Skytec, founded in 2015, is a leader in remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) technologies and provides the full spectrum of image and data capturing, with unmanned aerial systems (UAS), manned aircraft, and satellite imaging. The team delivers dynamic imaging and data science solutions, enabling companies to measure and optimize sustainability practices.

“I’ve spent most of my professional career in sustainability, and it’s exciting to see Skytec recognized for the work we’re doing in that realm,” says Andy Carroll, CTO of Skytec. “So many of our projects enable us to help businesses monitor and manage their environmental impact.”

From stream and wetland mitigation projects to its recent tornado impact index and ForestView, an application built for International Paper, Skytec provides services that enable clients to reach their objectives — and sustainability is often at the core of those goals.

“I’ve been genuinely excited that we can use these dynamic tools to preserve natural resources,” says Bill Rogers, CEO of Skytec. “We’re able to measure and gather data to help companies be more sustainable and chart the path forward in protecting our natural resources. Companies are increasingly interested in sustainable investments — there is a return on these initiatives.”
