The UK Space Agency’s Commercial Climate Services Call invites applications for funding of innovative climate services that can help open new markets and strengthen the UK’s EO climate services sector. We are looking for forward-thinking ideas that use satellite-based EO data to create services focused on topics relevant to making decisions in a changing climate – be that for water resources, human health, agriculture, urban heat, wildfires or anything relevant to climate mitigation, adaptation, or resilience. Our focus is on innovation – whether you’re developing a brand-new service, enhancing an existing service to meet climate challenges, or reaching a new type of customer. We are seeking proposals that have a well-defined route to market.

How to apply

Apply through the UK Space Agency's Commercial Climate Services Call. Submit a proposal that clearly outlines your route to market and how you will use satellite data. The source does not detail further steps, so check the UK Space Agency website for full application guidance.
