Facilitating EU-Asia cooperation on satellite navigation applications

The GNSS.asia project, financed under the EU 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, has the objective to develop and implement GNSS industrial cooperation activities between the European Union and China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea and Taiwan focusing on the downstream sector (applications and receivers).

Activities will be carried out by key European and Asian organizations having long-standing experiences in fostering EU-Asian industrial cooperation. They will assess market areas of mutual interest, get a GNSS industrial overview and support industrial cooperation between EU and Asian organisations. Activities will include in particular experts’ workshops and industry seminars (both in Asian countries and in the EU) and Galileo awareness raising towards the local GNSS communities as well as the broader public.
