Next @SGC2022 keynote is Marco Brancati of @telespazio. He's hear to talk about a competition launching during #IAC2022 next week.

someday I will learn to proofread my tweets, but not this day apparently

I feel like @telespazio is one of those major space companies that folks have never heard of. They've been around since the 60s, have been involved in all sorts of space programs, and have one of the more multi-national (multicontinental, really) footprints in the space industry.

They're getting into the #EO informatics industry focusing on the classic verticals (defense, agriculture, emergencies, etc.)

I wonder if we are going to see more and more big, traditional space companies move into this area and how that will impact all the startups.

As part of this Telespazio is providing drone survey services. It's a really good way to do validation of satellite data and tackling highly targeted problems, but it's not something you see many other #EO companies doing.

But back to the competition, #T-TeC (the hashtag is part of the name). This will be the 4th year but the topic areas are the same as always

The big new thing is that, unlike previous years, the winners will work with @Leonardo_live Business Innovation Factory to actually develop the proposal towards implementation.
