SkyWatch is a venture-backed space technology company in Waterloo focused on the seamless and affordable distribution of satellite data to commercial markets, enabling businesses, applications, and solutions that were never before possible. 

​

Their team consists of NASA award-winning developers, Earth observation scientists, big data and unicorn startup veterans who come from ten different countries. Their leadership team includes leading figures in Canadian space, an Earth Observation veteran who has led multiple companies through IPOs, a planetary robotics graduate from the International Space University, and a petabyte-scale data leader with patents in location AI and contextual analytics.

​

The market for Earth Observation satellite data and services is projected to represent a $56B cumulative revenue opportunity over the next 10 years, growing to $7.2B annually in 2028 (source: NSR). The way we look at the world is changing - with more sensors and more data - and SkyWatch is at the forefront of creating the digital infrastructure to support this revolution. 

​

​

How Are They Changing the World? ​

​

Today, satellite imagery is expensive and difficult for customers to access and manage.  SkyWatch addresses these challenges through two developing two products: 

 

1. EarthCache, an easy-to-use Application Programming Interface (“API”), allowing application developers to programmatically integrate satellite imagery, from multiple imagery providers, into their software

2. TerraStream, a data infrastructure product that provides satellite operators with an integrated data storage, cataloging, ordering, processing and delivery solution, allowing them to serve customers faster, with less operational and financial risk.

 

Their technology is enabling agriculture customers to monitor crop health; energy customers to monitor oil pipelines and solar farms; and global banks to monitor infrastructure development, among hundreds of other unique use cases. All from space, with just a few lines of code.
