A Consortium United by a Shared “Earth Intelligence for All” Vision
The e-genesis consortium brings together 20 partners from 10 countries, combining expertise in Earth Observation, Earth sciences, AI and GenAI, climate, biodiversity, water, urban and energy resilience, policy, co-design and market uptake.
Working across three interconnected pillars—and supported by cross-cutting technical, policy and communication expertise—the partners transform scientific knowledge and environmental data into operational Earth Intelligence solutions designed for real-world needs.
As part of the wider Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and EuroGEO communities, e-genesis contributes to GEO’s vision of Earth Intelligence for All, embracing EuroGEO’s spirit of Combine, Coordinate and Cooperate to foster collaboration, strengthen knowledge exchange and maximise the societal, environmental and policy impact of Earth Intelligence.
