Top SchoolPedro Gonçalves is a co-founder and seasoned technology strategist who has spent two decades turning Earth Observation research into operational, cloud-native platforms for institutions and public authorities. After pioneering distributed EO processing at ESA, he helped build Terradue into an international provider of interoperable, multi-mission data infrastructures and now leads its expansion in Portugal.
