SPACE42 · SMART SOLUTIONS

Sovereign geospatial intelligence.

Cartos is Space42's vertical-AI geospatial platform. It runs live operations on data you own, reasons about change and builds in 3D, and reaches the ground through a sovereign mobile field edge — one platform, top-down and bottom-up.

The arc

One platform, built in three phases.

Each phase stands on its own and compounds the last — a sovereign substrate, an analyst that reasons, and a field workforce that feeds it ground truth.

Phase I

The Sovereign Platform

Ingest, serve, and visualize geospatial data in a sovereign deployment, with an AI agent wired in. Running live vertical operations today.

Phase II

Analyst Intelligence Layer

Change detection, derived data, 3D reconstruction, and auditable reporting — the substrate starts producing intelligence, not just showing it.

Phase III

Cartos Field

A configurable, offline-first mobile field platform — the sovereign ground-truth edge that feeds the whole loop and multiplies seats.

The vision

From a platform to a public good.

Cartos is the system that lets nations stand up sovereign geospatial capability without building it from scratch — the foundation under initiatives like Map Africa and the UAE Base Map, with Space42 as the central partner ingesting the data and delivering where it's needed most.

Continental

Map Africa

An even footing for every African nation to use space data to improve living conditions, sustainability, settlement management, and crop yield.

National

UAE Base Map

A high-quality geospatial foundation across all seven Emirates — better public services and greater government transparency.

Space42 at the center.

One sovereign partner to ingest the data and deliver results-based solutions where the need is greatest.

Field seats vs. analyst seats (Phase III)

Sovereign by design

Runs in-territory, on infrastructure you control. Sovereignty is the default, not an option.

An owned imagery source

Backed by Space42's own constellation — a data position competitors can't simply license into.

Agent-native & auditable

An AI analyst orchestrates the work, and every output traces back to how it was produced.

Why Cartos wins — the full case

Commercial model

Pay to get work done — not just to look.

Five pricing pillars meet customers where they are, from a free first look to a sovereign, cost-plus deployment.

Free

A try-it surface that shows the whole loop on a sample area.

Credit

Per-run consumption for compute-heavy analysis, 3D, and capture.

Modular

Switch capabilities on per account — buy what you need.

Subscription

Recurring monitoring, field seats, and a retained intelligence graph.

Cost-Plus

Sovereign and bespoke deployments, priced on delivered cost.

Design partner program

Help shape the platform for your geography.

We're selecting a small number of design partners with a real, recurring geospatial need and sovereignty as a genuine constraint. Early access, roadmap influence, and auditable deliverables for your stakeholders. Engagements run under NDA.
