Use cases for the new 'Space Race': IoCT meets Space-Tech
Highlighting significant space innovations and translating them into practical use cases that benefit older people's daily lives.
About this event
This webinar aims to identify the most significant space innovations through the involvement of experts in the field. By translating them into practical use cases, it also seeks to explore how older people and their stakeholders can benefit from them in their everyday lives. Consequently, facilitating companies to understand new growth opportunities for their business.
The infrastructural potential of present and future Caring Things enables an unprecedented use and sharing of human-powered data. These are closely linked to the evolution of space technologies, providing more effective and secure location systems or the ability to leverage satellites to enable transmissions via 5G in remote areas.
Use cases are fundamental to support this sector's development and demonstrate its usefulness. They bring to life ways in which the new space race promises to develop a range of innovations in a faster, more effective, more focused way - from which we could all benefit in the nearer, rather than distant, future.
