I'm writing on behalf of the team behind the <a data-auth="NotApplicable" title="https://www.osgeo.org/projects/eoepca/" class="x_OWAAutoLink" id="OWA12a80e5f-f6f0-aed1-4bf4-4ded8dc3f95e" href="https://www.osgeo.org/projects/eoepca/">
OSGeo Community Project – EOEPCA+</a>. Awarded to Telespazio UK by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2023 as part of its Platform Interoperability Building Block Evolution programme, EOEPCA+ is a rapidly evolving system, and today I’d like to give you a brief
insight into what it’s all about.</div>

As satellite Earth Observation (EO) platforms increasingly provide cloud-based data and applications, users gain the ability to process information remotely and at scale; yet the ecosystem remains fragmented. EOEPCA+ addresses this by enhancing interoperability
between platforms, drawing on OGC standards to support applications across Ground Segment, EO Science, R&D, and many others.</div>

The vision is for an open, federated network of EO resources, in turn enabling global access to standardised at-source geospatial workflows. With EOEPCA+, users can package and deploy their workflows as cloud-native apps that move seamlessly between environments,
fostering collaboration and scalability. This is made possible through a set of reusable, interoperable software Building Blocks that adapt to diverse platform needs.</div>
