ICEYE partners with Munich Re unit to expand access to nat cat intelligence
ICEYE, a global leader in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite data and natural catastrophe solutions, has entered into a new strategic global partnership with Risk Management Partners, a Munich Re unit that draws on the group’s reinsurance expertise to deliver advanced climate risk insights through its Location Risk Intelligence platform.
Through the collaboration, ICEYE’s flood solutions will be integrated into the Location Risk Intelligence platform, enhancing its real-time flood risk analysis and reporting capabilities before, during, and after events.
Beginning in January 2026, ICEYE’s Flood Archive and Flood Early Warning solutions will also be accessible through the platform’s Events feature.
“Access to ICEYE’s cutting-edge data via a market-leading risk management platform enables insurers, banks, real estate managers, and corporations worldwide to better assess and quantify flood impact, and supports faster, data-driven decision-making,” the firm explained.
ICEYE continued, “The Events feature enables users to monitor historical and ongoing events, using a combination of public domain information and vendor data.
“ICEYE will be the first commercial provider to supply precise event data to the Munich Re platform, giving customers immediate access to severity forecasts and reliable, rapidly delivered measurements of flood hazard extent and depth.
“Additional ICEYE products — including Flood Insights, Flood Rapid Impact, Hurricane Rapid Impact, and Wildfire Insights — will be made available for resale by Munich Re to its customers globally.”
Sielker, Head of Re/Insurance Practice at ICEYE, commented, “At ICEYE, innovation is at the heart of what we do. Integrating our flood intelligence into Location Risk Intelligence, Munich Re’s powerful analytics platform, represents a major step forward in how leading-edge data and technology can be combined to enable insurers and businesses to better understand and manage the rapidly evolving flood risk landscape.”
Christof Reinert, Head of Risk Management Partners at Munich Re, said, “Natural catastrophes are becoming more frequent and severe. Businesses need scalable solutions to manage these risks before, during, and after disaster events strike.
“By integrating ICEYE into the platform, we provide even more comprehensive insights into natural risk disaster exposure. The flood event data is a substantial feature that can even improve our Location Risk Intelligence offering.
“This gives our customers a decisive advantage, enabling active risk management to safeguard investments and operations, while also strengthening resilience.”
With these additions, ICEYE has now launched a total of 62 satellites for itself and its customers since 2018, including 22 so far in 2025.
The firm also recently secured €150 million in new funding and a €50 million secondary placement, led by General Catalyst with broad pan-European participation, valuing the company at €2.4 billion ($2.8 billion).
