Ibadan, 6 May 2026. – LiveEO has successfully closed its first series round, raising more than €28 million to fuel the company’s continued expansion across its core civil markets in infrastructure monitoring.
At the same time, the company is accelerating its strategic push into dual-use defense and security applications, an area of rapidly growing demand across Europe and beyond. LiveEO subsequently plans on investing the newly raised capital into three main pillars:
- Scaling the civil business: LiveEO will expand its core commercial business in critical infrastructure, with an offering including risk intelligence for wildfire mitigation, vegetation management, and pipeline monitoring;
- Expanding into defense: The same satellite and AI-stack proven in civil use cases is directly applicable to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), infrastructure protection, and situational awareness. This positions LiveEO as a leading European provider of sovereign geospatial intelligence for the EU and its allies.
- Building Twinspector: Earlier this year, LiveEO announced the launch of its European-built satellite constellation, Twinspector, purpose-designed for infrastructure monitoring. Delivering up to 35 cm stereo imagery, Twinspector will be the largest 3D camera in space, giving customers truly independent access to the data they need.
Since its founding in 2018, LiveEO has grown into a trusted partner for critical infrastructure operators across the globe, driven by a fundamental industry shift: the move from periodic, manual inspections toward continuous, satellite- and AI-enabled risk intelligence.
“When we started LiveEO, we set out to prove that satellite data and AI could transform how the world’s most critical infrastructure is managed,” said Sven Przywarra, Co-Founder of LiveEO. “That proof is now global, across five continents, with some of the world’s leading utilities, pipeline, and railway operators.”
“What this (financing) round enables is acceleration: deeper into the civil markets where we have proven product-market fit, faster on the GTM and product development side, and now into defense, where demand for exactly what we’ve built is accelerating rapidly. The commercial opportunity ahead of us is larger than ever”.
LiveEO is also well-poised to benefit from the strategic importance Europe now places on sovereign, independent access to Earth observation data, together with the rapid commercial adoption of satellite-based applications.
