More than half of the world’s population live in cities. 17 of the top 20 fastest-growing economies are cities in India. Using satellite data, we provide timely alternative data in regions where information is scarce. In this article, we use our proprietary AI/ML algorithms to analyze urban growth in the fastest-growing city in the world: Surat, India.

As a second wave of COVID19 lockdowns hit Europe, we look at our new nowcasting Satellite Activity Indices (SAI) to assess the effect on economic activity. Read our blog to find out how the second wave compares to the last lockdown, and how various sectors in different countries are responding.

In late July, a cargo ship called MV Wakashio ran aground south of Mauritius, causing the biggest ecological disaster ever faced in the Indian Ocean. In this article, we use our proprietary Change Detection algorithms to analyze the crisis from space.

In this blog, we look at insights from our new Activity Structure Index – a warning signal for economic inflection points by looking at how COVID-19 lockdowns impacted auto production.

In this article, we uncover insights into China’s auto industry rebound post COVID lockdown, using our new China Automotive Satellite Activity Index. This is one of many industry specific indices we will be releasing in the near future, built using satellite data.

Our team has developed AI/ML algorithms designed to precisely classify military equipment on the ground using high-resolution satellite imagery. We analyzed Yelizovo Air Force Base and Avacha Bay to see if we could validate what was reported by the press.

Our China Satellite Manufacturing Index (June number released today) is an independent snapshot of overall manufacturing activity from space. In this post, we break the index down into specific categories ranging from distribution centers to container ports and more.

We are proud to announce the launch of SpaceKnow Nowcasting Solutions (SKNOW), an independent, near real-time product suite that tracks economic activity across a range of countries and industries.
