MindEarth

MindEarth is a Swiss-Italian geospatial intelligence company that combines Earth observation, applied machine learning and urban data science to produce decision-support insights about the built environment, human activity and environmental conditions. Its work rests on three complementary pillars. Earth Observation uses satellite imagery and AI to support emergency management, spatial planning, environmental monitoring and humanitarian aid, generating indicators such as land consumption and urban energy efficiency. Mobile Mapping gathers optical and sensor data through proprietary survey devices and a community of mappers using the MindView/MindEarth smartphone app, processed with proprietary computer vision. Mobility Analytics maps movement flows from anonymized, aggregated mobile-application location data combined with open data to enable traffic forecasting, point-of-interest analytics and catchment-area modelling, under a Privacy by Design approach. MindEarth delivers sector-specific solutions for government and public sector, humanitarian and development, mobility and transport, real estate and construction, retail and consumer insight. It leads ESA FutureEO projects including CITYNEXT, an AI platform forecasting 10-year urban expansion and its effects on mobility, climate and air quality using Sentinel-2 and other EO data, and contributed the MapYourCity Challenge dataset.

• Earth Observation Analytics: Satellite imagery and AI support spatial planning, environmental monitoring, disaster response and urban energy assessment.
• CITYNEXT Urban Forecasting: ESA-backed AI platform forecasting urban growth, mobility, urban climate and air quality over a 10-year horizon.
• Mobile Mapping: Proprietary survey devices and the MindEarth app capture street-level optical and sensor data, processed with computer vision.
• Mobility Analytics: Anonymized, aggregated location data yields human-flow, POI and catchment-area insights for transport and retail.
• Sector Solutions: Tailored geospatial intelligence for government, humanitarian, real estate, mobility and consumer-insight use cases.
