Lausanne, Switzerland | December 3, 2024 - Picterra and Planet Labs PBC have announced a strategic partnership to deliver Picterra’s advanced geospatial solutions to its customers. Building on a history of collaborative projects, this partnership expands the use of Planet’s high-frequency satellite data combined with Picterra’s GeoAI platform to provide a dynamic resource for actionable data-driven decisions, such as sustainability monitoring.
The partnership reflects both organizations’ dedication to innovation and environmental stewardship. The two companies already have a history of collaboration on several projects, combining satellite data with artificial intelligence for forestry monitoring and data-driven investigations for critical global issues. In Bolivia, forest conditions were analyzed for Bolivia’s National Rural Agency (INRA) using Picterra’s GeoAI platform with PlanetScope data, accessed via Picterra’s imagery server streaming capability, supported by Marvich AI and CIVIS.
Another achievement involved publications with the Swedish television broadcasting company SVT and the New York Times using Planet data and Picterra’s GeoAI for investigative journalism. The New York Times investigation was recognized with a Pulitzer Prize for its innovative use of artificial intelligence in journalism.

Together, we can open up new possibilities for innovation by combining our unique strengths for enterprises that are transforming industries."
-Martina Löfqvist, Head of Strategy and Partnerships, Picterra
"Planet’s mission to image the entire Earth daily perfectly complements Picterra’s goal of making GeoAI accessible to address sustainability topics. By combining our strengths, we can provide customers with even more powerful and valuable insights to address their most critical challenges."
