Platform Services
We offer our services in several access modes, each with comprehensive satellite data catalogue and processing and storage capacity, and a development interface for creating new processing services:
- Subscription packages with compelling collections of tools and extensive resources to support also demanding use cases,
- Single services for subscription individually for more targeted use cases, and
- Pay-per-use services, including a featured tool by our new service provider partner GAMMA Remote Sensing.
Note: Opportunity for free-of-charge access via the ESA Network of Resources.

New F-TEP (beta) is an initial release of an advanced, revised edition of Forestry TEP, building on the Earth Observation Exploitation Platform Common Architecture (EOEPCA). It upgrades the platform architecture to employ Kubernetes, providing improved performance and robustness. The users can also enjoy, e.g., new capabilities for inter-platform collaboration and the possibility for cross-platform reuse of developed applications, exploiting a new processing service concept based on the OGC Best Practice for Earth Observation Application Package.
Expert services
VTT specialist team is available for training, consulting and other expert services.
Forestry TEP Exploitation Support
In the form of a) tutorials and other documentation and b) direct consultancy to the user.
Feasibility Analysis
To support the assessment of maturity of a processing service for publishing on the platform, we offer due diligence analysis for service onboarding.
Onboarding Support
Recommended as a follow-up to the Feasibility Analysis, to support the service finalization and onboarding.
Customized user trainings
To support the efficient use of the platform. The training events can be fully tailored by the audience and the needs of the users.
Sponsorship via the ESA Network of Resources (NoR)
The European Space Agency (ESA) has set up the Network of Resources (NoR) to stimulate the uptake of platform services. Forestry TEP is an eligible service provider in the NoR: for research and pre-commercial uses, our users can apply for sponsorship to cover the costs of the platform use.
To apply for free use of our platform packages, head to the NoR Portfolio page, from where you can access the NoR service portal. There, scroll down or search for “VTT”. Select Pricing Wizard and follow the instructions in filling in the form. Export the completed application as a pdf document, obtain the needed signatures and send it to ESA for approval (in 1-2 weeks).
We also arrange tailored platform services, as well as user trainings and other support services. With any requests or questions, please contact us! We will be glad to assist you.
