Nearmap, founded in 2007 in Perth, captures high-resolution aerial imagery across the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, combining it with 3D models and AI predictions for insurance, government and engineering.
Nearmap is a location intelligence company founded in 2007 in Perth, Australia. It captures high-resolution aerial imagery of urban areas and combines it with 3D modelling and AI-based predictions, delivering the results to customers through a software platform. Urban areas across the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are photographed several times a year, allowing organisations to monitor changes to the built and natural environment over time.
The company is vertically integrated: it designs and owns its proprietary camera systems, the image-processing pipelines that turn raw capture into usable data, and the software that delivers it. Its products include an aerial imagery platform, 3D models derived from aerial capture for change detection and analysis, and AI predictions built on the imagery - among them roof condition assessment, vegetation growth monitoring and disaster response support.
Nearmap's customers work in insurance, government and the public sector, engineering, disaster response and emergency management, and vegetation and environmental management. The company has grown from a small startup in Perth into a global operation spanning four countries, and describes its mission as being its customers' source of truth about the physical world.
