  7. From Satellites to Supermarkets The Economic Benefits The Study shows that the Finnish & Swedish economies benefit from the use of satellite imagery coming from Copernicus; Between €24m and €116m of economic benefit is made each year. Icebreakers use imagery to find the best routes through the ice Ships save fuel and time €2.3m pa Ports are able to operate more efficiently €2.1-€3.3m pa Factories are able to operate all year round €5.8-€9.4m pa Citizens can be sure that the supermarkets (and petrol stations and pharmacies) are stocked. €6.3-€63m pa €3.5-€17.5m pa EAFIP Paris, 27th October 2015

  11. EAFIP Paris, 27th October 2015 Concept of a European Marketplace Build a European Platform for EO Services around which to organise a coherent and efficient offer to a global market. Platform needs 2 elements: An infrastructure / platform to give access to data and users access to products (EO Innovation Europe is one element) An organisation / Marketplace to ensure that users needs are met. EARSC propose to create a Marketplace Alliance for EO Services. PPI provides the ideal way to reflect public demand and establish the basis to provide access to a global market Overall, provide a European alternative to the US IT giants built on European values providing access to data and information
