Challenge
The 2026 NEREUS Symposium features a dedicated Business-to-Government (B2G) matchmaking process designed to connect Public Administrations with innovative Service Providers. Local and regional PAs have presented specific, concrete challenges they currently face in their territories.
As a Solution Provider, this is an opportunity to step forward and pitch targeted solutions that leverage Earth Observation (EO) and space data to solve these regional needs.
How the process works and what is required:
- Explore the Challenges: Browse the list of concrete challenges defined by the PAs below.
- Apply by September 15th: Submit your application through our official Call for Solution Providers form, providing preliminary input on your technical solution. All the information on the application process can be found in the Call 4 Solution Providers FORM.
- Pitch Directly to PAs: If selected, you will be invited to participate in scheduled 1-on-1 meetings during the Symposium's interactive B2G session in Bologna.
