Services

01

Environment

Snow Mapping
Forest Monitoring
Crop Assessment
Change Detection


The earth is rapidly changing and satellites are the best tool to measure that globally. The quantification of these changes on different scales enable regional, national and international policy-makers to make educated decisions to improve efficiency and sustainability.

02

Infrastructure

Site Information
Planning Assistance
Hazard Monitoring
Asset Management


As cities become bigger, rural areas fight with an increasing outflow. Urban planning and regional development based on geo-information, statistical models and remote-sensing data help public sector entities to manage and obtain their resources as effectively as possible.

03

Resources

Condition Analysis
Quantification
Monitoring
Estimations and Trends


The world's population is affected by changing environmental conditions. Acquiring accurate metrics for strategic management of resources is crucial for an efficient use of ecosystem goods and services and to become more resilient.

04

Insurance

Exposure Management
Index Insurance
Risk Reduction
Loss Assessment


Severe weather events put enormous pressure on insurances that manage the risks of farmers, governments or companies. Highly scalable spatio-temporal data is an essential input for modern insurers to model different scenarios for their customers.

About

Every day, multiple satellites collect petabytes of data from our earth's surface. A lot of those images are freely available, but due to the sheer endless amount of possible applications in science and business services, they are stored in a raw state that satisfies only the most basic needs for as many use-cases as possible. The theme of generic solutions for everybody is symptomatic for the remote sensing community and exactly the reason why ExoLabs exists — we develop solutions that are tailored to your needs.

With us, the complex tasks of pre-processing large amounts of satellite data in different spatial, temporal and spectral dimensions can be dispatched and the prevailing concept of general solutions forgotten. We start building where your idea begins.

ExoLabs is a Swiss company located in Zurich, founded in 2017 as a spin-off of the University of Zurich. Remote sensing is our common interest and scientific background.
