Planet Signs Enterprise Agreement with Slovenian Government to Support Agriculture, Urban Planning and Disaster Management
BERLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Planet Labs Germany GmbH, a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced an enterprise-scale agreement with the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia (GURS) to provide comprehensive satellite data and high-resolution tasking capabilities across the country’s civil public administration.
This strategic partnership establishes a unified spatial data resource for Slovenian state and municipal authorities. Under the agreement, the civil public administration will gain access to Planet’s high-cadence PlanetScope imagery, and GURS will also have access to high-resolution tasking services. The data will serve as the foundational spatial basis for critical national analyses, including systematic monitoring of Slovenia’s vast forest cover and agricultural health, tracking for urban & infrastructure planning to inform sustainable development, and rapid detection and response capabilities for natural disasters, specifically wildfires, droughts, and flooding events.
“Our mission at GURS is to provide the highest quality geodetic and spatial data to support the prosperity and safety of the Republic of Slovenia,” said Tomaž Petek, Director-General of the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia. “This agreement with Planet represents a significant leap forward in our national infrastructure. By integrating daily global scanning and high-resolution tasking into our workflows, we are providing our agencies with the tools needed for faster decisions during natural disasters and a more robust foundation for the long-term planning of our built and natural environments.”
The deal moves Slovenia toward a more proactive governance model, where frequent satellite updates allow for better planning, monitoring, and reporting to both domestic and European regulatory bodies.
“Slovenia is a leader in regional environmental digital transformation, and we are proud to support GURS in creating a truly integrated spatial data ecosystem,” said Martin Polak, Managing Director of Planet Labs Germany GmbH. “By providing a single, fresh, and consistent satellite data resource to the entire civil public administration, Slovenia is reducing bureaucratic silos and ensuring that both state and municipal authorities are making decisions based on the most current information available from orbit.”
Planet’s history in Slovenia dates back to 2023, following the company’s acquisition of Sinergise. Today, Planet’s Ljubljana office serves as one of the core hubs in its European operations.
