Earth Observation (EO) is the process of gathering information about the Earth’s physical, chemical, and biological systems using remote sensing technologies, such as satellites, airplanes, and drones. The data collected includes images and measurements of various environmental parameters such as temperature, precipitation, vegetation, land use, and land cover, among others.  

This data provides critical information for decision-making in a range of industries. EO can:  

• Provide valuable insights for the energy sector, such as monitoring the condition of infrastructure 
• Be an important tool in risk management to develop emergency response plans and protect public safety. Resources can be managed more efficiently. 
• Enable infrastructure companies to monitor and assess the condition and performance of their assets, such as railways and airports. 
• Help farmers monitor crop growth, identify areas of stress, and optimize irrigation and fertilizer use.  

Earth Observation provides valuable information for decision-making and drives business by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and creating new opportunities for innovation and growth.
