Big Data from Space 2025 (BiDS25), held from 29 September to 3 October 2025 in Riga, is a biennial event co-organised by the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Commission, and the EU Satellite Centre (SatCen). It brings together experts from academia, industry, and public institutions to explore how large-scale space data and technologies—such as AI and cloud computing—can address global challenges in science, sustainability, and security.

The programme includes satellite workshops (29–30 September), plenary sessions, and a code sprint (1–3 October), providing a platform for innovation, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.

BiDS25 aims to showcase the societal impact of Big Data from Space, highlight emerging technologies, promote open science and interoperability, and explore future directions in digital infrastructure and responsible AI.

Themes include policy transformation, climate and security challenges, data innovation across space domains, digital governance, cloud-native infrastructures, and disruptive technologies.

More on DestinE’s engagement in this event will be published soon on the below link.
