e-shape
EuroGEO Showcases: Applications Powered by Europe
e-shape is a unique initiative that brings together decades of public investment in Earth Observation and in cloud capabilities into services for the decision-makers, the citizens, the industry and the researchers.
It allows Europe to position itself as global force in Earth observation through leveraging Copernicus, making use of existing European capacities and improving user uptake of the data from GEO assets.
EuroGEO, as Europe's contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), aims at bringing together Earth Observation resources in Europe.
27 pilot applications under 7 thematic areas address societal challenges, foster entrepreneurship and support sustainable development, in alignment to the three main priorities of GEO (SDGs, Paris Agreement and Sendaï Framework).
/ Services
e-shape can bring your application
to the next level
Sustainability Booster
EO-savvy entrepreneurs, developers and researchers seeking to cater to market and user needs will have an opportunity to use the e-shaped developed support services every step of the way, from planning to implementation.
This ready to use toolbox will include:
- Innovation and IPR Office
- Market Trends Observatory
- EO Maturity Indicators
- Capital Landscape Navigator
- Technology and policy watch
Co-design
Co-design refers to a collective design process involving heterogeneous actors. To support the development of user-centric services in a long-term perspective, an e-shape specific co-design process is specifically developed and implemented to help the pilots to (1) identify what elements need to be designed and with which stakeholders, and (2) carry out the related design activities.
eoMall
Want to reach potential new customers abroad or maybe learn how much EO based products and services available online cost?
This window to the market enables the promotion of products and services benefiting from the EuroGEO ecosystem. In other words, this is the place to explore case studies, identify relevant solutions, select your provider of choice and, make sure you make the most of the European capabilities out there!
eoMALL enables you to easily integrate EO into your daily processes.
eoWiki
EOWiki 2.0 is a modern and dynamically updated environment offering access to knowledge, technology and collaboration opportunities.
The content of the EOWiki 2.0 will be enriched through cross-fertilisation and syndication with ongoing activities run by EARSC (e.g. EOpages), GEO-CRADLE (Networking Platform) and other marketplaces (e.g. Smart-AKIS, KATANA PA marketplace, EIP Water and Smart Cities Marketplaces).
On-boarding
The key element of e-shape is the ability to on-board further pilots during the project. On-boarded pilots will benefit from the experience gained during the project through focused workshops and access to the sustainability booster.
The on-boarded pilots will be considered as new partners to the project.
We support
What Inspires us
Group on Earth Observations (GEO)
GEO is a partnership of more than 100 national governments and in excess of 100 Participating Organizations that envisions a future where decisions and actions for the benefit of humankind are informed by coordinated, comprehensive and sustained Earth observations.
EuroGEO
EuroGEO is the European component of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) with a focus on coordination and scaling-up user-driven applications being developed in Europe.

Copernicus
- Europe's eyes on Earth
- Looking at our planet and its environment
- For the ultimate benefit of all European citizens
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice.
Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement builds upon the Convention and for the first time brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects, with enhanced support to assist developing countries to do so.
Sendai Framework
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (Sendai Framework) is the first major agreement of the post-2015 development agenda, with seven targets and four priorities for action.
