Don’t’ take our word for it – Hear from our customers
Anthony Peake, CEO and Co-Founder of Intelligent AI – “With SCE, we have created a much richer solution. SCE was able to collaborate with small and medium enterprises that have strong technical skills, but we lacked expertise in satellites. I would highly recommend anyone with a vision for their product to speak with SCE.”
Kelly Price, Co-Founder and CEO of Agreed Earth – The SCE program’s robust network of space professionals, and their commitment to advancing the UK space sector were major factors that captured our attention.
Nima Eskandari, CEO of Agtelligence – The programme’s emphasis on bringing EO technology to market rapidly resonates with our vision for advancing sustainability and environmental monitoring through EO solutions. Ultimately, the SCE presented a unique platform for Agtelligence to realise its goals and contribute to the growth of the space economy.
Dr. Jordan Lindsay, Sustainability Coordinator, Minviro Ltd – “SCE helped bridge a critical skills gap in our team. As geologists and mining engineers, we lacked expertise in EO data and satellite imagery. SCE provided the knowledge and tools to integrate geographical data into our software, allowing us to model materials, energy consumption, and lifecycle impacts in real time. This support has been invaluable in taking our product to the next level.”
