Ariespace srl

Ariespace is an innovative SME, a spin-off from the University of Naples Federico II, which develops solutions based on satellite data, artificial intelligence and WebGIS technologies. Since 2006, we have been applying these technologies to agriculture, water resource management and land management , transforming data into practical tools to support businesses, consortia and public bodies.

Our expertise combines Earth Observation, geospatial data processing, artificial intelligence and biophysical modelling to deliver operational decision-support services. Key applications include crop and vegetation monitoring, evapotranspiration and irrigation water requirements, water accounting, soil moisture and drought monitoring, forestry and environmental assessment.

Our solutions include Irrisat® for satellite-based irrigation advice and water accounting, and MapTime Explorer®, a WebGIS platform for accessing, analysing and visualising geospatial data. We work with irrigation consortia, farmers, public authorities and research organisations, connecting scientific methods with practical user needs.

Ariespace has experience as both a partner and a coordinator in national and European research and innovation projects. We also contribute to the preparation and coordination of proposals under the Horizon programmes, combining scientific and technical expertise with project management and the development of services for operational use.

For Horizon Europe Cluster 6, Ariespace can contribute EO processing chains, biophysical and hydrological modelling, AI-based geospatial analytics, GIS/WebGIS platforms, decision-support tools, and the validation and demonstration of services with end users. We are interested in partnerships on sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture, efficient irrigation and water management, ecosystem monitoring, and the digitalisation of agricultural and water-management services.

We are seeking research organisations, technology providers, public authorities and end users to build complementary consortia for the 2027 calls, with a clear focus on practical demonstrations, service uptake and exploitation of project results.
