INSPIRE as a Service – Since 2015
1.200+ Organisations, 150.000+ Assets/APIs

KeyAdvantages
Fully automated publication and effective
harmonisation reduces effort by 80 to 95%

Continuous maintenance and highrobustness ensures compliance

New APIs, Models and Formats caneasily be added

Objectives of the Forest Data SpaceZUG AI Lighthouse project, Phase II
Perceptive: Understandcurrent tree health

Which stands are most at risk?
Which species are suitable for alocation in different scenarios?
How can the forest be transformed
to reach goals in terms of biodiversity,
climate change, and economic factors?

Predictive: Understand impact ofclimate and pathogens

Cognitive: Support decision
making and implementation
Connect: Forest owners,
consultants, seed vendors,
machine rental, …

Core goals
Hyper-local recommendations

Multiple scenarios with explanations
and drill-downContinuously updated data from in-situ
and remote sensing sources
