Establishment of two regional Copernicus centres in Panama and Chile

The programme will be implemented by the European Space Agency. It will foster private sector and industrial cooperation between the EU and Latin America and the Caribbean, support capacity building and a business incubation centre. The objective is to create digital ecosystems including different actors as policy makers, the private sector and civil society. The centre will play a key role to support governments and local authorities in Latin America and the Caribbean to achieve their respective environmental goals.
