The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA) announced today a collaboration to enhance the integration of European space applications in the financial sector, ultimately benefitting industries such as investment banking and insurance. Leveraging Europe’s strengths in Earth Observation and navigation applications, the Space for Finance initiative aims to improve financial services’ reporting and sustainability efforts through innovative satellite-based solutions. For example, satellites can regularly collect data about the environment and climate, helping companies track how their sites are performing, predict and manage risks, and easily compare results across different locations and businesses.
