Zadania projektu Stworzenie mechanizmu dla efektywnego wypracowania wizji rozwoju sektora obserwacji Ziemi w Polsce wspólnie przez administrację, przemysł i naukę. Przygotowanie studium obejmującego ocenę perspektyw rozwoju obserwacji Ziemi w Polsce i propozycje kierunków rozwoju tego sektora Zidentyfikowanie konkretnych propozycji udziału polskich podmiotów w programach ESA dotyczących obserwacji Ziemi. Projekt to także eksperyment w zakresie poszukiwania najbardziej efektywnych metod dialogu administracji, przemysłu i nauki w celu planowania rozwoju danego sektora 3
Logika przebiegu prac Ocena stanu obecnego. Gdzie jesteśmy? Propozycje konkretnych działań w ramach programów ESA. Jakimi działaniami chcemy włączyć się w programy EO ESA? Jakie konkretne projekty mogą zostać zainicjowane? Bariery infrastrukturalne dla rozwoju (ground segment). Jakie będą rzeczywiste wymagania dostępu do danych w najbliższych latach? Jak zapewnić efektywny dostęp do danych EO? Wskazanie możliwych i obiecujących kierunków rozwoju. Propozycja mapy drogowej rozwoju sektora EO w horyzoncie 5-10 lat. Co powinniśmy rozwijać? Jakie informacje będziemy mogli oferować za 5 lat? A za 10 lat? Zebranie powyższych zagadnień w alternatywne scenariusze rozwoju. Jakie konkretne opcje mogą zostać wybrane na szczeblu politycznym? 4
SEED EO - Support to Enhanced EO Activity in Priority States State of the EO sector in Poland 101 entities in Poland have EO-related skills and offer in their portfolio. For majority of them EO is not a core activity. Polish EO industry grew by 8,3% in the period 2010-2014, whereas European EO industry grew by 8,7%. Polish EO industry is focused on downstream segment in the value chain. The Polish EO sector is focused on realization of R&D projects. In the views expressed by the EO community insufficient market demand is generated by the public sector. The international (European) market is also not addressed proportionally to the potential available. 5

SEED EO - Support to Enhanced EO Activity in Priority States Observations on key challenges and obstacles for growth From the EO community perspective the potential of using EO products and services by the public sector is significantly underexploited. Consequently the market demand generated by the public sector is insufficient. The potential synergy of capabilities of the Polish EO entities is not exploited. Competencies of the Polish EO sector are widely dispersed. There is a need to identify thematic niches within European and international market and focus development of EO capabilities. Availability of Copernicus data represent an opportunity for the development of the monitoring products for a variety of specific applications. To realise that opportunity there is a need to ensure a stable and effective access to Copernicus data (as a minimum the current and archive data for the territory of Poland). 13
SEED EO - Support to Enhanced EO Activity in Priority States Observations on key challenges and obstacles for growth Limited international presence of Polish EO entities is hindering their competitiveness. There is a clear need for a more active participation in international projects, networking activities and international organisations. Undefined medium- and long-term market perspective and lack of the longterm public strategy results in insufficient knowledge among companies to justify investments in personnel and infrastructure. The public-funded projects do not have a clear commercialization path. 14
