New Opportunities

• New digital services built on big data

• Open data from public sources opening vast

new application possibilities

• Global market for geospatial services where

EO plays a key part.

Threatened by:

• Strong commercial data supply

from US suppliers underpinned by

US policy (CIBORG).

• Entry of IT players into the

geospatial market

• Emerging VA and geospatial players

encouraged by US government

outsourcing.

Strong European capability:

• Copernicus, national programmes, IT skills

and capabilities

• a strong and competent industry delivering

EO products and services

• Excellent science base (ESA 2016 LP

conference provides good example)

Barriers!

• Industrial access to the Copernicus

data and information

• Fragmentation of the industry driven

by national approaches

• Public sector role in delivery of the

services conflicting with industry

(mission creep)

EARSC Position Paper (Feb 2016)

Download: http://earsc.org/file_download/308/EARSC+PP+-+Creating+a+European+marketplace+for+EO+services.pdf

Our position paper sets out the numerous challenges facing the EO services sector today, such as:

• Fragmentation of European industry – some 450 companies in Europe, most are Micro/SMEs

• Difficulty for companies to access Copernicus data

• Challenge as US IT giants enter the geospatial arena

• Procurement practices in-adapted to digital services

• Promotion of European EO services in export markets around the world

• Unclear boundary between public and private sector


What is EARSC’s Vision?

A European Marketplace for EO services, with:

• A common identity where buyers can find European EO services, data and products

of all kinds;

• Appropriate technical, legal, organisational and operational structures in place for

the Marketplace to function;

• Operational platforms that link Copernicus and other geospatial data sources (public

and private) on which to build EO Services;

• An environment whereby private initiatives can flourish (clear public / private roles).


Our aim is to help overcome the fragmentation in the European industry, and enable companies to develop their business in a global market.

To facilitate this, we propose to establish a European Marketplace Alliance for EO Services (MAEOS)

EARSC Vision: European Marketplace


EARSC Vision: European Marketplace

Variety of data from all sources = Data platform



We envisage:

•A layered supply-chain architecture, where industry participants can contribute and compete in each layer

•Enable access to data, infrastructure, tools, expertise – both public/open and commercial

•Secure environment that protects intellectual property and commercial licences

•Collaborative environment that encourages competition and innovation

What can the future look like?

– an efficient supply-chain

Below the Marketplace tier; a thriving ecosystem should exist

• Service providers with innovative business models

• Platform services

• Access to many varied data types

• Public / open data

• Commercial satellite data

• In-situ measurements

• Socio-economic data

• Service providers and Brokers at each level

• Our interest is to make sure that the ecosystem works (well).

What should be within the MAEOS?

Policy & Governance

Market Support Common IdentityMarketplace

Operation

Stakeholder Consultation– 107 distinct and valid replies out of 140 in total

42% of the companies wish MAEOS to include an operational Marketplace

- more in favour than against but support is weaker than for the other

functions



Marketplace tier with MAEOS

• Common identity:

•promote the European industry, single web-site, brand development,

•Services / products Comparison.

• Policy and Governance:

•Open standards for selling data and services,

•Certification scheme promoting quality of services

•Compliance, code of conduct, best practices etc.

• Market Support:

•Business Intelligence on markets and bid opportunities

•Partnership building with other sectors and industries

•Business development : creating new opportunities.

What will MAEOS provide?


Marketplace tier with EOMall


In addition to MAEOS, EOMall will provide:

• Marketplace:

• Operation of a common selling platform

• Gather and share market intelligence (anonymously)

• Common front end (proxy) but back-end with each individual company

• Common identity:

•New legal entity = company (or co-operative) with equal membership of

MAEOS

• Policy & Governance:

•rules of the co-operation.

What will EOMall provide?


Three levels of participation / co-operation

1. Close co-operation within new legal entity ie EOMall

• shared resources: market information, front-end / back-end, etc

2. Co-operation through MAEOS

• Common identity, business development within shared policy &

governance

3. Member of EARSC as today

• Information flow, sector promotion plus lobbying

MAEOS


Continue study into organisational structure by

1. study what legal constraints and what legal conditions would be appropriate

2. look at the business strategy to sustain the MAEOS & EOMall

3. Examine what possible public-private arrangements could be envisaged

4. Present possible package to industry for decision in January.

There are many actors and many views from both public and private

organisations; some form of collaborative instrument is necessary to align

positions and actions.
