Earth observation data provided by the European Space Agency (ESA) are an interesting source for innovative products and service offerings. At the ESA App Camp, participants show how they can use HANA Cloud Platform for implementing their ideas using SAPUI5 and HANA’s high performance spatial capabilities.
From February 26 until March 1, six teams, altogether 23 participants from 11 countries, compete in the final of the ESA App Camp in Barcelona which is sponsored by SAP University Alliances.
During the preselection events in January, they convinced already representatives of ESA and SAP with their ideas and plans how to develop geospatial data related solutions on HANA Cloud Platform:
Sustainable fishing, improving renewable energy business or helping farmers at their work are just some of the ideas the teams are currently building HCP applications for.
Six technical experts from SAP (Hinnerk Gildhoff, Dr. Jens Glander, Daniel Knecht, Stephan Lange, Christian Schütz and Sascha Zorn) support the participants with their insights how to use SAP’s technology platform best. They also provided the participants with an example application on how to use HANA spatial functionality for analyzing earth observation data.
Participant Ana Cristina van Oijhuizen: “We are excited to implement our idea on HANA Cloud Platform. Thanks to the SAP team for the great technical support.”
On Sunday the teams will present how their business ideas had become a real running application on HCP. We are looking forward to share these results with you as soon as we have seen them.
