Le Kollektiv – Digital New Space Kollektiv by Prométhée

Le Kollektiv a pour objectif de favoriser la coopération européenne dans le New Space en constituant une équipe numérique forte dans le domaine de l’observation de la Terre. Prométhée a constitué et coordonné pour ce faire un réseau de 10 entreprises européennes, toutes partageant la conviction que l’une des caractéristiques essentielles du New Space est l’hybridation de l’industrie spatiale avec le monde du numérique.

Outre Prométhée, les partenaires sont 5 sociétés françaises :

  • LTU, expert en vision par ordinateur ;
  • IdPlizz, blockchain and smart ID verification company;
  • VisioTerra, scientific consultant in Earth observation;
  • Geo4i, geo-intelligence specialist;
  • Magellium, expert in Earth observation data processing and geo-intelligence;

As well as 3 German women:

  • Ororatech, expert in forest fire detection and monitoring from space;
  • Mundialis, expert in geodata analysis and processing ;
  • Climate&Company, think-tank in sustainable finance;

And 1 Romanian :

  • Nordlogic Software, a company specialized in the development of software solutions.

To date, the 3 main axes of deployment are the following:

  1. Develop and propose innovative and competitive contributions to help achieve the objectives of the European Green Pact and the European Commission’s cooperation and development agendas;
  2. Make significant contributions to the environmental challenges derived from the UN Agenda 2030 and the COP21 Paris Agreement;
  3. Implement attractive and innovative Earth observation-based services that support the planning, implementation and outcome evaluation phases of Great Green Wall projects.

After less than a year of existence, the Kollektiv teams have developed the “SarbiSat” demonstrator – “the shepherd’s satellite” in Fulani – to meet this last ambition and thus work to combat desertification in the Sahel.
