Develop IoT solutions with satellite positioning
The uptake of IoT is growing rapidly and immense amounts of data are being generated every day. This system of interconnected devices draws valuable data from our private and professional lives, supplying insights and enabling faster reactions and responses to the ever-changing competitive landscape. Combined with satellite navigation technologies such as Galileo, IoT solutions can bring even more value to industry. Using Galileo allows more reliable and accurate positioning, and its increased availability enables IoT devices to determine their position even in demanding urban environments. Careful thought and extensive investigation into where Galileo can make a positive impact on IoT solutions has resulted in an innovative new programme to support IoT developers and entrepreneurs, Point.IoT.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
die Gesundheit unserer Konferenz-Teilnehmer und Partner ist uns wichtig. Daher wollen auch wir unseren Beitrag leisten, um die rasche Verbreitung des Corona-Virus zu verlangsamen. Vor diesem Hintergrund haben wir uns in enger Abstimmung mit unseren Partnern entschlossen, die Konferenz „Global Navigation meets Geoinformation 2020“ abzusagen. Diese war für den 28. April 2020 am ESOC in Darmstadt geplant.
Zwischenzeitlich hat der Magistrat der Wissenschaftsstadt Darmstadt bereits alle öffentlichen Veranstaltungen der Stadt Darmstadt bis zum 30.04.2020 abgesagt. Insbesondere werden alle Veranstaltungen untersagt, bei denen die Stadt Darmstadt als Veranstalter agiert. Weiterhin untersagt die hessische Landesregierung alle Veranstaltungen ab 100 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern. Darüber hinaus ist derzeit ungewiss, ob das ESOC als Veranstaltungsort verfügbar sein wird.
Da aus diesen Gründen mittlerweile viele Veranstaltungen verschoben werden, aber die weitere Entwicklung was die Ausbreitung des Virus betrifft nicht absehbar erscheint, planen wir derzeit die nächste Ausgabe der Konferenz erst wieder für April 2021. Wir werden diese wie gewohnt rechtzeitig ankündigen und bitten um Verständnis für diese Entscheidung.
Wir bedanken uns an dieser Stelle bei Ihnen für Ihr Interesse und hoffen, Sie für 2021 wieder gewinnen zu können.
Den Auftakt zu den diesjährigen Innovationswettbewerben Galileo und Copernicus Masters planen wir, mittels Online-Angeboten zu begleiten. Der Hackathon ActInSpace wird von den Organisatoren auf voraussichtlich Anfang Oktober verschoben. Wir halten Sie hierüber auf dem Laufenden.
Bleiben Sie gesund!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Dr. Frank Zimmermann
Geschäftsführer
cesah GmbH Centrum für Satellitennavigation Hessen

The start-up Dipteron from the ESA BIC Hessen & Baden-Württemberg can announce a big success: They were selected for the Open Call 1 of the Parsec Accelerator Program and won a cash prize of 10K Euro.
Among 348 applicants from 36 countries 100 applicants were selected in the Open Call 1 – Dipteron reached the very good 24th rank.
In the upcoming phase Dipteron is going to select their partners to build a Consortium for the second Open Call. 15 teams can enter the Open Call 2 and win 100K Euro.
Check out the pitch from the CEO Ana Cristina Galhego Rosa:
About Dipteron
Dipteron is an application for detecting Aedes mosquito risk areas. Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya are viral diseases transmitted by the same mosquito, the Aedes species. In recent years the spread of these diseases has become a worldwide issue for public health. The rapid spread of the Aedes mosquito has affected vast areas which cannot be monitored using terrestrial methods alone.
Early identification of vulnerable areas is crucial to control the advancement of diseases.
Dipteron, referring to ‘insects with a single pair of functional wings’, has developed an application for detecting the risk areas of the Aedes mosquito, deriving environmental and climatic factors from satellite data, especially Earth Observation data.
About the PARSEC accelerator
PARSEC is a business accelerator supporting the creation of new Earth Observation (EO) based products and services. The accelerator targets SMEs, start-ups, entrepreneurs and researchers who want to have an impact on the emerging Food, Energy and Environment sectors. With the support of PARSEC, their ideas will be developed into solutions fuelled by the benefits of EO.
The holistic two-stage acceleration programme will distribute a total of €2.5 Million equity-free funding to 100 beneficiaries, alongside other key resources (coaching, matchmaking, promotion) needed to develop and launch 15 new products and services into the market. PARSEC will also provide a suite of business catalysts for transforming data into market-ready services. The first Open Call for applications was held between 20 September 2019 and 3 January 2020. The second Open Call will be launched in spring 2020.
The PARSEC Accelerator is funded by the “Horizon 2020” Research and Innovation programme of the European Union.
