Following the success of the first edition of the publication, over the first half of the year we have been working to find fresh examples for an entirely new edition 2012.
As investments in programmes to develop satnav, Earth Observations and satcom capabilities for Europe continue, this publication is a snapshot of the impact of such investments on a grassroots level, in terms of end-user take-up of operational EO-, satnav- and satcom-enabled services.
While by no means an exhaustive review of operational cases, these examples do translate well what works for cities, regions and end-user SMEs in Europe, and will hopefully inspire more of their peers to follow in these footsteps.
