Geospatial Innovation Competition 2025
CloudFerro Cloud Innovation Competition for best geospatial apps
We invite all users of geospatial data to participate in a competition that aims to recognize best solutions and apps that provide value based on consolidation, processing and dissemination of spatial data using CloudFerro Cloud and CREODIAS platform services, tools and data.
The purpose of the competition
The goal of the competition is to foster an ecosystem of spatial data producers, adopters and end users on CloudFerro Cloud.
The Ideal Project
The ideal project is a solution that combines multiple collections of geospatial data, runs on environments hosted by CloudFerro Cloud and uses CloudFerro AI tools to build user-facing interfaces. It clearly outlines what areas it will impact and how and what value it will bring in that area. It identifies and addresses needs of a selected user group (there is no preference towards end user profiles, industry, research and academia, wider society are equally welcome). Applicants should have proven track record of practical or scientific activities.
How to apply?
All proposals should be submitted via email to cloud-competition@cloudferro.com , as PDFs. Applications must be submitted by the closing time and date published in the Competition webpage.
