Key Goals of the Round Table

Define PPP Frameworks

Establish foundational principles and operational scope, focusing on public service delivery, risk-sharing, and mutual benefits.

Identify Core Areas for PPP Implementation

Target key infrastructure areas like Earth observation, terrestrial positioning systems, and geospatial data services and platforms.

Develop Innovative Business Models

Explore models that balance profitability with public service delivery.

Enhance Private Sector Involvement

Identify barriers and enablers for effective private sector engagement in sustainable geospatial partnerships.

Address Governance and Risk Management

Establish governance structures that ensure transparency, accountability, and alignment with public priorities.

Scope of Public Private Partnerships

The roundtable will explore the scope and business models of PPPs in three core domains:

Earth Observation Constellations

Collaborate to enhance coverage and data quality for environmental and strategic monitoring.

Positioning Infrastructure

Establish positioning infrastructure to improve positioning accuracy essential for navigation, disaster management, and public safety.

Geospatial Data and Platforms

Build platforms that support accessible, interoperable, and high-quality geospatial data for government and commercial use.

Guiding Principles

  • Purpose-Driven Partnerships: Ensure PPPs are oriented towards delivering measurable public benefits.
  • Equity and Shared Responsibility: Establish clear roles for public and private entities, with equitable investment and risk-sharing.
  • Revenue Models that Sustain Public Services: Structure revenue generation to ensure private sector profitability while contributing to social good.
