Copernicus downstream applications and the European Data Economy - Strategic autonomy in developing, deploying and using global space-based infrastructures, services, applications and data 2022 - applications (HORIZON-EUSPA-2022-SPACE)

Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

• Europe needs to strengthen its position as a provider of products and services based on data, enabling new market opportunities. The EU is promoting the use and uptake of Copernicus, a leading European data provider, as a driver of innovation for the European Data Economy.
• Actions under this Topic will contribute to increasing the integration and uptake of Copernicus into the economy and/or solving societal challenges.
• The integration of Copernicus data assets with data contributed by other vertical domains into sizeable and scalable applications enabled by modern ICT technologies will greatly enhance Copernicus's downstream market. Likewise, many vertical domains (such as agriculture, food security, health, energy, natural resources, environmental monitoring, insurances, tourism, security etc.) will benefit from the use of Copernicus.
