It all has begun with the weather. Weather monitoring from space and from local
weather stations has always been the fil rouge of the history and the present of MEEO.
Since the beginning, the MEEO’s staff has been spending all its resources and energy to
facilitate the access and the exploitation of any kind of geospatial data with a clear focus
on remote sensing and climate data.
Founded in 2004 in Ferrara, Italy, MEEO started
its activity providing products and services for climate monitoring and atmospheric
pollution monitoring, extending successively its application domain to the Earth surface
mapping.
In 2006, the European Space Agency - ESA awarded MEEO with an industrial contract
for the implementation and development of products and services based on remote
sensing and since that time, the company has been continuously working in the space
sector by providing innovative solutions to cope with the never-ending challenge of
Earth Observation data exploitation.
MEEO has always been looking for new ways to evolve and, in 2009, a branch company,
SISTEMA GmbH, was founded in Vienna as R&D laboratory. SISTEMA is focused on
development of new data processing tools, working mainly on ESA and on Austrian
National projects. In 2011 MEEO became an affiliated partner of the Climate-KIC
European initiative, investing in innovative projects to create new services for the climate
mitigation and adaptation market.
In 2014 MEEO opted to improve the quality of its offer establishing a owned data
infrastructure that provides on line processing and storage capability. The MEEO Data
Facility (MEEO-DAF) is a high performance infrastructure created to support the high
computing demand of geospatial data and services and to develop and test new cloud
computing solutions for big geospatial data exploitation.
In 2018 MEEO entered formally in the Copernicus world becoming a partner of the
Copernicus Academy network to empower the next generation of researchers, scientists,
and entrepreneurs with suitable skill sets to exploit Copernicus data and information
services at their full potential.
By going through the brief company history, the offer of MEEO is quite clear. MEEO
boasts a team made by people with a decadal experience and passion for innovative
solutions in the use of Climate and Earth Observation data and tools and with a deep
knowledge of the whole value chain of the space data management and processing.
