The European Union (EU) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are collaborating to develop state-of-the-art eGovernance solutions and policies, modernizing their public services and connecting people and businesses from both regions.
The LAC Digital and Green Innovation Challenge seeks to identify and support innovative digital and green prototypes or ideas that focus on enhancing climate resilience and adaptation by leveraging Earth Observation (EO) data and services provided by the European Copernicus programme. This call for proposals is implemented by Expertise France as part of the Digital and Green Innovation Action, with activities focused on Chile, Colombia, and Panama.
With high-impact environmental technology proposals, three teams claimed the top spots in the hackathon “Tracing the Source: Satellite Innovation in Identifying Pollutant Sources in the Motagua River Basin,” an initiative organized by Academia Copernicus Guatemala, driven by RedCLARA and the BELLA II project, and supported by the European Union’s Earth observation program Copernicus, Guatemala’s National Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation (SENACYT), and Universidad del Valle de Guatemala.
