As 2024 wraps up, I can’t help but feel inspired by everything we’ve achieved at Birdi this year. From the progress we’ve made as a team to the growing momentum in earth observation, it’s been a year full of milestones. More than ever, we’re seeing how powerful diverse aerial datasets can be in driving smarter, more informed decisions across industries.
It’s been a real privilege to strengthen relationships with clients like Boral and Mirvac while also welcoming incredible new partners like Corporate Carbon and iEDM. These collaborations remind me why we do what we do—delivering not just high-quality data, but the insights that truly make a difference. Whether it’s volumetric reports, asset assessments, or biomass calculations, the value Birdi brings continues to grow.
One of the highlights for me has been seeing the Birdi platform evolve. It now seamlessly brings together geospatial data from so many sources—satellite imagery from NASA, JAXA, and ESA, alongside customer-provided datasets like project plans and design files. This ability to integrate and analyze all these inputs is helping businesses unlock sharper, more actionable insights. I’m especially excited that many of these features will roll out to all platform users in early 2025. Keep an eye out!
Beyond Birdi, I’ve had the chance to see the impact of earth observation on a national scale through my work as President of Earth Observation Australia. The need for earth observation data is growing rapidly worldwide, and we’re in an incredible position to collaborate, innovate, and strengthen its role in decision-making for both businesses and governments.
Looking to 2025, I’m feeling more optimistic than ever. The potential for earth observation data is massive, and Birdi is well-positioned to keep playing a leading role in shaping how it’s used.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the amazing Birdi team. Their dedication, talent, and commitment to helping our customers succeed have been at the heart of everything we’ve achieved this year. I couldn’t be prouder to work alongside them.
To all our customers, partners, and supporters: thank you for being part of our journey in 2024. Here’s to an even bigger, bolder, and more impactful 2025!
