Bringing together the best-in-class technological and industrial expertise in France and Europe to accompany the revolution of the space sector
United Arab Emirates – September 30, 2021 – Today marks the signature of the Space Data Marketplace project whose mission is to facilitate access to space data and create value for the whole space industry in France, Europe and internationally, by offering inspiring use cases.
Supported by the French Recovery Plan and the French space government agency CNES, the development of Space Data Marketplace will be driven by a consortium led by Dawex and including Airbus Defence and Space, Dassault Systèmes, Thales Alenia Space, Geoflex, VisioTerra, namR, Altametris, Murmuration and Occitanie Data leveraging improved capabilities for accessing and distributing data and services on the platform.
Space Data Marketplace aims at contributing directly to ease access to space data and promote their wider use thanks to
- the innovative data exchange technology that simplifies and streamlines the circulation of data and related services,
- the development of innovative future proof applications in the field of satellite imagery analytics, simulation and 3D.
Space Data Marketplace is the one-stop shop for the space industry and all organizations in multiple sectors that are increasingly interested in using space data. Gathering best-in-class technologies and leading organizations in the consortium, Space Data Marketplace promotes a trusted data exchange and data sharing environment to build strong data partnerships, foster creativity and renew opportunities, boosting the development of the space industry.
“It’s an honor to contribute to the development of Space Data Marketplace, empowering the industry to build influential data partnerships.” says Laurent Lafaye, Dawex co-CEO. “The platform will act as the backbone of the spatial data ecosystem, leveraging space data to optimize mobility and logistics, tackle key climate change challenges thanks to housing renovation and energy compliance upgrades, and so many more fascinating use cases.”
Space data holds stunning insights for many organizations coming from multiple sectors. Democratizing its access will lead to new innovations through the development of new data-driven services and solutions.
