From Orbit to Insight: How Satellites and AI Are Transforming Industries

Satellites are now using AI more than ever - to track weather, monitor forests, guide ships, and much more. The commercial space sector already accounts for 77% of the global space economy, showing just how active private companies have become. Space is becoming a key player in how we work with AI and big data and in 2023 alone, private companies attracted 9.3 billion EUR in investment. The part of this sector focused on analyzing satellite data is growing especially fast—over 40% a year until 2028. As more satellites collect more information, AI helps turn it into useful insights. By 2033, the AI and space industry is expected to grow by more than 45.6 billion EUR.

About

Climate change modelling

AI analyzes satellite imagery to detect wildfires early, track their spread, and support rapid emergency response.

Insurance risk assesment

Insurers use satellite imagery analyzed by AI to assess property risks, detect fraud, and model exposure to environmental hazards.

Fire detection

AI analyzes satellite imagery to detect wildfires early, track their spread, and support rapid emergency response.

Environmental surveying

Satellite data combined with AI identifies oil spills, gas leaks, and pollution patterns for faster environmental risk management.

Agricultural monitoring

AI analyzes satellite imagery to track crop health, soil moisture, and irrigation needs, optimizing yield and resource use.

Urban planning and land use

AI uses satellite data to map urban expansion, traffic patterns, and infrastructure development for smarter city planning.
