Planet Partners With Taylor Geospatial Institute For Research On Food Security

Planet has entered into a multi-year contract with Saint Louis University in support of the Taylor Geospatial Institute (TGI), a leading geospatial research collaborative. Bringing together eight midwestern universities and research centers, TGI aims to harness innovation in geospatial science and make scientific discoveries that address global challenges. With access to Planet’s satellite data, TGI aims to enable researchers to explore critical issues surrounding global food security, core geospatial science and computation, geospatial health, and national security. As Planet’s largest ever direct university engagement, this agreement offers us our broadest potential university user community. Through this multi-user agreement, TGI member institutions will gain access to our data through our Education and Research Program.
