Latitudo 40 shapes the future of geospatial analysis through AI agents at ESA Acceleration Days

Discover how Naples-based Latitudo 40 is designing the future of EO and space data by integrating generative AI and Large Language Models by developing a fully functioning AI agent with the purpose to make geospatial insights open to the wider public.

Latitudo 40 is redefining the future of climate innovation through space. At the European Space Agency’s Acceleration Days in Brussels, the Italian geospatial intelligence company unveiled a groundbreaking AI-powered solution that combines satellite Earth Observation, Large Language Models, and Generative AI to make climate mitigation strategies more accessible, actionable, and impactful for cities, institutions, and businesses.

Latitudo 40, Italian company expert in providing Earth Observation solutions for ESG strategies and decisions, unveiled its new revolutionary product during the European Space Agency’s Acceleration Days.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is the main institution in Europe dedicated to the peaceful exploration and use of space for the benefit of humankind. Through its Acceleration Days, ESA promotes immersive multi-day innovation sprints where industry leaders in the space economy challenge themselves and share expertise to design new solutions that leverage space data and technologies.

For the 5-day innovation sprint hosted in Brussels from September 8th, 2025, to September 12th, 2025, the main goal was to accelerate the green transition for smart cities by unlocking the power of Large Language Models (LLM): advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems trained on vast amounts of text to understand, generate, and process human language.

In this scenario, Latitudo 40 stood out by delivering a fully functioning prototype of its brand-new AI Agent: a conversational chatbot programmed to understand human language and provide actionable geospatial insights without wrestling with complex actions, but just with intuitive, spontaneous conversations. This new technology acts as a true digital assistant for geospatial analysis, combining the power of Earth Observation, Large Language Models, and Generative AI.

The implications of this development are fundamental to making communities and institutions move toward a more sustainable dimension of innovation and growth. Thanks to the new AI agent, for example, urban planners can program climate mitigation interventions with just a simple ask-and-answer exchange. Or, in another scenario, corporate executives with limited expertise in geospatial data can better understand and manage ESG-oriented decisions and strategies, just by chatting.

This achievement — made possible only by Latitudo 40’s blend of high-level expertise, relentless passion, and unstoppable teamwork — is set to be a game-changer for sustainable and resilient economic development.

In the words of Gaetano Volpe, CEO at Latitudo 40, “Our team is creating powerful, customized assets for urban planners, city officers, and real estate developers, helping them make the most of satellite data in ways we’ve never seen before. This is the future of sustainable urban planning!”

An incredible achievement that is not only beneficial to the company itself, but for the whole Campania region. “I firmly believe this is the kind of innovation that can position Campania on the world map as a leader in the geospatial and downstream industries,” outlines Mr. Volpe. “Campania has the potential to be a hub for breakthrough solutions like this, driving sustainable climate resilience and making a real impact globally.”

As the prototyping phase of the new product successfully closed during ESA Acceleration Days, the product is now on its roadmap to reach the wider public for official release on Earth Data Insights, Latitudo 40’s soon-to-be-launched Geospatial Intelligence platform.
A Software as a Service (SaaS) based platform which, through the use of satellite imagery, data, and highly performant AI algorithms, provides climate change monitoring on relevant variables and actionable insights for future environmental interventions, estimating the impact of future “what if” scenarios.

“It’s not just about analyzing historical data; it’s about leveraging Earth Data Insights’ simulation tools to model and evaluate the best possible solutions, both economically and environmentally,” adds Mr. Volpe, before concluding with a hopeful wish: “We are designing the best tools to accelerate the green transition. Let’s shape a more sustainable future together!”
