The LEONSEGS project secured significant visibility at the Esri España User Conference 2025 (29–30 October), an event dedicated to promoting collaboration between the Earth Observation (EO) and GIS communities.
Partner Aistech Space represented the project, with Sonia Navarro (Head of Business Development) speaking on an expert panel while Andre Parris (Chief Commercial Officer) attended as a delegate.
The main focus of the panel, Aerospace Sector, New Space, and the Role of Earth Observation and GIS, was the persistent challenge of getting satellite data into the hands of non-technical end-users. The value of data is often lost because it remains confined to technical experts due to non-standard formats and the high level of expertise required for processing.
In this crucial context, Aistech Space highlighted the LEONSEGS project as a pioneering European initiative. The core concept was introduced in discussions with Esri and other participants as a federated marketplace for EO data—best described as “something like an Amazon for satellite imagery.”
The objective of LEONSEGS is to connect multiple data providers and make satellite products genuinely easier to discover, compare, and use. Aistech Space’s active involvement successfully positioned the project as a practical solution designed to bridge the gap between complex EO data and end-user applications, advancing the shared mission to democratise access to geospatial data.
