Is GMES an opportunity for the service industry?

Critical Software participated on the last EARSC workshop which aim to debate environmental issues and produce a roadmap to make GMES an opportunity for the service industry. Critical Software’s Business Development Director for ASD, Nuno Almeida, was one of the spokespersons to give his insights on opportunities and threats.

Nuno’s presentation concerned SAFER (Services and Applications For Emergency Response), a Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), 3 years project coordinated by InfoTerra, involving 54 partners from 16 countries, where Critical is playing a key role. The SAFER project focuses on core service upgrade and validation. The first priority is the response when crisis occurs and the second, to have an extension to core service components before and after the crisis.
