Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily Earth data and insights, has announced an extension of its contract with the Taylor Geospatial Institute (TGI) through 2026. This collaboration represents Planet's most extensive direct engagement with a university consortium. The multi-year agreement enables TGI to utilize various industry-leading products from Planet, including PlanetScope data, a comprehensive data archive, high-resolution SkySat data, and multiple Planetary Variable analytic products.

Established in 2022, TGI is a pioneering entity in the geospatial field, aimed at fostering research, collaboration, and impactful solutions. It unites a consortium of eight prominent universities and research centers to enhance collaboration within the geospatial ecosystem, leveraging unique strengths, expertise, and shared resources to drive innovative research and solutions.

Planet's data access allows TGI researchers to address national security and global food security challenges and advance geospatial science, computation, and AI initiatives. Additionally, Planet's data supports TGI's mission to educate the next generation of geospatial professionals.

"Planet is proud to continue serving the Taylor Geospatial Institute with its powerful dataset, enabling industry leaders to accelerate critical research into a wide variety of research areas from climate change to human-environment impacts," said Will Marshall, CEO and co-founder of Planet. "Through this partnership, these world-class institutions can leverage cutting-edge technologies and Earth observation analytics to help advance our understanding of our planet."

"Planet was TGI's first commercial data partner and their data has paved the way to fueling the work of our researchers across the consortium, from research on arctic tundra ecosystem dynamics to remote sensing studies of soybean crop quality and yield," said Nadine Alameh, Ph.D., executive director of TGI. "I'm excited about extending this partnership as it's critical for our recently launched strategic initiatives on global food security and GeoAI; and our commitment to accelerating the commercialization of mature research results in partnership with industry."
