ConnectEO - Connecting European Earth Observation to International Markets
ConnectEO is a 24-month COSME-funded initiative coordinated by EARSC to help European Earth Observation companies expand into Australian and Chilean markets through market preparation, trade missions, and on-ground business development.
ConnectEO is a consortium project funded under the COSME Cluster Go International action, running from September 2020 for 24 months, coordinated by the European Association of Remote Sensing Companies (EARSC) with participation from Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique (France) and Corporacion Tecnologica de Andalucia (Spain). The project implements market entry strategies in Australia and Chile for European maritime and agriculture Earth Observation services, based on assessments conducted in the preceding IDEEO project. ConnectEO's approach includes establishing a back office for company preparation, organizing trade missions to facilitate partnerships, and developing a front office pilot with physical presence in Australia for direct market engagement.
