e-GEOS

At AI WEEK in Milan, C. Milena A. Lerario, CEO of e-GEOS, part of @LDO_Space, joined Matteo Molteni, Partner Digital Innovation at @PwC_Italia, for a workshop on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in the evolution of the Earth Observation sector and the growing business opportunities enabled by AI-driven geospatial applications. During the session, several e-GEOS services were presented, showcasing how AI algorithms support the development of innovative applications across precision agriculture, deforestation monitoring, maritime surveillance, natural disaster management and sustainable urban development. These use cases highlighted how Artificial Intelligence is now fully integrated into Geoinformation workflows, enabling the processing of a rapidly increasing volume of satellite and multisource data to extract meaningful insights. AI is driving a shift from simple image-based observation to systems that transform data into actionable knowledge, supporting faster and more reliable decision-making across operational contexts. #WeUnlockEarth | #PwCItaly #PwCAdvisory @telespazio | @ASI_spazio | @LDO_Space | @GAF_Munich | @LDO_Fondazione

🛰️ e-GEOS, part of @LDO_Space, has successfully completed the validation of the Automatic Identification System (AIS) aboard the Sentinel-1D satellite of @CopernicusEU. The activity contributed to the satellite’s In-Orbit Commissioning phase following last November’s launch. 🌍 To validate the AIS payload performance, e-GEOS analysed over 60 Sentinel-1D radar images across six key maritime regions worldwide. The analysis leveraged the e-GEOS proprietary SEonSE solution to correlate vessels detected in the images with the AIS data. 📸 In the following image, is reported one of the Sentinel-1D data used for the validation, acquired on 18th January 2026 over the Strait of Gibraltar.

The conference “Space Technology to Protect and Monitor: the Dual COSMO-SkyMed Mission”, jointly organized by the @ItalianAirForce General Staff, Scuola di Aerocooperazione (also known as Italian Joint Air Operations School - Ita-JAOS) and @ASI_spazio as part of the celebrations for the 75th anniversary of the School, highlighted the strategic role of the COSMO-SkyMed satellite constellation in security and environmental monitoring. The event was promoted by e-GEOS, part of @LDO_Space. During the conference, Alessandro Flamini, Head of Defence & Intelligence and COSMO-SkyMed Commercial and Business Development at e-GEOS, joined the round table “Protecting the Territory: Civil Applications of Satellite Data”, presenting the capabilities of the COSMO-SkyMed mission for the protection of the marine environment. Specifically, Alessandro Flamini highlighted how, through systematic, wide-scale monitoring of maritime areas including offshore regions, COSMO-SkyMed ensures operational performances that are unaffected by weather conditions or by the lack of sunlight. Particular attention was dedicated to the e-GEOS solutions for the detection of potential oil spills through advanced data analysis algorithms, as well as to the monitoring of marine protected areas to safeguard fragile ecosystems. #WeUnlockEarth @telespazio | @ASI_spazio | @LDO_Space | @GAF_Munich | @LDO_Fondazione

🌾 In May, 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 2026 takes us to Spain❗ 💧The sustainable management of water resources is among the most pressing challenges facing agriculture. In some areas of southern Spain, water availability can cover only a fraction of agricultural needs, with serious repercussions for one of the country’s most productive regions. Innovative solutions have been experimented in this area, combining precision irrigation, constant monitoring of soil moisture and calibrated crop management. 🔗 Discover Love Planet Earth 2026, the e-GEOS, @telespazio and @medorfoundation calendar that takes us from Space across the agricultural landscapes of the Mediterranean: e-geos.it/en/love-planet… 📸 Doñana National Park, Spain.

Happy #EarthDay2026! Today, we reaffirm our commitment to a future where technological progress and environmental protection are closely aligned. As a global company, we take responsibility for our environmental footprint—safeguarding biodiversity and reducing impacts across the entire value chain. Protecting the planet is at the core of our strategy and guides our long-term commitment. We are advancing a sustainable growth model, working to decouple industrial development from environmental impact by lowering emissions and optimising resource use along the value chain. This approach represents a strategic element and contributes to strengthening the business by enhancing competitiveness and performance, reinforcing supply chain resilience, and ensuring proactive and structured risk management. This commitment is embedded in our #TransitionPlan, with clear and measurable targets. We also go beyond reducing our own footprint. Our technologies actively support the #environmentaltransition through climate monitoring and Earth Observation, wildfire prevention and management, and risk analysis and territory protection.
