Private sector engagement

CGMS Members are leveraging the opportunities of the rapidly growing commercial space sector while maintaining operational data standards and open data sharing. Moving forward, CGMS seeks to increase engagement with the private sector through multi-sector engagements to help foster innovation and to address our common challenges.

CGMS-52 approved best practices for commercial data purchases, part of the CGMS Futures 2022+ Project.  These best practices were later shared at the WMO Open Consultative Platform and the American Meteorological Society annual meeting. The CGMS best practices on relationship with the private sector on commercial data purchases, endorsed by CGMS-52 plenary, are available here.

The World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) Open Consultative Platform (OCP) and CGMS will work together in the coming years to engage the commercial industry. Information about the OCP is available here.

While the CGMS Futures 2022+ Project: Relationship to the Private Sector theme will sunset at CGMS-53, activities will continue annually through the CGMS Working Groups.
