Insights on a truly global scale: an interview with ICEYE CEO Rafał Modrzewski

The EIC Scaling Club Podcast interviewed Rafal Modrzewski, co-founder and CEO of ICEYE, a Finland-based micro-satellite manufacturer, at the recent OTB Ventures Summit in Poland.

Founded in 2014 and backed by the EIC along the way, ICEYE essentially provides persistent monitoring capabilities for any location on earth (even at night and when it's cloudy).

Owning the world’s largest synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation, the company enables objective, data-driven decisions for customers in sectors such as insurance, natural catastrophe response and recovery, security, maritime monitoring, and finance, among others.

The 'new space' scale-up has raised over $300 million in funding to date.
