Vision & Mission

To enable people to act in an aware and timely manner in order to live better and preserve the Earth. We simplify the adoption of geospatial data in order to understand the world better.

Planetek Italia is an Italian Benefit Company established in 1994. It employs 130+ women and men who are passionate and skilled in geoinformatics, Space solutions, and Earth science.

We provide solutions to exploit the value of geospatial data through all phases of the data life cycle, from acquisition, storage, and management up to analysis and sharing.

We operate in many application areas, ranging from environmental and land monitoring to open government and smart cities, defense and security, Space exploration, and EO satellite missions.

The main activity areas are:

• Satellite, aerial, and drone data processing for cartography and geo-information production;
• Continuous monitoring with satellite data of Earth’s surface, infrastructures, work sites, urban dynamics, or marine coastal areas in support of decision-making and operational activities;
• Design and development of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) for geospatial data archive, management and sharing;
• Design and development of real-time geo-location-based solutions, through positioning systems such as GPS/Galileo/GNSS and indoor location systems;
• Development of software for the satellite on-board data and image processing and for ground segment infrastructures.
