Join us for the 2nd instalment of IoT4EO Workshops, a forward-looking assembly set to convene at ESA-ESTEC in Newton 2 on 2-3 December 2024. The workshop will have a similar format (2 half-days, a social event in the evening, and a hybrid "in-person/online" format) as the 1st instalment in February 2023.
This workshop is a collaborative effort between the European Space Agency (ESA) and other Space Agencies via IOAG, alongside significant industrial contributions from Airbus Defence & Space and OHB System. Its aim is to showcase the results and create a forum for consolidating a standardisation roadmap that was identified through ESA System Studies for integrating LPWAN/IoT technologies with Earth Observation (EO) satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), focusing on low power and low-data-rate connectivity
The key objectives of the workshop are:
- To showcase results that were identified through ESA System Studies for integrating LPWAN/IoT Technologies with Earth Observation (EO) satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for low-data-rate connectivity.
- To discuss the results of the IoT4EO User and Provider surveys and review the feedback ESA received on the IoT4EO Service Definitions and Preliminary Specification.
- To encourage the formation of partnerships, collaborations and multidisciplinary dialogue between space agencies, technology providers, and end-user communities to advance the IoT4EO Ecosystem.
- To present and consolidate the standardization roadmap for interoperability, ensuring seamless global adoption and integration, while also exploring and prioritizing the research and development of prototypes, testbeds, and ultimately IoD/IoV that will drive the next generation of IoT4EO solutions and connectivity to LEO satellites
The European Space Agency (ESA) is actively developing two strategic outputs in preparation for the IoT4EO Workshop #2, with the goals of solidifying our approach, soliciting contributions, and fostering a unified vision and understanding to facilitate forward progress:
- IoT4EO Service Definitions and Preliminary Specification: Participants and stakeholders are encouraged to provide their feedback and contribute insights to this document.
- IoT4EO Surveys: Participants and stakeholders are encouraged to complete surveys aimed at service providers and industry, as well as potential users of the services outlined in the Service Definitions and Preliminary Specification document.
These outputs are expected for public release in September 2024 for review and feedback in preparation for the IoT4EO Workshop #2. The feedback and findings from the surveys will be showcased during the workshop.
Please register your interest below and bookmark the event into your calendars. If you wish to present, please let this be known upon registration alongside a short description. More information closer to the event will be shared with those on the mailing list. We intend to have a detailed Agenda in September 2024.

NOTE: The workshop has been postponed to December 2-3, 2024, due to preparatory activities related to the IoT4EO Service Definitions and Preliminary Specification, IoT4EO Surveys, and the expected time needed for key stakeholders to complete their reviews.
