00:00Zwei junge Genies aus Polen und Finnland
00:03haben das beste Satellitensystem der Welt gebaut.
00:07Aus 600 Kilometern Höhe beobachten Radaraugen
00:11durch dichte Wolkendecken
00:12und mitten in der Nacht wirklich alles.
00:15Ölkatastrophen, Waldbrände, Überschwemmungen,
00:18auch Militärgerät und verdächtige Schiffsbewegungen.
00:21Weltmeister der Erdbeobachtung.
00:23Made in Europe.
00:30Ein finnischer Sumpf in einem Außenbezirk von Helsinki.
00:35Hier liegt die Zentrale von IceEye.
00:37Das Start-up produziert Schwärme aus Mini-Satelliten
00:41und ist Weltmarktführer.
00:43Radartechniker Andrea aus Italien
00:45zeigt seinem türkischen Kollegen Burak
00:47und der Laborantin Kriti aus Nepal den Testraum.
00:50Der neue Satellit ist streng geheim.
00:53Filmen verboten.
01:00Wow, great stuff!
01:02This looks amazing!
01:04It's a radar satellite?
01:05A radar?
01:06So it looks through the clouds during night?
01:09Precisely.
01:10But this satellite is much smaller
01:12than what's traditionally been available.
01:15This is about 200 kilos.
01:17Being small,
01:18it still has high performance,
01:21less in cost.
01:23And that means you can have a fleet of them.
01:26You can have four, five, ten,
01:28rather than just one.
01:29So it's not just one satellite,
01:31but it's a constellation of satellites?
01:33Exactly.
01:33And that's what IceEye has.
01:35We have the world's largest constellation of these satellites.
01:38What they can see down there on Earth?
01:41So the highest resolution that we currently offer
01:43is 25 centimeter.
01:45So they are up there 600 kilometers
01:47and they can see objects just this size?
01:51Yeah, exactly.
01:52We are going to move that to 16 centimeter
01:54and it's going to keep going even further.
01:56We can deliver images within two or three hours
02:00and we're going to push that down to sub 10 minutes.
02:02What's the number actually of satellites
02:04you have up there right now?
02:06We've launched 70 today.
02:09We are currently producing 25 per year
02:13and we'll be moving to 50 per year.
02:16One satellite each week.
02:18That's amazing.
02:31IceEye.
02:32IceEye wurde 2014 gegründet.
02:34Startkapital gab es von der Europäischen Union.
02:37Das Unternehmen hat Ableger in Polen, Spanien,
02:39Deutschland und Griechenland
02:40und beschäftigt 1000 Menschen aus 70 Ländern.
02:44Im vergangenen Jahr machte IceEye
02:46einen Umsatz von 250 Millionen Euro.
02:49Pekka Laudila ist einer der Gründer.
02:51Hi, Pekka.
02:52Hey.
02:52Nice to meet you.
02:54Good to meet you.
02:54Come on in.
02:55Yeah, great.
02:56I'm curious to learn about your experience.
02:58Sure.
02:59How did it start, once upon a time?
03:03Well, we were in this university here,
03:06in Aalto University.
03:07The story of IceEye, of course,
03:09is in the very extreme
03:11that we did set out to do this,
03:13this, you know, imaging radar sensor
03:15in microsatellite scale,
03:16which had never been done in the world.
03:19Which, again, for, you know,
03:21us being a couple, 24-year-old students,
03:25you know, was ambitious stretch.
03:26Made in Europe,
03:28can we still compete on a global level?
03:31Deep tech, research-based companies.
03:34There's a lot that Europe has,
03:36you know, a very, very strong background there.
03:38I think it's always been
03:40a little bit of a challenge
03:41to grow those companies
03:43as fast and as aggressively
03:45as, you know, you might in US
03:47or you might in China.
03:49When it comes to European Union,
03:51what is your direct advice to Brussels?
03:53Go for bold plans rather now
03:55than in 10 years.
03:57Europe actually does have resources,
03:59but being able to put them
04:02in specific programs
04:04with the ambition
04:05that you actually try to be
04:06the world's best.
