Problem
Researchers and innovators face challenges in accessing and integrating Earth observation (EO) data with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, hindering the development of solutions for business and societal challenges. The fragmentation of resources and lack of unified platforms limit the efficient utilization of EO data from programs like Copernicus.
Solution
AI4Copernicus is a European project designed to bridge the gap between AI and Earth Observation (EO) data by providing a centralized platform for researchers and innovators. It integrates AI resources with Copernicus data, offering access to training materials, expertise, and large EO datasets. The platform leverages the AI4EU AI-on-demand platform and DIAS platforms like WEkEO and CREODIAS to create a digital environment for users of Copernicus data. AI4Copernicus aims to incentivize the AI4EU and Copernicus communities to develop solutions for real-world business and societal problems through open calls and collaborative projects.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes researchers, innovators, and SMEs interested in leveraging AI and Earth Observation data to address business and societal challenges. The project also targets investors looking for innovative AI-driven SMEs in sectors like agriculture, security, energy, and health.
