BUSINESS NEED. Climate change leads to infrastructure disruption, food insecurity and global losses and hence, does directly affect safety and security of people. Nowadays, when an event occurs emergency protocols are activated, and damages are evaluated in the following days. There is a need of having vulnerability assessment information, before the event occurs to know where the most vulnerable area, asset or population is. Knowing the most vulnerable point and its dynamic evolution (where the impact will be worst) is a key information to generate an adaptative answer to climate extreme events and minimize socio economic damages. However, current impact analysis methods are semi-automated, limiting the speed, coverage and number of analyses that can be done. Our solution, interoperable, fast to deploy and easy to use, is based in the analysis of different data sources such as Copernicus (Satellite data), Meteo patterns and OpenData. MARKET OPPORTUNITY. During the last decade thousands of satellites have been put in orbit creating the new space economy. The total amount of investment done just in Copernicus Satellites amounts to 8,2 Billion. In addition, according to Space Capital the total equity investment over the last decade in the space economy was €177.7 billion. However, the penetration over different industrial markets is very low , putting at risk the Return of Investment (ROI). EARTHPULSE GOAL. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the transformational technique of our era. Satellite data, and in particular, Earth Observation (EO), will greatly benefit, as other areas, from its application by lowering the cost of adoption and accelerating market uptake. Our company goal is to accelerate the market uptake of EO data with AI. At EarthPulse we are working hard on overcoming these barriers with the objective to leverage the full potential of AI4EO to make satellite analytics accessible to anyone (experts and non-expert users) through our Software SPAI.

JULIA - short for Joint developments for Urban resiLIence connecting users to public transport through spAce technology- aims at fostering the uptake of EU Space services and data in the long lead public transport market at the global scale, raising awareness among key decision makers (PTAs, PTOs, cities) on that EGNSS pays off -both from technical and economic perspectives-, ultimately unlocking significant, measurable, and durable impact. It will do so by advancing existing, mature public transport-oriented, user-centric applications leveraging digital technologies, and piloting them to mature, market-ready TRL7-9 solutions. An “Operating System” for Public Transport Operators will be developed building on an already existing Demand Responsive Transit platform, enabling new modules for managing public transport operations, including Artificial Intelligence to enhance existing algorithms to match demand and offer. APIs and webhooks will power different kinds of integrations. These include an information layer for travelers and city stakeholders on air quality using Copernicus data. Curated information and KPIs will be disseminated to the public transport industry through the "Global Observatory of EU Space Data & Services in Public Transport", and selected data sets will be shared in a decentralised way following the EU Data Spaces reference architecture. As a result of JULIA, SMEs participating in the project are expected to raise their Return on Investment (ROI) by more than 20% by 2028, while +200.000 vehicles will potentially be equipped with Galileo advanced features beyond the project. Outreach of the project results toward the global public transport industry will be maximised through a bold dissemination strategy led by ERTICO and POLIS.
