## Overview

Skytek is a data analytics and earth observation platform for insurers and reinsurers, serving marine, property, aviation, energy, and agriculture lines. Founded in Dublin in 1997, the company originally built software for NASA and the European Space Agency before applying satellite imagery and AI analytics to commercial insurance risk.

The company delivers two primary insurance products: the Real World platform for portfolio-level risk aggregation and situational awareness, and Satellite Club, which provides underwriters with real-time earth observation data and vessel tracking analytics. Both tools are delivered as cloud-based SaaS and integrate satellite AIS, terrestrial sensor feeds, and AI-driven pattern recognition to support underwriting, accumulation monitoring, and post-event analysis.

Skytek serves marine hull, cargo, war risk, ports and terminals, property, cyber, aviation, and energy insurance buyers. Named customers include Aon, Beazley, Tokyo Marine, and Arcadian Risk Capital. The company operates from offices in Europe, the USA, and Bermuda, and maintains technology partnerships with the European Space Agency, Airbus, BAE Systems, and NASA.
