ICEYE will provide crucial real-time flood data in addition to potential fire monitoring

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ICEYE, the global leader in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite data, and EMIS, a provider of geospatial information systems in Slovakia, today announced a strategic partnership to expand access to critical, near real-time hazard information for Slovak authorities.

ICEYE and EMIS announce partnership to provide a missing flood data layer to Slovakia’s national, near real-time monitoring platform.

Through this collaboration, ICEYE's satellite-derived flood intelligence will be seamlessly integrated into EMIS's GIS platform, the country's trusted central geospatial hub used nationwide. This partnership represents a significant step in ICEYE's involvement in the Eastern European marketplace, enabling Slovak authorities to access unique ICEYE Flood Insights within hours of an event, directly within their existing workflows.

Key Benefits of the ICEYE–EMIS Partnership:

  • Faster Disaster Response: ICEYE's SAR satellite constellation provides continuous, all-weather, day-and-night monitoring, closing a critical data gap and allowing authorities to track floods and fires within hours rather than days.

  • Seamless Integration: Authorities can access ICEYE's insights directly through EMIS's GIS platform, which is already compliant with national technology standards, eliminating the need for new systems or training.

  • Direct Benefits to Ministries and Municipalities: From the Ministry of Interior's disaster response management to the Ministry of Defence, Transport, and the National Centre of Forests, decision-makers will gain timely intelligence to protect communities, plan resilient infrastructure, and safeguard resources.

  • Competitive Advantage for Slovakia: With this partnership, Slovakia becomes one of the first countries in Eastern Europe to leverage SAR-based hazard intelligence at national scale.

"By integrating ICEYE's unique satellite capabilities into EMIS's state-of-the-art user experience and customer support ecosystem, we fill a critical gap in the ability of Slovak authorities to respond rapidly and effectively to natural hazards," said Jeffrey Apeldoorn, Head of Government Solutions, Europe at ICEYE. "This partnership ensures that decision-makers have access to always-on monitoring when they need it most, supporting stronger resilience across the country."

"We look forward to partnering with ICEYE to deliver world-class monitoring solutions to Slovakia," said Miroslav Vanek, CEO at EMIS. "Our platform already serves as the central hub for geospatial data across the country. Integrating ICEYE's rapid hazard intelligence significantly expands the insights and value we bring to our users and partners."
