IT services firm Accenture has made a strategic investment, via Accenture Ventures, in Pixxel, a startup specialising in cutting-edge earth imaging technology.
Based in Bengaluru with a presence in Los Angeles, Pixxel is building high resolution ‘hyperspectral’ imaging satellite constellation to offer industry AI (Artificial Intelligence) powered insights that discover, solve and predict climate issues at a fraction of the cost of traditional satellites, a statement said.
Pixxel’s satellites have the ability to capture images and reveal key data about the health of the planet. The company’s planned constellation of ‘hyperspectral’ satellites will reshape how businesses across agriculture, defence, mining, environmental, and other critical industries make decisions on a global level.
