ScanWorld was a Belgian company specializing in Earth observation, particularly in hyperspectral imagery for AgTech applications. Founded in 2020, it aimed to deliver scalable information and services for sustainable agriculture, forestry, and environmental monitoring using a constellation of small satellites. In April 2022, ScanWorld was acquired by ConstellR, a German company focused on thermal infrared monitoring, to create a comprehensive data service for digital farming. ScanWorld was partnering with SPACEBEL, major aerospace prime companies, EU institutions and the commercial market.
