What is EARSC?
EARSC is a trade association (non-profit Belgian company), founded in
1989, which represents European companies covering the full value
chain from data to information and including infrastructure.
Our focus is on remote sensing from space-based platforms (satellites)
but we also have members which are aircraft and RPAS operators.
Our mission is:
• to foster the development of the European Geo-Information
Service Industry
• to represent European geo-information providers, creating a
sustainable network between industry, decision makers and users

From the Copernicus Economic Benefit Study
performed under an assignment from the
European Space Agency
From Satellites to Supermarkets
The Economic Benefits
The Study shows that the Finnish & Swedish economies benefit from the
use of satellite imagery coming from Copernicus;
Between €24m and €116m of economic benefit is made each year.
Icebreakers use imagery to find the best routes through the ice
Ships save fuel and time
€2.3m pa
Ports are able to operate more efficiently
€2.1-€3.3m pa
Factories are able to
operate all year round
€5.8-€9.4m pa
Citizens can be sure that the supermarkets (and
petrol stations and pharmacies) are stocked.
€6.3-€63m pa
€3.5-€17.5m pa

Concept of a European Marketplace
Build a European Platform for EO Services around which to organise a
coherent and efficient offer to a global market. Platform needs 2 elements:
1. An infrastructure / platform to give access to data and users access to
products (EO Innovation Europe is one element)
2. An organisation / Marketplace to ensure that users needs are met.
EARSC propose to create a Marketplace Alliance for EO Services.
PPI provides the ideal way to reflect public demand and establish the basis to
provide access to a global market
Overall, provide a European alternative to the US IT giants built on European
values providing access to data and information
EAFIP Paris, 27th October 2015
PPI for the European Marketplace
• Single Digital Market: Address complexity of procurement at the European level
• A European solution to overcome the fragmentation and build upon the diversity
of skills
• PPI focus on local government and regions
• Digital services addressing many sectoral applications
• Access to many data types
• satellites, UAV, in-situ,
• open data and commercially licensed data
• Big Data ie take user to data not data to user
• geospatial products
• E-commerce built upon European values; respect IPR, privacy, security etc
