A consortium of expertise serving urban resilience
The UrbiVerde Pathfinders project is based on a consortium bringing together technological, institutional, and industrial stakeholders to develop innovative services based on Earth Observation.
It brings together CS Group, Murmuration, Cerema and Aerospace Valley to address the ESA Information Factory (IF) Pathfinder for Adaptation challenge in the field of urban resilience.
This partnership relies on a unique combination of technological, environmental and operational expertise to design scalable solutions tailored to the concrete needs of territories and resilient urban systems.
The consortium’s key strengths are summarized below:
CS GROUP
CS GROUP provides strong capabilities in system integration, secure data processing and critical software, ensuring the reliability and scalability of Earth Observation-based services.
Murmuration
Murmuration contributes advanced geospatial intelligence driven by AI and EO data, enabling precise monitoring of the environment and urban areas.
Cerema
Cerema, as a public expert in sustainable urban development and climate adaptation, provides deep operational knowledge, direct access to end-user needs and strong relevance for public policies.
Aerospace Valley
Aerospace Valley leverages its position as a European innovation hub to foster collaboration within the ecosystem, market access and scaling.
The consortium integrates EO data, in-situ urban infrastructure indicators and socio-economic data to produce enriched and actionable insights supporting resilience planning, risk assessment and public policy implementation.
Cerema ensures active involvement of public authorities and urban stakeholders, guaranteeing operational relevance and strong alignment with resilience frameworks at local, national and European levels.
Thanks to Aerospace Valley’s innovation ecosystem and CS GROUP’s industrial solutions, the services are designed to evolve from pilot demonstrations to sustainable operational offerings across France and Europe.
Collaborations at the heart of the UrbiVerde ecosystem
The UrbiVerde project is part of an ecosystem of key partners, combining institutional expertise and cutting-edge technological infrastructures.
These collaborations ensure the reliability of services, their operational deployment and their accessibility at the European scale.
By relying on major stakeholders such as the ESA and the NoR platform, UrbiVerde benefits from a strong environment to develop, test and deploy innovative solutions dedicated to urban resilience.
ESA
The European Space Agency (ESA) is the main partner of the UrbiVerde project, funding the Information Factory Pathfinder for Adaptation program.
This enables the operational launch of the project after the first two years of demonstration.
NoR
The UrbiVerde platform is hosted on the NoR infrastructure, supported by the ESA.
The NoR (Network of Resources) provides non-commercial and commercial users with a unique environment to discover European cloud services and estimate their costs for Earth Observation exploitation.
