No CommentsIn the EOCafe, “where the EO Community meet”, our subject for discussion had a more applications driven focus. This time it was dedicated to the use of EO information for the raw materials sector. “Raw materials” includes mining but also other means of extraction and even recycling as a means for production. Although, for the EO community, it could be obvious that EO data/information is useful for mining companies in several of its stages of operations, (from the exploration phase, environmental assessment & permits, to design, operations, mine closure and aftercare), for the mining sector there is still a long way to go for this relationship to succeed.

The European Agenda on AI: state of the art
Artificial Intelligence is one of the most strategic and horizontal instruments for innovation in many industrial activities. The European Union and all the Members States are putting a lot of effort in its standardization as wide range of different types of AI can be distinguished.
This is why AI applications are currently being implemented across a range of European industries, facing different barriers to adoption. The barriers are diverse and can be identified as endogenous on one hand with cultural resistance, lack of clear leadership, lack of knowledge and talent and financial consideration. On the other hand, as exogenous due for example to lack of venture capital funding, lack of data availability. -
