What LiveEO does

LiveEO is a Berlin-based Earth observation and geospatial AI company that converts high-resolution satellite imagery, SAR and LiDAR data into risk intelligence for infrastructure operators and regulated supply chains. Its commercial product suite is organized around three vertical solutions built on a shared satellite-AI foundation: Treeline for electric utility and rail vegetation management (detecting grow-in, fall-in and vitality risks along overhead lines and rail corridors), SurfaceScout for oil and gas pipeline third-party risk monitoring (detecting construction, excavation and ground movement in a +/-30 meter corridor with biweekly updates and ~95% accuracy across 10+ activity types), and TradeAware for European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance, including precision deforestation analytics, supplier onboarding, ERP integration and DDS submission to EU TRACES. Named customers span five continents and include Deutsche Bahn (33,000+ km of monitored track), E.DIS (3,750-mile grid), Westerville Electric, British Pipeline Agency, Plains Midstream, Targa, Liberty Utilities, MITNETZ Gas, E.ON, Auchan, Kirana Megatara, SIAT and Sri Trang Agro-Industry.

Underlying the commercial stack is a proprietary AI/ML imagery-processing pipeline that ingests satellite and LiDAR data, generates risk analytics and delivers outputs via web apps, mobile apps and APIs; this stack is SOC 2 Type II certified with in-region data residency across the EU, US and APAC. LiveEO is also developing Twinspector, a dedicated two-satellite constellation for infrastructure monitoring with formation-flying optical stereo imaging at 35cm resolution and onboard AI, built with Reflex Aerospace under a German-centred European industrial consortium and backed by a seven-figure ESA InCubed award, with a planned launch as early as 2028. The company operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Berlin (HQ), New York and Daugavpils, Latvia.

The business model is predominantly enterprise SaaS subscription — quote-based, billed monthly in advance with 12-month initial terms and automatic renewal — for both the Infrastructure Solution (Treeline/SurfaceScout) and the TradeAware platform, supplemented by one-time setup/development services and per-user/per-seat licensing tied to subscription tiers. A freemium self-serve surface for TradeAware drives top-of-funnel supplier adoption, while enterprise sales, system integration partners and hyperscaler co-delivery (notably AWS for Deutsche Bahn) carry the large-deal motion. Disclosed funding exceeds €72 million across rounds led by MMC Ventures, btov Partners, Helen Ventures, DeepTech & Climate Fonds and Nordic Ninja, alongside strategic and EU institutional capital including the European Innovation Council, the European Commission and Investitionsbank Berlin; a May 2026 first closing above €28M is funding an explicit expansion into defense and security applications, anchored by LiveEO's role as an initial partner in the €1.7B German Ministry of Defence Rheinmetall-ICEYE SAR satellite joint venture alongside Reflex Aerospace, OroraTech and ConstellR.

Core offering

LiveEO operates a satellite-AI platform that delivers business-ready risk intelligence from space, providing AI-powered Earth observation analytics for infrastructure monitoring and supply chain compliance. The company sells three software products: TradeAware (EUDR deforestation compliance), Treeline (vegetation management for utilities and rail operators), and SurfaceScout (pipeline third-party risk monitoring), all built on a shared satellite + LiDAR ingestion and AI/ML imagery-processing foundation and delivered via web/mobile apps and APIs. LiveEO is also developing Twinspector, a proprietary two-satellite constellation purpose-built for infrastructure monitoring.

Product overview

LiveEO operates a platform-plus-modules architecture built on a shared satellite-AI foundation, delivering three purpose-built commercial products and one proprietary satellite asset: TradeAware (EUDR deforestation compliance and supply-chain due diligence, with sub-modules Precision Deforestation Analytics, Integrated Legal Analysis, ERP Integration, DDS Submission & TRACES, and Supplier Onboarding), Treeline (vegetation management for electric utilities and rail operators, with sub-modules Automated Risk Detection, Risk Prioritization Engine, Work Management, and Reporting Tools), SurfaceScout (AI-powered pipeline third-party risk monitoring, with sub-modules Automated Risk Detection and Prioritization, Integrated Case Management, Audit-Ready Reporting, and Historical Change Analysis), and Twinspector (a dedicated two-satellite Earth observation constellation for infrastructure monitoring with onboard AI). All three commercial products share the same satellite + LiDAR ingestion pipeline, AI/ML imagery-processing engine, and risk-analytics delivery layer exposed via web apps, mobile apps, and APIs.
