SANSA and DigitalGlobe host the Open Innovation Challenge to increase Earth observation applications in the public and private sphere in South Africa, for improved commercial competitiveness as well as societal benefit.
The competition is looking for novel uses of Earth observations gathered by satellites. It is open to any South African citizen, whether an experienced space entrepreneur or someone who can envision how this data can be used to address food security, water security, environmental sustainability or urban resilience issues.
