EDMONTON, CANADA AND FRUTILLAR, CHILE – Wyvern, a leader in hyperspectral satellite imaging for Earth observation, and Lemu, a pioneering NatureTech startup leveraging cutting-edge technology to provide environmental data solutions, have signed a strategic collaboration agreement to enhance commercial access to hyperspectral imagery across multiple industries.
By combining the strengths of Wyvern’s Dragonette satellite constellation —providing the highest-resolution commercial hyperspectral imagery from space— and Lemu’s own Lemu Nge hyperspectral satellite —the world’s first exclusively dedicated to biodiversity observation— this collaboration is set to support companies in the mining, energy, agriculture, forestry, and environmental management sectors in their efforts to monitor, assess and manage natural resources more effectively, while also helping to bridge the existing nature data gap for the Southern Hemisphere.

“This partnership with Lemu expands Wyvern’s global footprint by aligning with a company that shares our mission: Creating a better Earth, from Space,” said Tom VanMatre, Chief Revenue Officer at Wyvern. “The demand for hyperspectral imagery far outweighs the supply, and the more organizations that understand and use this technology, the better. By working together, Wyvern and Lemu are making hyperspectral data more accessible and valuable across industries, helping businesses and governments make more informed decisions about our planet.”
“This collaboration with Wyvern is the perfect reflection of Lemu’s profound belief in collective intelligence, because as we always say at Lemu, nobody achieves anything alone,” said Leo Prieto, Lemu’s founder and CEO. “Together, we will unlock new possibilities to make nature visible in every decision, delivering greater access to critical environmental data and helping businesses across multiple sectors understand their operation’s impact and dependence on nature.”
Both companies will also explore synergies for product development opportunities to keep delivering advanced Earth observation solutions and collaborate on joint applications for grants, contracts, and projects to strengthen their remote sensing technologies and services.
Wyvern and Lemu are committed to fostering a long-term partnership that pushes the boundaries of Earth observation while supporting commercial industries in their efforts to understand their impact and dependencies on nature, contributing to securing healthy ecosystems through nature-based solutions, and studying and protecting the natural world.
