Spanish deep tech startup GeoKinesia, in collaboration with Polish geospatial platform developer Orbify, has secured Eurostars funding to launch the Global Ground Monitoring Service (GGMS), a pioneering, fully automated, online ground deformation monitoring platform.
Ground deformations, such as landslides and subsidence, pose escalating risks globally due to climate change and increased natural resource exploitation. Existing monitoring solutions are costly, slow, and largely inaccessible to small and mid-sized organizations. GGMS addresses this with an AI-powered InSAR automation pipeline, offering real-time, on-demand deformation analysis at a fraction of the current cost.
The platform enables users to select an area of interest and receive high-precision deformation analysis, early warnings, and geotechnical interpretation via an intuitive web interface, within hours, not days. Predictive algorithms trained through Deep Learning assess evolving risks to infrastructure and terrain stability.
It is this breakthrough innovation that secured Eureka Eurostars funding, a grant of over €260,000, helping to bring the GGMS platform to market and scale its impact.
GeoKinesia leads the InSAR automation and predictive algorithm development, while Orbify contributes its expertise in remote sensing visualisation and platform integration. Together, they aim to democratize access to ground motion monitoring, supporting thousands of engineers, asset managers, and geotechnical professionals globally.
GGMS is set to disrupt the Earth Observation sector by offering the first-ever global, on-demand, AI-assisted InSAR service, unlocking significant commercial and societal value. The project also contributes to several UN Sustainable Development Goals, including sustainable infrastructure, climate adaptation, and risk reduction.
