Bringing together 80 participants from over 10 countries, the GEOCRADLE Workshop which took place on 1415 July 2016 inNovisad, Serbia, focused on actionable insights from the leaders in EOpowered services. The event brought together key players from public sector, academia andinnovative SMEs to consider challenges, opportunities, and new approaches inEarth Observation on a regional scale. The first day of the workshop "Accelerating EOpowered businesses andmarket takeup" explored regional success stories as well as areas forimprovement of EObased services in the Balkans. It provided variousorganizations along the EO value chain with firsthand insights into existingregional capacities and enduser needs, and the opportunity to discuss futurepossibilities. One of the workshop aims was to introduce the potential of EO tothe startup and SME ecosystem. The GEO CRADLE Novi Sad Workshopoffered participants a unique opportunity to take part in diverse sessionsimportant for regional stakeholders, including current best practices and EUfinancing options.
The second day was an internal session for the GEO CRADLE Consortium.International experts and project partners shared their experience anddiscussed opportunities for strengthening cooperation at regional and Europeanlevel. The event allowed for networking between various key EO players fromdifferent Balkan countries. The focus was to discuss the output ofWP2 “Inventory of capacities and user needs” in order to be utilisised asthe input for WP3 "Gap Analysis, indicators and priorities". A first,however concrete, picture of current EOstatus of capacities for each countrypartner is the result of the activities undertaken and proccededduring WP2. GEOCRADLE Survey was the key tool for the collection ofinformation about the EOcapacities (Spaceborne, Insitu and Modelling) of theRoI, i.e. Balkans, North Africa and Middle East. Past projects, eg.BalkanGEONet, and thourough desk research was also sources of valuableinformation. Furthermore, a thorough user need analysis has been conductedthrough the GEOCRADLE Survey, enduser interviews, desk research and thededicated user workshop of NoviSad Workshop (Day 1, Part 1). Theconclusions of WP2 were presented in order to move on from the collection ofnecessary information for the construction of the inventories to the gap analysisand maturity level identification for each countrypartner; which address themain objectives of WP3.
