A Sustainable Future Vision

The world is facing critical challenges relating to population growth, urbanisation and the requirement for healthy sustainable cities. In the East Midlands, a number of companies are addressing these challenges with innovative use of satellite data for their products and services. From urban monitoring to agri-tech solutions and decarbonizing future energy – satellite enabled products and services play a key role in achieving sustainable economic development. As a result of an EMBRACE workshop on Urban Sustainability, held in November 2016, we have put together a collection of Earth Observation applications from the East Midlands:

• Climate predictions for farmers, Weather Logistics Ltd
• Air Quality in cities, EarthSense Systems Ltd
• Forest Sentinel, University of Leicester
• Space-enabled Data for Healthcare, University of Leicester
• Oil and Gas Sustainability, Geomatic Ventures Ltd
• Decarbonising future energy, Land Quality Management Ltd
• Urban Ecosystem and Earth Observation, ICGC
• Analysing Green Spaces, Sterling GEO

We look forward to helping new and existing partners create solutions to tomorrow’s global challenges.
