NewSpace Africa Conference 2023: Register for GMES & Africa Startups Development Programme

The SD programme will feature 20 local, budding startups in various stages of growth in the EO and geospatial space to showcase their innovations, gain key industry stakeholders’ attention, and develop their ideas into minimum viable products.

 

The GMES and Africa Incubation and Acceleration initiative, a part of the GMES and Africa Phase 2 programme, focused on supporting research and entrepreneurship in the African NewSpace ecosystem, is organising the Startups Development (SD) programme on the sidelines of the NewSpace Africa Conference 2023 in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire from 23rd to 26th April 2023.

Organised in conjunction with Space in Africa, the Startups Development programme is part of the GAIA initiative’s strategies to develop and source indigenous talents and innovations using Earth observation technologies across various African industries. Furthermore, the GAIA initiative aims to create an environment for co-creation and cross-fertilisation among young or early-stage entrepreneurs to form viable startups and enhance capacity and participation in the GMES and Africa phase 2 programme.

Five finalists will receive the opportunity to present their solutions to a panel of expert judges from the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), ESRI, South African National Space Agency (SANSA), GMES and Africa, African Association of Remote Sensing of the Environment (AARSE) and Sahara & Sahel Observatory (OSS).
