HATCH hatches in Tallinn - EUSW2017

European Space Week kicks off properly today in Tallinn, where many former - and future - colleagues and friends are already popping up in the landscape. 

While the economic impact of space continues to grow and underpin many other sectors through provision of time, location, context, imagery, spectral, topographic, change detection and other data types - we are often faced with the challenge of articulating the value proposition to society at large. 

Civil society around the world faces persistent and infuriating challenges that compromise our humanity and the shared reality of fundamentally all being the same, and all sharing a very small, very limited, and very fragile ball of resources in a cosmos that for all practical purposes leaves us alone.

With 4 other companies yesterday and the strong support of the European Commission, we have launched an intensive project to capture and re-articulate the value of space R&D using contemporary big-data, powerful search, machine learning, and communication techniques. This will target the citizen, technologist, policy maker, educator, communicator, engineer, scientist, learner, journalist, manager, and so on. 

Help us shape your journey into this platform by completing surveys that support defining user persona profiles: 

www.spacehatch.eu

The partners include: Blue Dot Solutions (Poland), Waterdog Mobile (Portugal), WITBerry (Latvia), Catena Space (UK), and Eurecat (Spain), and the European Commission.
