Creating Value for Sweden Through Earth Observation and Collaboration

This conference talk explores how Earth Observation (EO) data creates value for Sweden through innovative collaborations and technologies. Presented by Chiara Ceccobello, Project Manager and Researcher at RISE, and Olof Mogren, Research Director at RISE, the 23-minute presentation showcases how RISE leverages EO data to address societal, environmental, and industrial challenges. Learn about the Swedish Space Data Lab (Rymddatalabbet) initiative and how RISE integrates artificial intelligence, edge computing, and edge learning to optimize EO data utilization. Examine practical applications in climate change adaptation including biodiversity monitoring, smart agriculture, and urban greening initiatives. Discover the collaborative platforms and open calls that foster innovation and drive the development of commercializable solutions from Earth Observation data. The speakers highlight how these efforts position Sweden as a leader in sustainable innovation and the green transition through scalable EO data processing techniques. Chiara brings her background in Physics and Astronomy and experience in space-related AI projects, while Olof contributes his expertise in deep learning research, climate initiatives, and environmental monitoring. Recorded at the 2025 GAIA Conference at Svenska Mässan in Gothenburg, Sweden.
