About AIRLOOK

AIRLOOK, officially known as Airlook Aviation Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., was established in September 2015 by founder Wang Yanze. The company operates as a high-precision spatial data service provider, focusing on the creation and application of 3D real-world maps. The founding team brought together experience from aerospace technology firms and prominent internet companies with a vision to digitally replicate the physical world.

The firm's business model revolves around creating an entire ecosystem for spatial data, covering acquisition, processing, distribution, and application. It has developed its own proprietary flight control systems, drones, and avionics, which gives it a significant operational advantage in data collection. Revenue is generated by providing these comprehensive 3D mapping and data services to a diverse client base that includes government bodies and corporations across various sectors. These sectors include smart cities, emergency management, public safety, environmental protection, cultural heritage, water conservation, energy, mining, and telecommunications.

AIRLOOK's core offering is its 'City Digital Twin PaaS Platform', which integrates AI, cloud computing, and real-time rendering to deliver sustainable and updatable 3D maps. A key product is AirlookMap, a platform that allows users to access and utilize city-level 3D map data. For developers, the company offers DataEarth, a cloud-based 3D GIS open platform for secondary development, and MapStudio, a low-code digital twin platform built on the Unreal Engine. The company also utilizes a supercomputing platform, DataMaker, which employs semantic structuring models to extract deeper meaning from spatial data. These platforms enable clients to perform intelligent analysis and visualization for applications like urban planning, resource management, and emergency response simulations. The company has received multiple rounds of funding from investors including Baidu Ventures, GGV Capital, and GF Securities.
