Azorean Strategy for Space Projects: Innovation and Growth through Satellite Solutions
The Azorean Strategy for Space Projects focuses on leveraging satellite solutions to drive innovation and growth in regional development. This initiative, part of the SPACE4REGIONS networking session held on May 12-13, 2014, at the EUGENIDES Foundation in Athens, Greece, showcases how Earth observation and advanced technological infrastructure can promote knowledge, and support climate change initiatives. With a population of approximately 250,000 across the Azores islands, this strategy emphasizes the importance of high-resolution data from Copernicus for local authorities, improving digital transformation and technology transfer.
