The ESA-BA Artificial Intelligence Kickstarter Campaign
ESA-BA are currently looking for new applications and services that combine one of these space enabled technologies with artificial intelligence for their AI Kickstarter.
They are looking for sustainable products and services within the areas of consumer goods and industrial services, social impact, infrastructure and the environment and natural resources.
Companies wishing to apply will need to complete an online questionnaire, followed by a written proposal. Any businesses operating from outside Ireland, Norway, Germany and the UK may need a letter of approval from their national delegation to apply, so make sure you check first.
Who is ESA?
The European Space Agency (ESA) is an international organisation, delivering European space programmes for educational benefit. ESA is dedicated to bolstering investment in space research and satellite technologies and services.
ESA-BA offer funding, project management support and access to their network to any business striving to make use of space enabled technologies for new commercial services.
Space data encompasses all of the technologies that use satellite data. This includes satellite navigation, communication and Earth Observation. Let’s take a closer look;
Earth Observation (EO)
Imagery obtained from Earth Observation satellites can provide data on everything from weather patterns to urban traffic. For example, satellites detecting unusual weather patterns can help to provide predictions and a detailed picture of large-scale environmental issues for conservation planning.
Satellite Communications (Satcom)
In addition to imagery, satellites can help communicate large amounts of data between remote locations. This includes Internet of Things (IoT) technologies which connect machines through networks of sensors. This type of technology can be used to monitor equipment in manufacturing and improve maintenance operations.
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
The benefit of GNNS is that it can provide precise location tracking of goods and people. This is particularly useful for the logistics industry and for route optimization used in AI applications.
Virtual and Augmented Reality
Although not technically a space-enabled technology, satcom-supported VR and AR can complement AI applications. For example, allowing humans to perform tasks remotely through VR/AR goggles.

Manufacturing centres are adopting AI technologies to improve efficiency and safety by automating dangerous tasks.
Electric Utilities
Analysis of satellite data can help predict weather patterns, helping to match renewable energy supply with demand. The forecast of congestion, network losses, and the possible need for reserve power can all be improved by AI.

The AI Revolution and the Impact of Space Technologies
Artificial Intelligence is becoming more prevalent in all areas of modern life. From manufacturing to healthcare, intelligent machines are streamlining processes, improving efficiency and lowering costs for businesses in the long term. But what has space technology got to do with AI? And how are these new technologies transforming wide-ranging sectors for the better? Here, we explore the sectors benefiting from these new technologies and discuss how the implementation of space enabled technologies could transform AI.
