What EOMAP does
EOMAP is a German Earth Observation company founded in 2006 that provides satellite-derived aquatic information products and services across maritime and inland waters, focusing on Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB), water quality monitoring, seafloor classification, digital elevation models, hydrology, and land cover classification. The company's customer base is concentrated in government agencies (hydrographic offices, environmental and interior ministries), energy and infrastructure operators, and research institutions, with named engagements including German BMI and BKG, the State Office for the Environment of Baden-Württemberg (LUBW) on a 17-year lake-monitoring program, the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi on approximately 30,000 km² of seafloor habitat mapping, and the Danish Geodata Agency feeding into EMODnet and the Danish Depth Model. Energy-sector clients include Woodside Energy for dredge-plume monitoring since 2007, and academic collaborators include James Cook University on the SmartCoast digital twin pilot.
The technology stack is anchored by 30+ years of physics-based image processing algorithms for multispectral satellite sensors (Sentinel-2, Planet, SPOT, Landsat, MODIS, plus airborne HyMap hyperspectral), with a proprietary MIP atmospheric correction methodology. Products are delivered as a portfolio of cloud-based web applications - eoapp AQUA (water quality), eoapp SDB-Online (bathymetry), eoapp HYPOS (hydropower reservoir management), and eoapp AQUAFARM (aquaculture) - plus WATCOR-X desktop software for navies and hydrographic offices, and service platforms such as Advice4COASTS for coastal decision makers. Supporting innovation projects include Eyes on Plastic (CASSINI Prize winner 2023), Blue-X (offshore renewables), SnowPower, REMAP (drone-based SDB), and COASTS (coastal resilience and blue carbon).
EOMAP generates revenue through three streams: satellite-derived data and analytics (project-based consulting and data licenses), software licensing and SaaS subscriptions (eoapps and WATCOR-X), and professional services and consulting (EIAs, habitat mapping, infrastructure studies). Pricing is quote-based with multi-year enterprise and government contracts; the go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales through regional offices in Germany, the UAE, the USA, and Australia with self-service web apps, partner distribution (Planet Labs Germany, Fugro, ESA), and government procurement channels. The company was acquired by Fugro in February 2025 and continues to operate as part of Fugro's Climate & Nature portfolio, with leadership comprising co-CEOs Robert Hoddenbach and Dr. Stefan Mette, COO Knut Hartmann, and Chief Strategic Officer Dr. Eva Haas.
