GEOhub: A Brand-new Open Innovation Network for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development

Telespazio and its subsidiaries e-GEOS and GAF have signed, along with Politecnico di Milano, Università “La Sapienza” of Rome, SEELab of SDA Bocconi, and other businesses and start-ups, the constitutional manifesto for GEOHub, an open innovation network aimed at developing geoinformation solutions to support environmental protection and sustainable development.

Milan  14 May 2019

 

The manifesto has been signed today at the Living Planet Symposium, amongst the biggest Earth observation conferences in the world, organised by the European Space Agency (ESA), at the MiCo Conference Centre in Milan.

The intention behind GEOHub is to seize the opportunities offered by the technological blending and coming together of the geoinformation satellite services and big data worlds, as well as artificial intelligence applications, cloud services, blockchainsand machine learning.

GEOHub’s aim is to provide innovative services that turn big space data into targeted, timely, and user-friendly applications, for sectors like emergency management, precision agriculture, environmental and infrastructure monitoring, and business intelligence.

Telespazio, e-GEOS and GAF want to increase the GEOHub social innovation hub by adding skills and advantages from the academic and innovation worlds. The aim is to redesign the geoinformation area in the near future and to identify ever more innovative tools for protecting our Planet.

Towards the Digital Twin of Italian Soil

Leonardo, through e-GEOS, a company owned by the Italian Space Agency (20%) and Telespazio (80%), will support the Department for Sustainable Development (DiSS) of the Italian Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) in the development of a Digital Twin of the Italian territory. The initiative falls under PNRR investment M2C4 I.1.1, which focuses on the development of an advanced monitoring and forecasting system. This high-resolution digital model of the terrain, built using airborne laser surveys (LiDAR) and aerogravimetric data, will serve as a strategic asset for understanding the morphology of the land and will lay the foundation for future Digital Twins capable of simulating and further studying its behaviour.
