Is there any way of reducing the environmental impact of maritime and air transport through the use of space data and tools?
Maritime travel is still by far the most widely used mode of transportation for freight and merchandise across Earth's oceans and seas. It's also one of the biggest causes of human-induced pollution. Also, it is estimated that more than 10 000 flights are roaming the skies at any time during the day, most of those flights follow what we call Air Corridors almost like roads. Is it possible to use Space data and Earth observation satellites to calculate ideal routes in real-time?
The objective of this event is to foster the emergence of new ideas and the creation of start-ups. To win the competition, the teams will have to deliver in 24 hours innovative solutions with high growth potential, using satellite data to fight climate changes.
