In 2023, Planet signed a contract with IGAC to provide advanced access to SkySat tasking and daily monitoring with PlanetScope, thereby strengthening land-use planning and risk management throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>With the expansion of the contract, IGAC leverages a comprehensive ecosystem of Planet solutions, including the Planet Insights Platform for geospatial data analysis and management, SkySat Flexible Tasking, PlanetScope Monitoring, Planet Change Detection: Roads and Buildings, and the Education &amp; Research package, aimed at supporting government-led research initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By working in collaboration with IGAC and our partner Procalculo, we\u2019re excited to see how Planet\u2019s data is being used for nationwide disaster response, monitoring public policy compliance, and detecting changes through artificial intelligence across Colombia,&#8221; said <strong><\/strong><strong>Ashley Johnson<\/strong><strong>, Planet President and CFO<\/strong>. &#8220;By leveraging our platform and AI-powered analytics, IGAC will continue advancing near-daily broad area land management at scale.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With this expanded data access and collaboration with Procalculo, IGAC is strengthening its ability to enforce regulations, identify and monitor risks such as floods and landslides, and carry out land management efforts throughout Colombia. By integrating Planet\u2019s data into its government platform, the Observatorio de la Tierra y el Territorio (OTT), IGAC is able to efficiently support various organizations aiming to conduct AI-enabled change analysis, monitor infrastructure, support urban planning, and evaluate land-use over time, becoming a key input for informed decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Planet offers a unique combination of satellite data and analytical capabilities that we can integrate into our national management systems to provide decision-makers with up-to-date data and information that ensure reliable insights about the territory,&#8221; said <strong><\/strong><strong>Anderson Puentes Carvajal<\/strong><strong>, Director of the Direcci\u00f3n de Gesti\u00f3n de Informaci\u00f3n Geogr\u00e1fica at IGAC<\/strong>. &#8220;By leveraging Procalculo\u2019s expertise along with Planet\u2019s advanced data and analytical tools, we\u2019re making significant progress in change detection and the implementation of public policies at both national and local levels across the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"new-product-widget related-content-list my-3\">\n<h4 class=\"heading\">Related Links<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled mb-0\">\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-sm fa-angle-right text-primary\"><\/i>Planet Labs: Pioneering the Future of Earth Observation with Satellite Imagery and Analytics<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-sm fa-angle-right text-primary\"><\/i>Planet Labs Secures Four Awards for AI Solutions in the Defense and Intelligence Sector<\/li>\n<li><strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planet Labs, a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, announced a multi-year contract expansion with the Instituto Geogr\u00e1fico Agust\u00edn Codazzi (IGAC), in partnership with Planet geospatial intelligence partner Procalculo.
