PCI Geomatics (DBA CATALYST), a leading Earth Observation company with over 40 years of experience supporting major players in the space sector, has chosen Scotland’s thriving space ecosystem as part of its continued global expansion.
PCI delivers advanced Earth observation image processing solutions and transforms spaceborne sensor data into actionable climate-related intelligence. PCI is focused on supporting critical risk mitigation efforts such as detecting and monitoring critical infrastructure for ground displacement, monitoring “corridor” industries for vegetation encroachment, identifying soil moisture conditions to help prevent catastrophic failures such as landslides with greater accuracy and frequency than traditional methods. PCI’s business aligns strongly with Scotland’s growing reputation in space-enabled applications which is supported by a vibrant ecosystem of more than 30 companies dedicated to observing and protecting Earth from space.
PCI recently opened an office at the Future’s Institute in Edinburgh, marking a significant step in its UK expansion alongside its existing presence at the Harwell Space Cluster in England. The company is recruiting for multiple roles in Scotland and across the UK, signalling its commitment to the region. Speaking on the company’s growing Scottish presence, President and CEO June McAlarey stated: “Scotland’s rising profile in the global space economy has been unmistakable. When exploring locations to complement our Canadian headquarters, the UK quickly stood out as a strategic gateway to Europe and the Middle East. We now have a growing team across the UK and are excited to expand our Scottish office in the coming weeks.”
