EO Commercialisation Forum

Organised by ESA’s Earth Observation Programme (EOP) and Commercialisation, Industry and Competitiveness (CIC) Directorates, the ESA EO Commercialisation Forum (ESA CommEO) brings together stakeholders from the Earth observation (EO) industry, including start-ups, businesses, policymakers and investors to discuss opportunities, challenges and strategies to expand the commercial use of EO data and services.

Being held from 27 to 28 November 2024 at KAP Europa (Frankfurt), the second edition of the event will be at the intersection of Earth, climate initiatives, and EO commercialisation, with the underlying theme of ‘Addressing climate challenges and opportunities with Earth observation for human and planet prosperity’. Aligning with the ESA Agenda 2025 framework, it will highlight the importance of strengthening the European competitiveness by involving all its stakeholders and boosting commercialisation for a green and digital Europe.

This year’s ESA CommEO will once again reward the best pitches for innovative commercialisation plans for EO products and/or services at the CommEO Award. This award will be focused on ideas targeting the agriculture, decarbonisation, and green finance markets. 

Entities that wish to apply for the CommEO Award must do so by following the criteria described on the event website section.
