Development & Implementation

What sets us apart is that we do not just give advice, but can actually make things happen. Related to the development and implementation of geodata applications we provide hands-on technical expertise on:

Earth observation and sensor technologies
Information/monitoring systems (software)
Data fusion, analysis and image processing
Technology proof-of-concepts

The infrastructure for satellite Earth observation is already there. Possibilities for applications are endless and we are curious to explore them.
