The gap
Access, not capability.
Korean space and Earth Observation companies, Satrec Initiative, SI Imaging Services, Hanwha Systems, Telepix, and a growing cohort of KAIST and KARI-incubated startups, operate at the technical front line of optical, SAR, and AI-driven downstream services. The assets are there.
Since 17 July 2025, the funding eligibility is there too: Korea is associated to Horizon Europe Pillar II on the same terms as EU member states. A Korean SME can sit inside a Cluster 4 Space consortium as a full partner, drawing on programmes routinely budgeted at €3M–€15M per project.
What is missing is the connective tissue, the European consortium networks, the proposal-structuring practice, and the call-by-call positioning that turns a technically credible company into a funded partner, in Europe and across Asia. KOREO Bridge is that connective layer.

Founder · Lead
Alexandra Bojor
Founded by Alexandra Bojor, an Earth Observation specialist and international collaboration strategist based in Vienna, KOREO Bridge was created to support Korean EO companies in accessing European partnerships, consortiums, and funded innovation opportunities. With a background in geospatial technologies, Earth Observation applications, and European innovation ecosystems, Alexandra has developed expertise at the intersection of EO, international cooperation, and strategic ecosystem integration.
Her work focuses on strengthening Europe–Asia collaboration in the Earth Observation sector by connecting innovative EO companies with strategic partners, funding ecosystems, and high-impact international opportunities across Europe. She specializes in ecosystem integration, consortium positioning, and international business development within the evolving space and geospatial innovation landscape.
KOREO Bridge operates in strategic collaboration with LETO SPACE, combining Korean market engagement with European space ecosystem expertise to support the development of cross-border EO partnerships, consortium participation, and innovation-driven collaboration initiatives.
We believe the future of Earth Observation innovation will be built through cross-border collaboration, trusted networks, and the ability to connect the right capabilities with the right opportunities at the right moment.
“Shaping the future of Europe–Korea Earth Observation collaboration through innovation partnerships, funded programmes, and strategic ecosystem integration.”
