about us

Geoserve B.V. is a private company based in Emmeloord, the Netherlands. Geoserve was established in 1997 as a spin-off company of the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Center (NLR).

Our core business has always been supplying satellite imagery. Geoserve is among others an authorized reseller for Airbus, European Space Imaging, SI Imaging Services and SpaceWill. Further Geoserve also resells Digital Elevation Models from RESTEC and Airbus.

Since the past 10 years, Geoserve has chosen to focus on “giving easy access to satellite data”. As a result we have grown the activities in satellite image processing and image portals. This enabled us to give new users also easy access to satellite imagery.

Geoserve processes satellite imagery for among others several Dutch Ministries and engineering firms (Arcadis, Haskoning).

Geoserve has a 5 person experienced staff with an engineering or ICT background. The shareholders of Geoserve are the Netherlands Aerospace Center (NLR) and part of the Geoserve staff.
