City of Wrocław

Government

"We wanted to ensure our investment in a Smart City initiative drove an immediate impact and that is why we turned to satellite imagery. Through our work with SatRev and Planet, we have not only significantly increased the efficiency of our operations but we also grew our tax revenue. The recovered taxes support the city’s investments on an ongoing basis.” IZABELA PIEKIELNIK Director of the Tax and Fee Department City of Wrocław, Poland

New Mexico State Land Office

Government

“In total we manage over 13 million acres of land, which has required the New Mexico State Land Office to use imagery captured from several sources. While beneficial, it was expensive and the imagery was often out of date by months if not years by the time it was available. Planet’s data provides up-to-date information when we need it and empowers us to take action.” Stephanie Garcia Richard, Commissioner of Public Lands, New Mexico State Land Office
