Aspia Space Partners with Stelia to Revolutionize Global Land Intelligence with Advanced AI Architecture
Aspia Space has announced a strategic technology partnership with Stelia, an applied AI platform company, to advance the AI architecture powering its Earth Observation-derived data products. The collaboration aims to transform raw satellite data into trusted, decision-ready land intelligence at scale, enabling faster, more reliable insights for industries including financial services, agriculture, supply chain management, and the public sector. Modern satellite constellations generate vast amounts of high-frequency, high-resolution data, yet many organizations still struggle to turn this information into actionable intelligence. The gap between data access and practical application persists due to challenges in compute capacity, AI system robustness, and data governance—issues that often result in delayed insights, fragmented analysis, and low confidence in geospatial intelligence across enterprises. By combining Aspia’s deep expertise in geospatial land intelligence with Stelia’s cutting-edge AI architecture, the partnership will deliver consistent performance, built-in compliance, and continuous innovation. The goal is to support real-time, scalable intelligence that empowers confident decision-making across global operations. Chris Roberts, Chief Technology Officer at Aspia, highlighted the transformative potential: “Until now, running reliable, trustworthy AI workloads on petabyte-scale Earth Observation datasets has been prohibitively expensive and slow. Stelia is redefining what’s technically possible—enabling us to develop and refine models at the speed and sustainability this market demands.” The timing of the partnership is critical. Integrating satellite data into operational workflows remains one of the most valuable yet complex opportunities across industries, with applications ranging from disaster risk and insurance assessment to crop and tree monitoring, supply chain optimization, and environmental impact analysis. Kevin Smith, CEO of Stelia, emphasized the strategic value of the collaboration: “We build AI systems designed for the most demanding, high-trust environments—purpose-built to accelerate product development, adapt to regulatory changes, and scale with demand. Partnering with Aspia allows us to apply this approach to one of the most important data frontiers: space, with a leader at the forefront of the industry.” Aspia’s ClearSky product, which reveals field-level variations, biomass trends, and crop health—even during cloudy growing seasons—serves as a foundation for this next phase of innovation. With Stelia’s support, Aspia is poised to launch a new generation of data-native, AI-enhanced space products capable of operating at global scale. The partnership also positions Stelia to play a leading role in shaping technical standards, regulatory frameworks, and responsible AI practices within the space and intelligence ecosystem. Stelia is an applied AI company advancing the future operating systems of AI. Its platforms serve as the trusted, governed backbone for production-grade AI, enabling enterprise deployment that is accountable, scalable, and reliable. Aspia Space transforms complex, dynamic Earth data into actionable insight for sectors dependent on land-based information, including agriculture, food security, forestry, supply chain, and public governance. Its suite of products, including ClearSky, delivers critical intelligence even in challenging environmental conditions.
