Company mission
To enable everyone to make better decisions, in a variety of industries, based on timely and reliable Earth observation data.
Our take
With its origins in Helsinki and now with a U.S subsidiary, Iceye is a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging startup. Its in-house built constellation delivers monitoring capabilities for any location on earth, providing customers with reliable and frequent images of any point on the Earth’s surface.
Despite other players in the game, Iceye’s unique satellite constellation and technology approach means that its offerings are unmatched, whilst purposely being built smaller, more affordable and more flexible than legacy systems. The breadth of use for various customers provides it with mass-market appeal, including shipping, insurance, maritime monitoring, and natural disaster response.
Most recent Series D funding will be invested into remote sensing, developing its abilities to capture images of Earth from space, including the ability look through cloud covering, and the technology necessary to do so. In doing so, the company hopes to grow appeal to a broader range of customers, such as the defense industry.
