Our take
A lot of data analytics focuses on the small details - the digital footprint and individual clicks of a person’s online presence. Ursa Space Systems focuses on the big picture, quite literally, with its provision of satellite intelligence data.
The applications of Ursa’s data are manifold - spanning logistics, weather, climate, security intelligence and more. While a lot of business have their own data analysis capabilities, access to the data Ursa provides is difficult to come by, which is what sets it apart from the crowd.
Its a leading player in its corner of the market, and has received strong levels of investment. This supports the expansion of its capabilities to better support emerging markets for this kind of data, such as supply chain optimization and insurance.
