›SpaceCrossroads: Copernicus data for your start-up

Date and time: Thursday, January 13, 2022 4:00 pm CET (GMT+1)

The Space Crossroads is a series of online broadcasts where we discuss how space is inspiring entrepreneurs and start-ups, enabling new ideas to scale up. The series features contributions from industry leaders, experts, investors and big players, who will share their space experience. The format also allows for Q&As and networking opportunities.

In this episode we will talk with Grega Milcinski from Sinergise. Born in 1980 in Slovenia, he studied Physics and co-founded Cosylab inc. at age 21, a company developing control systems for particle accelerators and large experiments in physics. In 2008 Grega moved to become CEO and co-founder of Sinergise, specialising in software for advanced geospatial applications, helping Europe to efficiently manage and control agriculture policy and introducing land administration systems to developing countries in Africa.

With his colleagues they have recognised the potential of open Copernicus earth observation data early but soon hit a wall trying to use existing technologies to work with these large datasets. Deciding to do something about it, Sentinel Hub was born. A Copernicus Masters award winning service for processing and distribution of satellite data is exploiting cloud infrastructure to provide seamless access to more than 15 petabytes of data data to over 80.000 registered users, mostly web developers creating applications on top of remote sensing data.

After working with governmental clients in Balkan, Western Europe, Asia and Africa, Grega is now engulfed in building a global Internet business, which is nowadays processing more than a quarter of billion requests per month.
