Our Mission
SkyFi is easifying access to earth observation and other geospatial data. Accessing, using, & buying earth observation imagery and data is extremely hard.

What we do has tremendous potential to solve meaningful problems in our world. Everyone can be empowered by having this technology at their fingertips: detect bridges that are about to break, check the health of crops, track the evolution of endangered species, and introduce use cases that we can’t even imagine yet. Grab the chance to be part of this. Join a team of open-minded, dynamic people solving new challenges, and working on new technology in an exciting market with immense growth. SkyFi is the place for you.
