We believe in the transformative power of technology to unlock new opportunities across industries. That belief led us to co-found dotSPACE, a public-private partnership bringing together governments, businesses, and knowledge institutes from across Europe. The foundation is headquartered next to ESA ESTEC on the Space Campus in Noordwijk and operates Groundstation.space as its online platform for sharing insights, tools, and opportunities in remote sensing data (space data).

dotSPACE was established to bridge the gap between cutting-edge Earth Observation technologies and real-world applications. By fostering collaboration across sectors, we provide a platform that drives innovation and delivers impactful solutions for diverse industries.

Through dotSPACE and its online outlet Groundstation.space, we have:

• Developed over €30 million in projects spanning industries such as agriculture, energy, water management, and environmental monitoring.
• Enabled collaboration between governments, companies, and academic institutions across Europe.
• Empowered organizations to integrate remote sensing insights into their strategies for smarter, data-driven decision-making.

As a key player on the Space Campus in Noordwijk, dotSPACE thrives at the intersection of technology, business, and sustainability, offering:

• Tailored solutions to address industry-specific challenges using remote sensing data.
• Access to funding opportunities and partnerships via platforms like the Tenderdesk.
• Tools like the Open Atlas, which accelerates the development of Earth Observation algorithms for sustainable applications.

This initiative showcases how public-private collaboration can unlock the potential of remote sensing data to drive business development and address critical global challenges. By combining technology, partnerships, and innovation, we demonstrate how space data can empower industries and create meaningful impact.
