At Geospatial World Forum 2025, Carmen M Aguilera, Market Development Officer for Transport, European Union Agency for Space Program, brings a space-first perspective to the evolving geospatial landscape. Representing the EU Space Programme, she explores how services like Galileo, EGNOS, and Copernicus are delivering massive economic and societal value across Europe and beyond.
From autonomous vessels and CO₂-efficient maritime routing, to urban heat mapping, smart city planning, and drone safety assessments, EU space services are foundational to tomorrow’s geospatial applications. She also highlights the estimated €4.6 trillion in cumulative GNSS and EO revenue opportunities in the coming decade, revealing a vast frontier for entrepreneurs, technologists, and policymakers.
