The Horizontal Platform for Earth Observation

Today, I am speaking with Grega Milčinski, CEO of Sinergise, a geospatial IT company based in Slovenia. Sinergise is most well-known for their flagship product, Sentinel Hub, which is a platform for accessing, processing and analysing Earth observation data.

Grega has been around in the EO sector for a while now and has a ton of insight into the most important problems in EO revolving around making satellite data usable for all. 

In this episode, Grega and I talk about his company, about Sentinel Hub, the importance of solving the boring problems, about EO Browser, thoughts on some buzzwords in EO, the state of the sector and more.
