We are pleased to invite you to attend a webinar „Introduction to CREODIAS 2.0 - the first commercial element of the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem". From the webinar you will learn how to use the new CREODIAS capabilities that make the platform a unique environment for creating and scaling commercial services using Copernicus data.

CREODIAS provides commercial services for Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, offered by a Consortium consisting of T-Systems as a leader, CloudFerro, Sinergise, VITO, DLR, ACRI-ST, and RHEA.  The platform provides immediate access to the Copernicus Sentinel satellites data and Services, Envisat and ESA/Landsat data and other EODATA.

Its design allows Third Party Users to prototype and build their own value-added services and products. A set of pertinent tools guarantees simplicity, scalability and repeatability of any services’ value chain. CREODIAS offers integrated public cloud services for data processing and serverless processing.

During the webinar, we will present the new version of the CREODIAS platform that offers even more capacity and scalability for users' projects, free services and tools based on EO Data, and commercial services.
