Sinergise (Sentinel Hub): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Sinergise is a Slovenian company based in Ljubljana behind Sentinel Hub, a service that makes satellite data from the Sentinel missions, Landsat and other providers accessible for browsing and analysis. This works in its cloud GIS or in the user's own environment. Features include full-resolution web preview, time-lapse, time-series statistics, area and point analysis tools, script-based custom products, reprojected WMS services and APIs. The documentation is moving to docs.planet.com, and the service is offered on the Planet Insights Platform.

Planet Labs PBC, a US company, acquired the business assets of Sinergise, including Sentinel Hub, in 2023. The acquisition ran through Scorpius Labs d.o.o., a subsidiary of Planet Labs Germany GmbH. According to Sinergise, Planet now owns and operates Sentinel Hub. The operating entity is therefore in Slovenia while the ultimate parent is in the United States. For European organisations, that US ownership is the relevant CLOUD Act signal.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Sinergise (Sentinel Hub)

Sinergise (Sentinel Hub) is headquartered in SI and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in US. Foreign control undermines part of the certainty a European headquarters offers.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Sinergise (Sentinel Hub) scores best on data residency.

Sinergise (Sentinel Hub) is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Sinergise (Sentinel Hub) together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
