Iceye is strengthening its position in central and Eastern Europe. It is forming a strategic partnership with EMIS, a provider of geospatial information systems in Slovakia, to expand access to critical, near real-time hazard information for Slovak authorities. The two companies announced the partnership, Oct. 23.

Slovakia has a population of around 5.5 million people. Iceye’s satellite-derived flood intelligence will be seamlessly integrated into EMIS’s GIS platform, the country’s trusted central geospatial hub used nationwide. It will enable Slovak authorities to access unique Iceye Flood Insights within hours of an event, directly within their existing workflows.

“We look forward to partnering with Iceye to deliver world-class monitoring solutions to Slovakia. Our platform already serves as the central hub for geospatial data across the country. Integrating Iceye’s rapid hazard intelligence significantly expands the insights and value we bring to our users and partners,” Miroslav Vanek, CEO, said in a statement.
