DESCRIPTION:In the era of the “space society”\, satellite services repr
 esent a key element that has to be valued and promoted by institutions at 
 local and global level.  Earth Observation (EO)\, Navigation (NAV) and Tel
 ecommunication (TLC) satellite services represent the space sectors with t
 he most relevant growth\, not only for the level of maturity\, quality and
  quantity of the existing operational infrastructures\, but mostly for the
  potential of wide diffusion for applications and connected services (know
 n as downstream). These applications and services are suitable to ensure a
  sustainable economic development\, fostering a significant progress in se
 veral domains and generating benefits for citizens and society. For this r
 eason\, they have been recognized as top strategic priorities of the Itali
 an space policies (Resolution of the President of the Council\, March 2019
 ).\nConsidering that Italian Space Agency (ASI) is a governmental organiza
 tion having the responsability to promote space technology for the develop
 ment of the Country\, ASI has set up a programme called Innovation for Dow
 nstream Preparation (I4DP) further articulated in three intervention lines
  to better leverage on needs of that communities: Public Institutional ent
 ities\, Science and Commercial operators. The main focus of this initiativ
 e is s to stimulate the downstream sector growth\, offering a concrete sup
 port  to set-up innovative and powefull space solutions for emerging deman
 d and\, at the same time\, consolidating and enriching existing national k
 now how both at scierntific and industrial level.\nThe implementation of t
 he programme is based on thematic periodic calls for each category of targ
 et users\, as mentioned above (PA i.e. Public Administrations\, SCIENCE i.
 e Scientific Community\, MARKET i.e. Economic Operators).\nThe first cycle
  of the programme has been initiated in 2021\, with the issue of 3 calls f
 ocused on the following topics: Effects of climate change and extreme even
 ts (I4DP_PA)\, Sustainable Cities (I4DP_SCIENCE)\, Management and monitori
 ng of Stability of Infrastructures and/or critical infrastructures also in
  relation to landscape conservation and Precision Farming for I4DP_MARKET.
  All the calls were successfully closed in 2022 with the selection of abou
 t 20 innovative projects.\nI4DP_PA aims to promote demonstrations and  pre
 -operational developments of innovative complex services value chains resp
 onding to a well-defined institutional need (e.g. related to activities th
 at the involved PA has to perform by law) in order to prepare new generati
 on downstream services that can be useful to the institutions responsible 
 for territorial governance\, civil protection and economic resources manag
 ement\, while promoting the full exploitation of national and European spa
 ce systems\, operational or under development. The final objective of the 
 I4DP_PA calls is to promote an active involvement of Public Administration
 s\, as end users of the services and\, at the same time\, allow an acceler
 ation of scientific and technological developments\, as well as the experi
 mentation of new (pre-)operational procedures EO-based. This approach allo
 ws to highlight actual operational gaps and so can help the preparation an
 d the support respect to other national and European investments in infras
 tructures to better enable the realization of the services themselves. \nI
 4DP_SCIENCE aims to promote the demonstrative development of innovative va
 lue-added services based on the use of EO\, SATNAV\, SATCOM systems in ord
 er to prepare new generation downstream services and promote the full use 
 of national and European space systems\, operational or under development.
 \nI4DP_MARKET calls aim at supporting the development of innovative projec
 ts with a high starting TRL level\, in order to promote commercial exploit
 ation of services and products based on innovative data processing\, analy
 sis and integration techniques. This initiative is also aimed at guarantee
  a constant increase in the national technological capacity of the downstr
 eam sector\, allowing participation in the selection procedure of SMEs\, s
 tartups and university spin-off. In the long term\, these calls will conso
 lidate the Italian entrepreneurial texture in the exploitation of the serv
 ices and data provided by the current and future satellite infrastructures
 \, in synergy with the terrestrial ones.\n \nThe proposed workshop aims to
  provide a complete picture about the ASI’s ongoing I4DP activities and 
 their future perspectives\, highlighting effects in support of the whole I
 talian communities along the whole space service value chain and of econom
 ic downstream sector\, providing a focus on selected projects in the frame
 work of the first cycle of the I4DP Programme.
