The use of Earth Observation (EO) data is now widely recognized as an enabler for decision support in the public sphere and for efficient land management, particularly in contexts related to environmental monitoring and risk prevention.
However, the complexity of accessing, integrating and interpreting these data still limits their systematic use in operational processes.
Out of this need comes BIOSAT Marketplace, a project co-funded by Cyber 4.0 as part of innovation and technology transfer activities.
The initiative, coordinated by IPTSAT, has led to the development of a digital platform that enables the transformation of complex satellite data into accessible, certified, and ready-to-use Earth Observation services to support the operational activities of public administrations and businesses.
The project aims to bridge the gap between the potential of Earth observation-derived data and the operational needs of end users by promoting the use of information from ESA/EU missions, Copernicus and the future IRIDE constellation.
In this context, BIOSAT Marketplace enables the creation of a digital ecosystem based on a marketplace of predefined EO services designed to provide secure, simplified and rapid access to value-added data and services, facilitating their integration into decision-making processes.
Innovation and key technologies
– Web-based platform with unified access to multiple sources of satellite data (Copernicus, Sentinel, Landsat and commercial high-resolution on-demand);
– On-demand services for environmental monitoring, land management, agriculture and emergencies;
– Blockchain-based certification system to ensure integrity, traceability and authenticity of data;
Scope of application
– Local government for decision-making and land management support;
– SMEs and professionals for the development of innovative services based on Earth Observation data;
– Entities and agencies engaged in the promotion and exploitation of Copernicus, ESA and IRIDE services.
BIOSAT Marketplace is, therefore, a concrete step toward greater dissemination and exploitation of Earth observation data, helping to make them more accessible, reliable and usable in operational contexts.
The project encourages the adoption of EO services by public administrations and businesses, strengthening decision-making capacity and promoting innovation in land and resource management processes.
