Josef Aschbacher on Φ-week

12 November 2018

The availability of today's wealth of satellite data coupled with the latest digital technologies not only offer unprecedented opportunities for monitoring our changing planet, but they also lay a new landscape for innovation and business.

In an interview, ESA's Director of Earth Observation Programmes, Josef Aschbacher, explains how his concept of Φ, pronounced ‘fee', is set to exploit this golden age and how he hopes the Φ-week event, being held on 12–16 November 2018 in Italy, will further launch new ideas.
