PARSEC is a business accelerator supporting the creation of new Earth Observation (EO) based products and services. The accelerator targets SMEs, start-ups, entrepreneurs and researchers who want to have an impact on the emerging Food, Energy and Environment sectors. With the support of PARSEC, their ideas will be developed into solutions fuelled by the benefits of EO. The holistic two-stage acceleration programme distributed a total of €2.5 Million equity-free funding to 100 beneficiaries, alongside other key resources (coaching, matchmaking, promotion) needed to develop and launch 15 new products and services into the global market. The first Open Call (Sept 2019–Jan 2020) selected 100 winners (€10,000 each); the second Open Call (March–July 2020) selected 15 winning teams of 2–3 SMEs (€100,000 each). The acceleration programme concluded in October 2021. Funded by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Union.
