Think you have what it takes to solve some of today\u2019s most pressing issues using EU Space? If your answer is an unequivocal \u2018challenge accepted\u2019, then the CASSINI Challenges<\/a> are open for your prototypes and\/or products.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CASSINI Challenges aim to support the development of innovative commercial solutions \u2013 such as mobile apps or hardware-based solutions \u2013 that leverage EU Space data from Galileo<\/a> and\/or Copernicus<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prototypes and products wanted<\/h3>\n

If the Idea Track is now closed with more than 100 proposals received, we are now looking for prototypes and products.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can submit till 9 February your prototype under the “Submission of a Prototype” track. The application should showcase a tested solution in a relevant environment, detailing its typical use case, addressing customer needs, and highlighting the value proposition. The targeted Technology Readiness Level (TRL) for applications in this track is TRL4-TRL7.<\/p>\n

For the Product Track, submission is expected on 19 April. More details can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still EUR 800 thousand in prize money on the table!<\/p>\n

Choose your challenge!<\/h3>\n

One of the three thematic challenges have to be addressed when proposing your prototype or your product:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next Generation Challenge<\/strong>: applicants are asked to leverage Galileo and Copernicus data to craft value adding solutions to improve the well-being, safety, security and connectivity of EU citizens.
\nSustainable Future Challenge<\/strong>: participants are tasked with developing innovative solutions for the conservation of ecosystems, sustainable agriculture and management of energy and resources.
\nEmerging Technologies Challenge<\/strong>: innovators must develop disruptive solutions combining EU Space data with deep technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Quantum technologies (quantum computing, sensing, simulation, encryption, etc.), Blockchain technology and Extended Reality or the Metaverse (Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), Virtual Reality (VR).<\/p>\n

EUSPA\u2019s got your back\u00a0<\/h3>\n

For those ready to accept the challenge, you can find all the information you need \u2013 including the contest timeline, criteria, rules and application process \u2013 here<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
