About Us

Our Impact

Our world is at a crossroads: the climate is disrupted, biodiversity is at risk, the frequency and magnitude of natural and human-induced disasters is increasing, as well as threats to our security and well-being. ALSO Space is all about developing the user uptake of Earth Observation-based data and services to tackle the challenges of our times. We turn complex geospatial and satellite data into clear, actionable information and narratives which inform and inspire decision-makers, journalists, and engage society. Every insight we communicate generates awareness, meaningful change, as well as adoption and real-world impact.

Our team of 24 international professionals brings over 30 years of cumulative experience across EO, Communication, Business Development, and User Engagement. By combining technical expertise and scientific rigour with creative storytelling and strategic insight, we ensure that satellite data does more than inform- and underpins action.