04:07You know, be serious about it.
04:09Gleich um die Ecke liegt Aalto,
04:11die beste Universität Finnlands.
04:1314.000 junge Menschen
04:15aus aller Welt studieren hier.
04:17Mit seinem Nanosatellitenprogramm
04:19hat Professor Jan Prax
04:20weltweit für Schlagzeilen gesorgt.
04:23Nice to meet you.
04:24Glad to meet you.
04:25So let's go to that.
04:26Yeah, I'm curious to learn.
04:27Looking forward for it.
04:29Our goal was to build
04:31the first satellite for the nation
04:33and this really great goal
04:36attracted exceptional students.
04:38We were building successfully
04:39the first satellite for Finland
04:41and these very successful
04:43and talented students
04:44were going much further
04:45and creating many other success stories
04:48later on.
04:49And we are still successfully
04:51spinning out companies
04:53on technology and space technology.
04:55Our latest startup company
04:57started just a few weeks ago.
04:59We have very long living funding programs
05:02for the very beginning
05:04of the innovation chain.
05:07170 Firmen logieren auf dem Campus.
05:10Aus Forschern werden Jungunternehmer.
05:1230 Milliarden Euro,
05:13das ist der Wert
05:14der von Aalto-Studenten
05:15gegründeten Unternehmen.
05:1715.000 Arbeitsplätze wurden so geschaffen.
05:19Made by Aalto.
05:21Doktorand Marius aus Deutschland
05:22bewirbt sich gerade bei IceEye.
05:26What we are doing at Aalto
05:27is we are building the satellite for the world
05:29from scratch.
05:30And then we fly them into space.
05:32As a student or as a worker here,
05:35you are experiencing the real stuff.
05:38And of course this makes a different attitude
05:40towards building a company,
05:43building a startup
05:44or actually knowing what you are doing.
05:46Right?
05:48Egal ob Kapital gebraucht wird
05:50für Studenten-Startups
05:51oder Kontakte in die Geschäftswelt,
05:53der Vizepräsident von Aalto
05:55hat direkte Telefonnummern
05:56von Top-Managern
05:57in ganz Europa.
05:59European Universities around.
06:02What they can learn from you?
06:04What can they learn from Finland?
06:06We are coaching our teams in the way
06:08that they get feedback from customers, stakeholders.
06:15So we start from day one
06:16that we get customers in the boat
06:18in the very first minute.
06:19One very important thing is the culture
06:22and the trust.
06:23and the third factor
06:26is the low hierarchy.
06:28Astrophysikerin Shae Strong
06:29leitet die Datenauswertung bei IceEye.
06:32Die Superbilder aus dem All
06:34helfen bei der militärischen Fernaufklärung,
06:36aber auch beim Katastrophenmanagement.
06:38Wo brennt es?
06:39Welche Gebiete wurden überschwemmt?
06:41Wo wird der Urwald abgeholzt?
06:42IceEye hat den Überblick.
06:44What was the feeling when you saw
06:46the first picture from your new satellite coming in?
06:50Oh, it's always pretty exciting.
06:52It's like a quiet revolution.
06:54It almost becomes like an infrastructure
06:56of like you have this amazing, beautiful access
06:59to all this information quite frequently.
07:02So we can really impact people
07:05when it comes to disaster recovery
07:08or, you know, border security.
07:12Is the work that we're doing at IceEye
07:15useful for humanity?
07:16And I would say yes.
07:17We're not generating, you know,
07:20pictures or information or data
07:22just for consumer goods, for instance.
07:26But we are actually capturing
07:28what is happening on Earth.
07:29The drive for me is devoting my time
07:32in a way that's hopefully making the world
07:35ultimately a better place through data.
07:37So with this information,
07:39we can make better decisions for Europe
07:43as we navigate through this changing environment,
07:46this changing world.
07:47So with this information,
07:48So with this information,
07:52So with this information,
07:54So with this information,
07:57So with this information,
08:00So with this information,
08:00So with this information,
