The Company

Blue Planet vision derives from concepts developed by CNES, INRIA and Orange Labs

The company was founded in 2009 by Jean-Pierre Antikidis, former head of Space System Information at CNES and data management international expert, Jean Jacques Favier, former NASA STS78 Astronaut and Director of innovation at CNES, presently professor and Chair of Research Steering Committee at the International Space University.

The v-GLOBE concept is a third generation evolution of Blue planet activities that took place in 2018 , with specific focus on Big Data geocoded information commercialisation as required urgently by Artificial Intelligence/Defense massive needs.
