Asked by:
George Freeman (Conservative)

Answer

The Earth Observation (EO) data hub project is a pathfinder project which will assess whether a new infrastructure for EO data could deliver better access to and exploitation of EO data by federating EO data assets from public and commercial centres in a quality-assured environment and by creating a platform for analysis and value add.

The project was funded through the Earth observation investment package until 31st March 2025.

Decisions on any longer-term funding for EO data infrastructure will be made in due course.
