Research & Innovation

EOMAP is rooted in research. However, we have always managed to translate research into business innovation. Whenever we partner in R&I projects, our goal remains the same: To upgrade space-based research into down-to-earth solutions.

Let’s talk

R&I topics we engage in

As a spin-off from the German Aerospace Centre, we strive to bring the best out of Earth Observation. Innovation projects and strategic partnerships fuel our solution-driven approach and keep inspiring our team.

Coastal Resilience

Coastal resilience is crucial in times of climate change. We keep innovating to strengthen data-driven approaches.

Blue Economy

This field comprises R&I activities in renewable energy, tourism, aquaculture and fisheries, or blue carbon.

Inland Water Management

Innovations fostering sustainable water use are highly relevant for rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

Key partners for Research & Innovation

Committed to European and global sustainability goals, we feel convinced that R&I projects can boost innovation in this field. As team players, we enjoy putting our Earth Observation expertise on the table and learning from experts in other domains.

European Space Agency (ESA)

ESA believed in our work from the very start. ESA’s programmes not only target key markets of our interest. They also offer widespread opportunities to develop downstream technology and refine our analytics.

EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA)

Fostering innovation and collaboration, the central mission of EUSPA is to “link space to user needs”. We therefore enjoy leading or partnering in market-oriented projects, as well as being featured in EUSPA’s excellent market reports. Moreover, we were delighted to receive the CASSINI Maritime Prize in 2022.

The European Commission

With Horizon Europe, the European Commission gives strong support to innovative solutions. So far, we have led and partnered in 20+ EU projects, strengthening European cohesion and the Green Deal.

European Research Institutions

We love to collaborate with renowned research institutes, such as Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), or the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) – just to name a few.

Worldwide industry partners

Be it in renewable energy, hydrography, or tourism – when it comes to market-readiness, we count on best-in-class industry partners. They ensure that we develop solutions precisely in line with market needs. As a member of EARSC – the European Association of Remote Sensing Companies – we collaborate with the EU space community.

Why partner with EOMAP in R&I projects?

Experience

Since 2006, we have been leading and partnering in 30+ international R&I projects.

Expertise

A team of skilled project managers take the lead or engage in R&I projects. Each team member holds a senior academic degree or a PhD.

Market

Research is fundamental to us. However, it is the market understanding that makes us stand out. And the fact that we are solution-driven.

Network

Our network includes trusted partners in governments, NGOs, research and industry worldwide. For each project, we reach out to new partners to set up a “dream team”.

Excellence

Our team and innovations hold international R&I awards, such as Copernicus Masters, ESA’s Tech Frontier Award, the Cassini Prize, or the Bavarian Innovation Award.
