

Building on the central role of users in shaping EU Space applications, the outcomes of the Consultation will help informing the decision-making process around service definition and service provision, leveraging on the unique perspective of EU Space multi-disciplinary user community.

Most of the work of the UCP will be carried out during 1-2 December, in 12 parallel panel sessions grouping users by market segment: Road, Agriculture & Forestry, Maritime & Ocean Monitoring, Geomatics & Urban Planning, Public Transport, Natural Disasters & Emergency Response, Critical Infrastructures, Rail, Mass market, Space Users, Aviation & Drones and Governmental. During these sessions several topics will be addressed including an update on the user requirements, testing campaigns, main market trends, evolution of Galileo/EGNOS, and R&D. A new entry for the 2020 edition will be the addition of other Copernicus users and GovSatCom users. 

On December 7, representatives of each segment will present the outcomes of the panel sessions during the User Consultation Plenary at the European Space Week 2020. During the plenary the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the panellists from the European Commission and the European GNSS Agency (GSA). Insights from the UCP will feed into the future release of the new Reports on User needs and Requirements.

To register click here, and get ready to engage with business leaders, experts and innovators shaping the future of next-generation space applications.
