AQ-WATCH will develop a supply chain leading to the generation of seven innovative downstream products and services for improving air quality forecasts and attribution. These prototypes will be based on existing space and in situ observations of air quality and tailored to the identified needs of
international users. The project will make it possible for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for the first time to integrate a very large number of datasets associated with earth observations with advanced predictive models. These innovative products and services are aimed at improving public health and
optimizing renewable energy in different regions of the world. The project consortium includes knowledge institutes, applied science organizations and business-oriented partners, and brings together the required expertise to define the optimal functionalities of these products and services and to bring
them to the market. The project will create opportunities for the development and widespread adoption of new environmental technologies. It will also upscale the technical portfolios of SMEs and reinforce their ethical and social responsibilities in support of the world-wide effort to improve air quality.
