It is the commercial vehicle through which the scientific know-how developed by the
University’s Earth Observation Laboratory is made available to public and private
initiatives in the form of user-oriented applications.
Immediately after its foundation GEO-K was incubated within ESA-ESRIN where new
technology, based on artificial neural networks for the processing of satellite data, was
further developed.
In 2007, GEO-K was awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certification for "Design and
development of satellite data processing components for GeoInformation production.
Over the last few years
GEO-K has been involved in contracts with national (ISPRA, ASI) and international (ESA)
institutions for the exploitation of EO data. Furthermore, in the ESA Fuegosat Synthesis
study, GEO-K has contributed, together with the University of Valencia, to defining a new
TIR space-mission. The company has also acquired experience in providing educational
sessions in EO, mainly addressing companies or technical groups.
Often GEO-K exports its technology and know -how to other fields of engineering not
strictly related to EO. In the past, consultancy has been provided for Automatic Incident
Detection problems, Solar Energy Devices and Electromagnetic Pollution analysis.
