Insurance and Finance

Finance and insurance have a rising interest for spatial technologies. GNSS and Earth Observation play a key – and increasing role – in the (re)insurance and financial sectors. For instance, timing and positioning information provided by Galileo is used in claims assessments and to time-stamp financial transactions. Copernicus data, on the other hand, is used for everything from conducting risk assessments to computing indices, assessing damage and managing claims.
