About Us

Unlocking The Full Potential

of Earth Observation

From monitoring critical infrastructure to ensuring transparent, deforestation-free supply chains, we use satellite technology and AI to help industries operate more safely, sustainably, and efficiently.

Our mission

Our mission is to unlock the full potential of Earth Observation data for the benefit of all mankind and to protect life on Earth.

Our Story

It All Started With an Idea

LiveEO began with a simple but powerful belief: if we could see the planet more clearly, we could protect it more effectively. Our founders, inspired by the vast potential of satellite imagery, saw that the same technology used to explore space could be used to solve urgent problems here on Earth.

In 2018, they set out from Berlin with a mission to bridge the gap between complex space technology and the industries that keep our world running. The early days were fueled by curiosity, late nights, and the conviction that Earth observation could be more than data: it could be a force for good.

Today, our solutions monitor thousands of kilometers of power lines, pipelines, and railways, and ensure supply chains remain transparent and compliant with the EU Deforestation Regulation. By combining advanced AI with cutting-edge satellite technology, we help organizations reduce risk, cut costs, and accelerate their journey toward a sustainable future.
