This program, spearheaded by the European Commission in collaboration with the ESA, ECMWF, and EUMETSAT, enables the simulation and analysis of natural phenomena and human activity.

Following an initial call, 12 service providers were selected to deliver Advanced Applications and Services (AAS), several of which are already operational.

Among these, CALIFE facilitates access to local environmental data, HARVIC improves agricultural crop monitoring and forecasting, and Hi-Rest LST provides high-resolution thermal analysis.

COMEO optimizes satellite data compression, while DLMS leverages AI to anticipate desert locust infestations.

Other services currently being deployed will cover urban digital twins, water quality, health risks, and infrastructure monitoring.

The overall objective is to bolster decision-making, climate resilience, and sustainable development through the advanced exploitation of space data.

Valérie Dehlinger, Head of Aerospace, Automotive, Chemicals, Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities, Retail, Telco, Media & Technology, and Transport for Atos in France, stated: "We are pleased to support the ESA's efforts to advance the DestinE ecosystem and digital innovation in Earth observation, and to play a key role in the future of DestinE by enhancing its appeal to a wide range of stakeholders across Europe."
