Join Digital Catapult Northern Ireland, NI Space Office and Blue Inspiration to hear about a series of sector led challenges where the use of space data and application of advanced digital technologies may provide innovative solutions.

Key stakeholders across public bodies have identified potential use cases where space data can be used and innovation can be applied to address challenge areas. The purpose is to present opportunities for SME’s to work alongside government and arm’s length bodies in helping realise the benefits of accessing and utilising space data and innovation from analytics and technologies like AI/ML.

In this information session Digital Catapult will present current challenges from across government where access to space data, data analytics and the application of AI/ML can provide innovative solutions. These challenges will include ways to streamline resource intensive tasks, efficiencies and cost savings, contribute to carbon net zero targets, and use data analytics and AI/ML to innovate on current practice.

Attendees will have:

• The opportunity to connect with public sector challenge owners
