Planet Selected for 7-Figure Deal with Czech Government for AI-Powered Agriculture Monitoring

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Planet Labs Germany, a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced Planet's subsidiary Sinergise Solutions d.o.o. has signed a 2-year, 7-figure contract to provide satellite imagery and AI-powered analytics to the State Agricultural Intervention Fund (SZIF) of the Czech Republic. This deal will support the country-wide agricultural payments and monitoring system.

By integrating Planet’s high-frequency satellite data with AI analytics in partnership with Asseco Group, SZIF users can streamline and enhance the efficiency of claim validation processes, serving approximately 25,000 agricultural holdings across the Czech Republic. This automated approach allows for near-continuous monitoring of agricultural land, ensuring that activities such as crop type identification and harvest timing are verified accurately and transparently.

“Integrating Planet’s daily satellite data into our administrative processes is a critical step in our digital transformation,” said Director General, Ing. Petr Dlouhý, MBA at SZIF. “The ability to receive consistent, high-quality data across the entire country allows us to provide more reliable services to our farmers while ensuring the highest level of integrity in our validation workflows. Working with Planet and Asseco ensures we have the advanced analytics needed to manage our resources sustainably and effectively.”

With Planet’s unique global scan and deep archive, civil government agencies can independently verify land changes and agricultural health at scale.

“Our work with the Czech government centers on modernizing agricultural oversight through our daily monitoring capabilities and platform,” said Diego Vanelli, Director of Government Sales in EMEA at Planet. “By shifting from manual, reactive inspections to proactive, AI-enabled agricultural monitoring and reporting, SZIF is establishing a new standard for operational efficiency. This contract reinforces Planet’s role as a reliable partner for European national payment agencies in agriculture as they navigate complex regulatory requirements.”

The addition of the Czech Republic expands Planet’s growing footprint of supporting several European governments in ensuring Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and other compliance. Planet’s data model allows multiple agencies to leverage a single daily scan of the entire country to generate localized, actionable insights in near real-time.
