SUMMARY
ESA Φ-lab invites you to join a dynamic three-day event in the heart of Europe’s Earth Observation disruptive innovation hub. Held at ESA-ESRIN (Frascati, Italy), from 23 to 25 June 2026, this event event brings together forward-thinking researchers, bold entrepreneurs, and technology pioneers to explore the future of Earth observation.
Framed around groundbreaking ideas and transformative innovation, this gathering will spotlight disruptive technologies and approaches that could redefine the future of Earth Observation, exploiting transformative innovations like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Quantum, Neuromorphic, Edge and Bio-inspired Computing, Metamaterials and Surfaces, Immersive Visualisation, Cognitive Space, Computational Imaging, and many more.
Φnnovation Summit is not your typical conference. Designed to be interactive and community-driven, the programme features many parallel sessions, with formats chosen by the attendees themselves – whether it is a fast-paced PechaKucha, an open Fishbowl dialogue or the Main Plenary in the mornings.
This is where your ideas will take flight! Researchers, tech and business innovators alike will find a space to connect, collaborate and inspire. This event offers a rare opportunity to engage in bold, open dialogue on how emerging technologies can accelerate progress in Earth Observation and beyond.
