What is the socio-economic impact of Galileo?

Users benefit from more reliable and accurate positioning that aids their navigation, especially in cities and built-up areas. Features like the Galileo Search and Rescue Service and integration into the eCall system reduce emergency service response time in the case of distress or accidents.

Galileo's accurate timing also helps make the synchronisation of banking and financial transactions more resilient, as well as those used by the telecommunication and energy distribution networks that power the global economy.

Galileo’s services are also critical in the fight against climate change and are playing a big role in helping Europe achieve such key policy initiatives as the EU Green Deal and Digital Transformation.  

The additional resiliency provided by Galileo enables a range of new applications and services that benefit from increased positioning reliability and further drive economic growth in Europe and beyond.

More can be found in the EUSPA EO and GNSS market report here.

Why does Europe need Galileo?

Space is big business. What’s more, as of 2023, global revenues from GNSS stood at approximately €260 billion. Projections for 2033 signal significant growth, with GNSS expected to reach €580 billion.

With its own GNSS system, Europe is at the forefront of these developments. The European research and development and industrial sectors are able to leverage Galileo’s services  and features not provided by any other GNSS (such as High Accuracy Service or Search and Rescue service`s Return Link) in countless products and services, creating added value for the European economy and improving the lives of European citizens. Open Service Navigation Message Authentication is already available in numerous market-ready prototypes and will soon be enabled in GNSS receivers allowing to make the PVT solution more robust against data-level spoofing attacks.

Moreover, unlike other GNSS, Galileo is a civilian system. This is an important distinction, especially as our dependence on GNSS continues to increase.

Can I use Galileo enabled devices in other regions of the world?

Yes, Galileo’s services are available worldwide with no restrictions on the use of its signal in any place on the planet (unless local governments prohibit access to specific services).

EUSPA works with other countries and GNSS systems to enable and harmonise the Galileo services provision. For instance, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted access to specific signals transmitted by Galileo in all the devices in the U.S.

Can I use Galileo in my car?

Galileo-enabled navigation devices for your car are already available. What’s more, since 2018, all new type approved vehicles sold in Europe are Galileo capable as part of a requirement to comply with the EU’s eCall emergency response system regulation.

Can I use Galileo on my mobile phone?

There were 4.5 billion Galileo-enabled smartphones in use in 2024 and this number is still growing, as the vast majority of new smartphone models usually have Galileo inside.
