Geospatial Commission: Pilot Schemes
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what plans he has for future (a) funding of and (b) data sharing by the Earth observation data hub.
Answered by Chris Bryant
The Earth Observation (EO) data hub project is a pathfinder project which will assess whether a new infrastructure for EO data could deliver better access to and exploitation of EO data by federating EO data assets from public and commercial centres in a quality-assured environment and by creating a platform for analysis and value add.
The project was funded through the Earth observation investment package until 31st March 2025.
Decisions on any longer-term funding for EO data infrastructure will be made in due course.
