Planet Labs has secured an enterprise-scale agreement with the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia (GURS) for satellite data to support agriculture, urban planning, and disaster management. 

This agreement gives Slovenian state and municipal authorities access to PlanetScope imagery and high-resolution tasking services for GURS. The data will serve as the foundational spatial basis national analyses. This includes monitoring forest cover and agricultural health, urban and infrastructure planning, and natural disaster response capabilities.

Planet said it will provide a single and consistent satellite data resource to the entire civil public administration. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. 

Planet has an office in Slovenia in Ljubljana and acquired Slovenian company Sinergise in 2023 for its Earth Data Platform. 

“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.”
