Geo Work Programme Ssession – 2-4th Geneva, May 2016 Develop engagement with private sector Create a recognised channel of communication between industry and GEO secretariat and stakeholders. Bring private sector resources to support GEO objectives Promote the benefits/capabilities of EO services to GEO stakeholders Establish a GEO-Private Sector Forum to provide for exchange on a regular basis, and assist GEO in planning its activities with input from the private sector Regional industry meetings Regional industry representatives to meet with GEO during the plenary. EARSC could represent the European industry 14

Geo Work Programme Ssession – 2-4th Geneva, May 2016 Economic Value of Copernicus 16 Satellite benefiting the citizens (study on behalf of ESA)

Geo Work Programme Ssession – 2-4th Geneva, May The case of Finland Winter Navigation “Finland is an island!” : over 90% of Finnish imports and exports travel by sea. Decision in 1971 that all major Finnish ports (25) should be kept open through the winter In 2003, decision to use Satellite imagery to replace helicopters on board ice-breakers Whilst helicopters provide an instant view; conditions change under bad weather conditions when they may not be able to fly Satellite imagery provides a synoptic view of the whole of the Baltic which allows icebreaker captains to plot a route right through the ice fields

Geo Work Programme Ssession – 2-4th Geneva, May From Satellites to Supermarkets The Study shows that the Finnish & Swedish economies benefit from the use of satellite imagery coming from Copernicus; Between €24m and €116m of economic benefit is made each year. The Economic Benefits €2.1-€3.3m pa €2.3m pa Icebreakers use imagery to find the best routes through the ice Ships save fuel and time Factories are able to operate all year round Citizens can be sure that the supermarkets (and petrol stations and pharmacies) are stocked. €6.3-€63m pa €5.8-€9.4m pa Ports are able to operate more efficiently €3.5-€17.5m pa

Geo Work Programme Ssession – 2-4th Geneva, May 2016 We welcome the workplan that can enable the private sector to work with GEO to promote the uptake of services into the public sector contributing to meeting the societal benefit goals. 19 Satellite benefiting the citizens
