Space Intelligence – Better Decisions.
Transforming satellite and geospatial data into actionable intelligence for Mauritius, the Indian Ocean and Africa.
01 — The opportunity
Satellites generate enormous amounts of information about our planet. The opportunity is to transform that information into simple, useful intelligence that helps organisations make better decisions.
AERIS does not build rockets or satellites. It works on the layer that turns their data into something people can act on.
02 — What AERIS does
Four initial areas of exploration, where Earth-observation data could deliver practical value for Mauritius and the region.
Monitor vessel activity, identify anomalies and generate actionable maritime insights across the Indian Ocean.
Potential applications
Transform Earth-observation data into insights that support agricultural productivity and risk management.
Potential applications
Monitor environmental change and help organisations understand climate and coastal risks.
Potential applications
Use geospatial intelligence to understand how land and infrastructure are changing.

Outputs
04 — Initial focus
Mauritius offers a unique environment to develop and test Earth-intelligence applications: a large maritime domain, an emerging space ecosystem, strong international partnerships and a growing ambition to commercialise space-derived data.
05 — The big idea
The opportunity is not simply to consume satellite data. It is to build products, companies and intellectual property around it.
06 — Early stage, open to collaboration
AERIS is currently exploring where satellite and Earth-observation data can create the greatest practical and commercial value for Mauritius and the region.
We are particularly interested in collaborating with researchers, government agencies, technology providers, industry partners and entrepreneurs to identify high-value problems and develop focused proof-of-concepts.
THE OPEN QUESTION
“Which problems should a Mauritian space-tech startup solve?”
07 — Vision
AERIS aims to explore the potential for Mauritius to become a launchpad for commercially valuable Earth-intelligence applications serving island states, African markets and global customers.
An early-stage concept being explored in the context of Mauritius Space Strategy 2036 and its pillar on Space-Driven Entrepreneurship & Revenue Growth.
