20 Years eomap

OMG – this moment, when we were entering the stage at the Space Night in Seville to receive the Cassini Award! In 2022, the international EUSPA jury had chosen our plastic detection App as no. 1. Thanks once more to the entire “Eyes-on-Plastic”-Team and Happy Birthday, EOMAP!

Unser Kunde, die Landesanstalt für Umwelt Baden-Württemberg, erhält den eGovernment Preis in der Kategorie “Nachhaltigkeit & Digitalisierung” für sein satellitenbasiertes Gewässer-Monitoring. Wir durften dazu beitragen – ein sehr schönes Gefühl!

Congrats to everybody in the team! It was and will be a pleasure to work with you again. Good memories from our collaboration for GDA Water!

What I treasure is how easily the collaboration flows, whether on M&A discussions, a Sargassum mockup on a Friday morning, sharing conference panels, multiple R&D proposals coming back with a full evaluation score, or the social stuff: drinks with the superwomen, cake in the castle, climbing walls together, and the forest walks. To be continued! Congrats and all the best.

What an incredible team you have built. It’s been amazing to work with and learn from you these past two years. I’m always inspired by your experiences and innovation. Here’s to the next 20, fueled by action for mangroves, seagrasses and corals, and excellent schnitzel sandwiches at the Castle. Alpa

Happy Birthday, Thomas, and congratulations to the entire EOMAP team on 20 incredible years! It has been a pleasure to be part of this journey and to work alongside such talented and passionate people. Wishing you continued success and many more milestones ahead!

Our lively Italian dinner during the Hydro 2023 conference in Genoa is a fond memory from my first year at EOMAP! This conference was a great opportunity to get the Coastal Team all together and spread the word about our work.

The German Innovation Award: I will never forget the celebration when our eoapp AQUA was selected to the top 3 in 2025. – Happy Birthday EOMAP!

A cheerful delegation of the EOMAP team came to my PhD defensio. What a day, what a great support! – You can read on our faces what makes our team spirit stand out.

Congratulations on your 20th anniversary! Twenty years and still full of youthful energy — your proactive, ‘can‑do’ spirit and flexibility keep us at Fugro young as well. I’m excited about what our shared future will bring.

We came a long way from ‘unvalidated crap‘ to becoming a true market leader in our field – bringing innovations to the market when no one else thought that they would work. I am very happy to be part of this family for almost half of this way and hope to add many more years.

One of my personal higlights during “only” five years at EOMAP was receiving the EARSC Product Award for “my baby” eoapp AQUA in 2024 on behalf of our great team.

Drone Mapping in Prerow: As a “newbie” drone pilot, I was deeply impressed by the Fugro drone experts’ knowhow and their 1,800+ multispectral images. We ended up with an amazing high-res bathy map and an integrated workflow. Thanks EOMAP for lots of new skills!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of you over the past 4 years! I admire your endless hard work, enthusiasm, and perfect balance between professionalism and fun, while continuously developing new cool stuff. We are lucky to have you as part of the Fugro family and I look forward to many more projects and fun times with you in the future.

A throwback to 2013, we were all so young! I enjoyed these pioneer times, building the team, trying out crazy things and – from the very start – bridging scientific excellence in remote sensing to practical solutions.
