Audrey, Taiwan is a very important market for Planet in Asia-Pacific. I think this is the first step to being able to move in that direction, so I appreciate your time today.

Okay, perfect.

Awesome. I’ll have a little bit more of a look at this when I have some time tomorrow, Audrey, but if that provides us with the ability to get more exposure across a variety of different people and be able to demonstrate proof points as to how we can do ...

I understand.

I had a quick look at the website and the video. What’s the timing of the hackathon for this year, Audrey?

And Audrey, when it comes to… We can certainly have a conversation around the resiliency-type of capabilities within the Planet constellations. It’s one of the core tenants as to how we actually build and operate our constellations and how that helps in terms of with distributed access to imagery outside ...

I was just going to say, Audrey, when we look at broad-based use across multiple agencies within government, this is where we start to explore when does it make sense for looking at things like a whole of government license to Planet, so that we don’t start to deal with ...

Space agencies in general, we’re having those conversations with multiple different agencies in other different countries across Asia. So, that is a very common vehicle to have conversations around collaboration when it looks at the sustainability agenda

I’m not aware of that. I’m sure we’ve had outreach and conversations previously, Audrey. I’ll have to go back and just sort of double check the context around those, then I can provide you an update as to the current level of discussion with TASA.

So, there’s a number of programs that we can follow up and have conversations with you around.

There’s also what we refer to as a tech startup program. So, how can we look at tech startups within Taiwan that are interested in working within the earth observation market, and how do we work with them to be able to give them early access to data to be ...

Hm. I’ll have to go and just double check in terms of the university footprint. But Audrey, there’s a number of programs that I think that Will’s referring to. One we refer to is the education research program. So, how do we get people access to Planet data to be ...

So, there is a range of different use cases that we have for civil government outside of the defense and intelligence piece. And then obviously on the pollution side of the house, there are also some new capabilities that we’re looking to bring to market which is our hyperspectral capability ...

I’m not, Will, but I’ll certainly look into this sustainability issue. I mean, we have, independent of whether we’re talking about things in a pollution sort of context… Like we do a bunch of stuff with civil government around what we’d refer to as things like a permit and code ...

So, I think it’s worthwhile looking at the business relationship we already have, and then how we can potentially leverage that and extend that to your needs as well.

And we can also talk about the existing business that we do within Taiwan as well, Audrey, specifically within the intelligence community.

So, we can walk through those specific examples as to how we do it, what the advantage is from a Planet capability perspective, and then we can also talk to those proof points or situations in terms of where we have customers that are already using us and the value ...

So, Audrey, on that basis, I can take the lead around follow-up conversations. We have a team that already is involved and engaged within the Taiwan market, so we can certainly schedule a follow-up conversation and go more into depth around the topics that we’ve discussed with Will on the ...

So, if you think about like sort of operational, situational awareness capabilities, it’s the combination between what we do on the monitoring side and what we do in terms of on the tasking side that provides a bit of an advantage from a Planet perspective.

And Dr Chiueh, just on that piece… It’s the combination of satellite technology that provides an advantage from a Planet perspective, so when Will talked about the monitoring or our Dove satellites that basically provide imaging of the earth every day, it will identify locations that you’re potentially not looking ...

Sure. Will, I’ll let you kick off that conversation.

Yeah, the audio is still not fantastic, Will.

Will, I gave a brief introduction earlier, so…

So, my name is Ben Allard. I head up the Planet’s business for Asia Pacific in Japan, and so Taiwan is obviously part of my geo responsibilities. I’m looking forward to the conversation today and obviously future conversations as well.

So, Audrey, maybe just quick introductions before Will joins. I know you’ve met and interacted with Will previously.

Yup. I can hear just fine.

So, we’re just waiting for Will to join. Hopefully he should be on in a few minutes.
