Deadline: 11-Jul-22
Applications are now open for the Sustainable Urban Planning Challenge that aims to develop algorithms or methodologies that use remote sensing to quantify critical issues emerging from the expansion of historic centres toward modern suburbs.
UP42 is changing the way geospatial data is accessed and analysed. The platform and marketplace bring together multiple sources of data such as satellite imagery, weather data, and more—along with algorithms to identify objects, detect change, and find patterns. Industry leaders use UP42 to inform business decisions and build scalable customer solutions. Know when and where to fertilise crops. Measure air quality and map emissions. Count cars, trucks, planes, and ships. Developers and data scientists across all industries now have access to a platform to build, run, and scale projects all in one place.
Examples:
- The increasing number of structures that have an impact on non-renewable resources (water, vegetation, land)
- The uneven distribution of green sites
- Wasted spaces to be repurposed as green or residential areas
- They encourage you to consider other use cases that better leverage the most diverse data available on the UP42 platform.
- During the submission phase, you’ll get access to the following:
- Industry-leading geospatial data
- Cloud infrastructure
- Off-the-shelf algorithms
- Winners may become official UP42 partners and get their solutions included in their global marketplace.
Benefits
- OneAtlas Prize: Voucher to access commercial satellite data from Airbus
- UP42 Prize: Voucher to access all types of geospatial data and algorithms from the UP42 marketplace
- EUR 10,000 if your concept gets selected as Copernicus Masters 2022 Overall Winner
Eligibility Criteria
Enterprises, scientific institutions, and individuals of legal adult age are entitled to participate in the Copernicus Masters 2022. Applications will be accepted from anywhere in the world.
