The SpaceWave consortium are studying the international markets and trends in the Blue Growth Economy as well as the sectoral challenges where Earth Observation data could provide viable solutions for Blue Growth. Earth Observation (EO) refers to the use of remote sensing technologies such as satellites and dedicated measurement instruments, to monitor the state and evolution of our planet on land, at sea and in the atmosphere. The project is identifying the current and future commercial and technological potential of Earth Observation technologies to enable the Blue Economy sector to grow and aims to define the most promising technologies and identify appropriate clusters and business networks to work with in targeted countries.
