‘Wider Economic Benefits from Satellite Earth Observation (EO) in Developing Countries’ was the topic of a recent webinar hosted by Imperative Space and Caribou Space for the ESA Global Development Assistance programme (GDA), under the Monitoring and Evaluation and Impact Assessment (GDA M&E) activity. Whilst the impacts of satellite EO for sustainable development are well documented, the wider economic benefits of EO to developing countries is less understood. A report in November 2022 by Caribou Space and London Economics (initiated as part of the GDA M&E activity) has addressed this gap. The objective of the webinar was to describe the key findings and conclusions from the study.
