We are delighted to announce that Mallon has been successfully awarded a place on the GDA–FFF Consortium as part of the European Space Agency’s Global Development Assistance (GDA) programme.
This appointment marks an important milestone for our team and reinforces our continued commitment to delivering innovative, high–impact geospatial solutions aligned with Europe’s evolving space–enabled ambitions.
What is the GDA–FFF?
The GDA–FFF (Global Development Assistance – Fast EO co–Financing Facility) is a cross–cutting area within ESA’s GDA programme. It focuses on building the foundations, frameworks and enabling capabilities that support the development and scaling of space–enabled digital applications across multiple sectors.
The FFF strand plays a critical role in:
- Strengthening the integration of Earth Observation and space data into operational services
- Developing reusable frameworks and scalable architectures
- Supporting innovation through collaboration across industry and public sector partners
- Enabling future–ready digital infrastructures powered by geospatial intelligence
Being selected for this consortium positions Mallon within a collaborative network of leading organisations shaping the next generation of space–enabled services.
Strengthening Our Space & Geospatial Expertise
Our inclusion in the GDA–FFF Consortium reflects our proven expertise across:
- Geospatial software development
