SSC invests in UK analytics business
It is about collecting and analyzing data from satellite images, which can play a critical role in monitoring and assessing the impact of corporate activities almost anywhere in the world.
Global Trust will focus on supporting public policy and corporate social responsibility imperatives that are aligned with societies´ expectations and working towards a better and more sustainable planet. It aims to adress some of the most crucial environmental and social issues of the time.
This initiative is being led by SSC and is supported by the UK’s Satellite Applications Catapult – a government established not-for-profit company with its core mandate focused on promoting and enabling industrial growth in the space sector.
- We believe that Global Trust has emerged right at the critical point when technology, corporate need and societal expectations have collided, and there is now a strong appetite to make positive changes. Therefore, an opportunity for an independent and trusted entity to serve this demand exists, says Global Trusts CEO, Dr Richard Hilton.
In Sweden the initiative is a collaboration with Luleå University of Technology and the consultancy firm AFRY, and is supported by Region Norrbotten, Kiruna and Luleå communities as well as Sparbanken Nord and Längmanska Företagsfonden.
Global Trust will begin trading in December 2020 from its UK office, with a Swedish office opening in 2021. Further development is planned as a collaborative effort between the UK and Swedish entities.
