Roderic Molina (smeSpire)

SmeSpire is a Support Action for r Geo-ICT SMEs driven by a consortium of key players from 12 different Member States: SMEs, research centres, environmental agencies, a public body and a non-profit association. 

SmeSpire's purpose is to encourage and enable the participation of SMEs in the mechanisms of harmonizing and making large-scale environmental content available. 

This will be achieved through 4 key actions: 
- the study and assessment of the market potential for geo-ICT SMEs in relation to the INSPIRE Directive; 
- the collation and exploitation of a Best Practice Catalogue in the management of environmental content; 
- the development of a multilingual training package on INSPIRE implementation
- the creation of a network capable of transferring result-driven knowledge.
