GNSS in Asia - support on international Activities

Developing and implementing a concrete and sustainable GNSS strategy in the “hotspot” of downstream industry combined with local insights for market development activities will support the EC and GSA.

The Asian market is very important for every product/service which aims to be successful on the world market. Galileo is no exception. The five Asian economies are of strategic interest for the EU GNSS for the following reasons:

• They comprise a unique region to be served by several GNSS
• They are a manufacturing centre for GNSS downstream equipment
• They are home to chipsets serving mass markets in GNSS
• They represent markets with high GNSS affinity and enormous growth rates.

Objectives

1. Define industrial cooperation strategy on GNSS applications and receivers, between EU and China, India, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
2. Support concrete collaboration opportunities between European and Asian companies.
3. Raise awareness of Galileo and EGNOS.
4. Ensure valorisation of Galileo with focus on receivers/chipsets and applications.

Activities are carried out by key European and Asian organisations with long-standing experience in fostering EU-Asian industrial cooperation. They assess market areas of mutual interest, get a GNSS industrial overview and support industrial cooperation between EU and Asian companies. Activities include expert workshops and industry seminars with matchmaking sessions (both in Asia and in the EU), as well as Galileo awareness raising aimed at the local GNSS communities and the broader public.

Next Steps

• Wider outreach to European GNSS downstream industry
• Further development of EU-Asia industrial GNSS strategy
• Support concrete collaboration cases between EU and Asian companies.
