AI Space Innovation - Pioneering Data and Technology Collaboration in Space
An innovative initiative to develop a climate change database for the world
The Challenge
Climate change is continually evolving and affecting our society and environment. Getting access to satellite and climate change data to make decisions is challenging, inaccessible and expensive.
The Approach
A collaboration with the Swedish Space Association, Lund University and the Norbotton Region (Sweden), a team of eight quantum physists and business consultants developed a business case to establish a climate change database for the United Nations using satellite data. It involved identifying the vision and scope of the initiative, understanding the data set and it's limitations, potential user base, identifying case studies and potential physical site locations that enabled resiliency and cooling of infrastructure.
Exploring trusted ways to share data across borders created new opportunities for international collaboration.
The Outcome
Developed a business case for the Global Climate Change Database initiative for the United Nations
Identified a clear vision, primary users and target market, satellite data capabilities and limitations, designed initial platform interfaces and usability to enable utilisations of the database.
Conducted deep dive workshops with project leaders, the Swedish Space Association and physists to sythesise business and technical requirements
Work alongside the main consultant writing the paper to the United Nations on the initiative
The Future
The work has laid the foundation to utilisate satellite data for climate change initiatives. The opportunity ahead is to expand cross-border data sharing, identify resilient data warehouse capaibilties and locations and use this data to unlock innovation in international industries.
