EarthLab Luxembourg

What EarthLab Luxembourg does

EarthLab Luxembourg S.A. is a private Luxembourg-headquartered technology company founded in 2015 that combines artificial intelligence, big-data processing and Earth Observation (satellite, aerial, drone, street-view and webcam imagery) to deliver risk-management analytics and a vertical property-intelligence product primarily for the insurance industry. The company operates a platform-plus-modules architecture anchored by the Max-ICS Platform, a hybrid cloud / on-premises / community cloud environment built on Apache Mesos, Spark, TensorFlow with Keras, Cassandra and ElasticSearch, supporting a zero-code "Deep Learning Factory©" for end-to-end ML pipeline creation and an internal marketplace of pre-existing micro-service components. Layered on Max-ICS is the Building Knowledge Centre (BKC), a packaged insurance application composed of three modules—Underwriting Support, Portfolio Refresh & Analytics, and Claim Management—delivered via API to provide property attributes and claim-cost prediction for insurers, brokers and reinsurers, with broader stated solutions also spanning finance, agriculture, security, transport, telecom, maritime surveillance, humanitarian actions and space surveillance.

The firm monetizes through four streams: Max-ICS platform licensing/SaaS subscriptions, usage-based Advanced Analytics as a Service hosted in a Tier IV datacenter in Kayl, end-to-end professional services for Big Data and AI projects, and API-delivered BKC subscriptions for insurance. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting CTOs, Chief Risk Officers and underwriting teams at insurers, financial institutions and industrial corporates, complemented by API-first product delivery. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per project or enterprise contract. EarthLab is positioned within the Telespazio Group ecosystem (a Leonardo/Thales joint venture) and has adopted Leonardo's compliance framework, and the company is led by General Manager Thomas Friederich with a lean 7-person team based in Mamer, Luxembourg.

Key AI differentiators cited by the company include explainability (CAM, Grad-CAM), differential privacy / encrypted computation research, a Green AI / Red AI energy-efficiency framework, and a 30+ architecture AI model-zoo, though these claims are not validated by external benchmarks or publications in the available sources.
