11. Concept of a European Marketplace Build a European Platform for EO Services around which to organise a coherent and efficient offer to a global market. Platform needs 2 elements: 1.An infrastructure / platform to give access to data and users access to products (EO Innovation Europe is one element) 2.An organisation / Marketplace to ensure that users needs are met. EARSC propose to create a Marketplace Alliance for EO Services. PPI provides the ideal way to reflect public demand and establish the basis to provide access to a global market Overall, provide a European alternative to the US IT giants built on European values providing access to data and information EAFIP Paris, 27 th October 2015
