Formation of Team Space Data Lab

In a significant move towards utilizing satellite data for community enhancement, the AI Research Institute of Adsol Nissin Corporation has joined forces with Professor Shinichi Nakashuka of the University of Tokyo to establish the non-profit "Team Space Data Lab." This initiative is geared towards promoting the effective application of satellite data, especially for municipalities, by facilitating knowledge-sharing and practical experiences.

Overview of Team Space Data Lab

Since 2022, Adsol Nissin has engaged in collaborative research with the University of Tokyo, focusing on the intersection of satellite data and AI. Through this collaboration, various activities such as lectures for students and seminars for high schoolers have been conducted to raise awareness about the benefits of satellite data utilization. Recognizing the need for more comprehensive support beyond traditional business ventures, the formation of Team Space Data Lab became a necessity.

With key members from both the university and industry, this team aims to support local communities in adopting satellite data in a neutral and accessible manner. Guided by the principle of cooperation, the team looks to pave the way for municipalities to leverage satellite data effectively.

Purpose and Background of the Seminar

The forthcoming seminar, titled "Beginning Steps for Utilizing Satellite Data for Local Government," is scheduled for February 27, 2026, in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. This event focuses on addressing the potential challenges that local authorities face when considering the integration of satellite data into their operations. Many practitioners express concerns regarding the complexity and applicability of satellite data in daily tasks. Team Space Data Lab aims to bridge this gap by providing a platform for participants to engage with satellite data confidently.

By offering an open and exploratory environment, the seminar intends to demystify the use of satellite data. With a focus on crucial themes such as agricultural monitoring and support for sustainable community development, the initiative will encourage participants to understand and experiment with the practical applications of satellite data.
