Another Earth develops AI-powered simulation and synthetic data technology that helps organisations train Earth observation models to monitor environmental change, analyse ecosystems, and support predictive environmental management.
Another Earth, a company developing AI-powered simulation and synthetic data for Earth observation, has raised a total of €3.5 million in funding. The round includes new investment from Wake-Up Capital alongside existing investors Rockstart, Inovexus, and Stamco AG, as well as support from the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) and Austria Wirtschaftsservice (AWS).
Based in Vienna, Another Earth develops technology that generates synthetic satellite imagery and geospatial datasets using generative AI and 3D modelling. The platform enables organisations to train and test AI models for monitoring environmental change and analysing land, water, and infrastructure at scale.
The company’s technology is designed to address a key challenge in Earth observation AI: limited access to high-quality training data. Traditional satellite imagery can be costly to obtain, particularly in remote regions, and preparing datasets often requires extensive manual labelling.
By generating synthetic satellite data from scratch, Another Earth can automatically produce labelled and segmented datasets, enabling organisations to train AI models more efficiently while reducing the cost and potential bias associated with traditional data sources.
Maya Pindeus, CEO and co-founder of Another Earth, said the planet is facing increasing challenges, including land degradation and climate-related disasters, and noted that artificial intelligence can help address these issues if it has access to the appropriate data.
The biggest barrier to scaling Earth Observation AI is the scarcity and prohibitive cost of high-quality training data. With this funding, and our deployment into vital ecosystems spanning from Latin America to Africa, we are generating data where there is none. We are giving organisations the tools to transition from reactive crisis response to proactive, predictive intervention.
Another Earth’s international expansion builds on its work in Sub-Saharan Africa, where its technology is used with GeoTerra Image to monitor the environmental impact of mining and industrial sites. The company is also expanding its Synthetic Data Platform in Brazil through a partnership with NovaTerra, focusing on applications such as deforestation monitoring, agricultural analysis, and climate-related risk assessment.
The new funding will be used to accelerate the deployment of the company’s Synthetic Data Engine and expand its use in environmental monitoring and risk simulation.
In particular, Another Earth plans to focus on applications across Brazil and Sub-Saharan Africa, generating high-resolution synthetic satellite data to support biodiversity monitoring, deforestation tracking, and environmental risk analysis in vulnerable ecosystems.
