Xoople and VITO Enter Strategic Partnership to Bring Earth Intelligence to Enterprise Scale

MADRID, Spain, & MOL, Belgium – September 15 2026 – Xoople and VITO today announced a strategic partnership to develop and bring to market a new generation of Earth intelligence solutions for enterprise, government and public-sector organisations. Combining European sovereign capabilities, the partnership builds on work already underway, with the first jointly developed solutions expected to enter public preview in Q4 2026 ahead of an initial commercial launch in 2027.

The partnership unites VITO’s world-leading Earth observation expertise and ready-to-use analytics with Xoople’s Earth data platform, processing infrastructure and enterprise integrations. Together, the organisations will accelerate the adoption of scientifically validated Earth intelligence solutions that enable businesses and governments to monitor, understand and respond to change across the Earth’s surface. Initial focus areas include agriculture, environmental monitoring, supply-chain traceability, infrastructure intelligence, climate risk, AI-powered analytics and selected defence and security applications.

The collaboration will begin with joint customer engagements, pilot programmes and product development initiatives built on proven Earth intelligence capabilities and leading Earth observation datasets, while preparing future products for enhancement through data from Xoople’s planned satellite constellation.

The partnership spans the Earth intelligence value chain — from improving the quality of satellite observations to turning them into decision-ready insights. The organisations are already collaborating on VITO’s world-class iCOR atmospheric correction technology, as well as on advanced downstream Earth intelligence capabilities including global cropland and crop-type mapping, crop monitoring and yield prediction. By combining VITO’s scientific expertise with Xoople’s scalable Earth data infrastructure and commercial ecosystem, the partners aim to accelerate the deployment of trusted Earth intelligence across food systems, supply chains, financial services, climate and environmental markets, and government.

‘Europe has some of the world’s most advanced Earth observation science’, said Fabrizio Pirondini, CEO of Xoople, ‘By combining VITO’s scientific expertise with Xoople’s platform, AI and future constellation capabilities, we can transform world-class Earth observation insights into enterprise-scale solutions that enable organisations to make faster, better and more confident decisions.’

Inge Neven, CEO of VITO, said: “By combining VITO’s deep scientific expertise, advanced Earth observation capabilities and proven ability to turn data into validated applications with Xoople’s platform and commercial reach, we can accelerate the development and deployment of Earth intelligence solutions that enable organisations to make better decisions on critical economic, environmental and societal challenges.”

Together, Xoople and VITO will help bridge the gap between Earth observation science and operational decision making, enabling organisations to turn planetary-scale data into real-world action.
