EO-FIN is one of the ESA best practice series of projects with a focus on the financial management sector. The main aim of the EO-FIN project is to understand the Financial Management sector’s requirements for geospatial information and what the current (including near future), capabilities of Earth Observation (EO) are to support the Financial Management sector’s needs on Geospatial for geospatial services.

EO-FIN seeks to identify the best practices allowing the EO industry to respond to these requirements through high-quality, standardised, EO products and services and, finally, define a roadmap for the implantation of these EO best practices. For the purposes of this activity, the Financial Management sector will be represented by stakeholders operating in the following four Financial Management markets: Investment Management, Risk management, Insurance Management and Green Finances.
