LiveEO is a Berlin-based Earth observation company founded in 2018 by alumni of Technische Universität Berlin, with CEO and co-founder Daniel Seidel leading the venture. The company uses AI-powered satellite data analysis to monitor critical infrastructure networks globally, delivering business-ready risk intelligence from space.
LiveEO's core product suite includes three specialised solutions. Treeline, launched in cooperation with Deutsche Bahn, provides AI-driven vegetation management for utilities and railways, helping prevent service disruptions, reduce outages, and mitigate wildfire risks. SurfaceScout monitors pipeline integrity by detecting ground deformation and third-party interference risks. The company also offers deforestation exposure monitoring for supply chain compliance under regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
A significant milestone is LiveEO's launch of its own satellite constellation, Twinspector, designed for large-area, high-resolution, three-dimensional observation of Earth's surface specifically optimised for infrastructure monitoring. This positions the company as a key European provider of commercial very-high-resolution 3D satellite imagery.
LiveEO's clients include Deutsche Bahn, E.DIS (an energy distribution company operating a 3,750-mile grid in Germany), and other major European energy utilities and global infrastructure operators. The company is venture capital-backed and employs over 100 staff across offices in Berlin, New York, London, and Daugavpils (Latvia).
For the smart city domain, LiveEO's capabilities in automated vegetation monitoring, land-use change detection, and infrastructure condition assessment have direct applications for urban green space management, construction site surveillance, grid resilience, and climate adaptation planning.
