Description
How can Earth Observation Technologies solve challenges in Land Management?
The digitisation of agriculture and forestry is advancing. Crucial in this context is earth observation data obtained by satellites and its intelligent use, especially with regard to the increasing challenges posed by climate change. Early warning systems to prevent crop failure due to drought or pests, yield forecasts, optimization of irrigation and fertilization, or the prevention of forest fires are just a few examples of how modern technologies can improve land management and increase environmental protection.
Both Germany and Scotland are committed to climate goals and have an excellent space sector, which is why we would like to connect stakeholders through a focused digital event.
Goals:
- Introducing Scottish and German companies to stakeholders, potential buyers and partners active in land management (agriculture, forestry) in both countries in order to facilitate new potential collaboration opportunities in trade and R&D
- Deepening ties between Scotland and Germany via increased dialogue and information sharing as to capabilities and solutions in order to resolve current issues
Agenda:
- Presentations about key players in land management, their needs and key challenges, overview about capabilities in space technologies with a focus on applications for agriculture and forestry, as well as R&D and other projects in both countries
- Company pitching sessions
- Networking through 1:1 matchmaking (pre-booked online meetings) on 5. September from 13:00-18:00 CET and on 6. September from 10:00-17:00 CET
Topics:
Key challenges in Land Management and how Space Technologies can help to solve them with a special focus on:
- Climate risks and adaptation (e.g. severe storms, fires, heat waves, flooding, extreme drought, water scarcity)
- Biological risks (e.g. subsequent mass reproduction of bark beetles, new pests)
- Carbon farming, including soil carbon sequestration, reforestation, agroforestry, peatland restoration
- Selected new technologies and approaches from Scotland and Germany
- New opportunities by emerging space and climate technologies
The event will explore emerging climate technologies from satellites, artificial intelligence, and data, mapping to sensors and big data. It will feature leading space, data and agricultural, forestry experts offering latest industry expertise and perspectives.
Who can register?
- Companies based in Germany and Scotland providing solutions to solve problems in land management looking for clients or partners in the German or Scottish market
- Stakeholders from agriculture or forest management looking for new technologies
- Insurances looking for solutions in earth observation helping to monitor and validate insurance cases
- Research organizations and universities interested in collaboration partners for joint R&D projects
- Clusters and associations from both countries
- Investors who want to find qualified Scottish and German companies
