LiveEO wins at Planet Purpose Award
Published on Thu, 14.10.2021 – 14:09 CEST in Awards, covering PlanetAt the beginning of the year, the U.S. company Planet Labs announced that it would be awarding prizes to companies that, in its view, play a pioneering role. The Berlin-based startup LiveEO has now won the "Be Collaborative" category.
The Planet Purpose Awards recognize companies around the world whose activities are particularly aligned with various aspects of Planet Labs' core values. The categories are based on Planet Labs' Purpose. This word, which is difficult to translate into German, refers to the intention, task, purpose or meaning of a brand/company, especially in a professional context. The individual categories of the award are "Do Good," "Dream Big," "Be Collaborative," "Drive for Results" and "Strive for Openness." Planet Labs reports that numerous applications were received in each category. Each one was read and evaluated by the California-based company's leadership team.
The award in the "Be Collaborative" category is designed to show how groups and partnerships can work together to accomplish something that each individual could not do alone. The citation for the LiveEO winner states:
LiveEO shares the mission for agile and practical aerospace as the company consistently provides its customers with up-to-date information on the condition of infrastructure such as railroads, pipelines and power lines. They have also provided constructive feedback that has helped improve our SkySat product.
Planet Labs Inc.
Co-Founder and Co-CEO of LiveEO Daniel Seidel summarizes the work with Planet as follows: "The first commercial contract we signed with a satellite operator in our founding year 2018 was with Planet. This was due to their market-leading position in providing scalable access to data via API combined with the wide coverage of PlanetScope imagery. Today, we are also jointly developing fully automated products based on SkySat tasking. Together, we are going where no one has gone before."
Other award winners include Vigil Monitor (Do Good category), NTT Data (Dream Big), San Diego Gas & Electric (Drive for Results) and Sinergise (Strive for Openness).
LiveEO already won Deutsche Bahn's Supplier Innovation Award in June of this year for monitoring the rail network, which is around 33,000 km long in total.
