This is a business company.

Imagine that you deal with satellite imagery. Your company buy up-to-date photos from specialized companies and you work on them.

Well you could study all sorts of things from them:

How farms are expanding, for example. Can you tell what is the type of a crop, based on this high-altitude images? If so, can you estimate the yield of a certain crop for this season, and then bet on the prices?

This is meant to be done by image processing software.

You can study traffic patterns. Although I'm not sure exacly about how much information you could make from that that is convertible to cash, you could map regions of the city that are more wealthy, without setting a foot on the ground.

Finally, and this perhaps the most important idea, you can track a city during a few years and know what are the neighborhoods that are booming, expanding. You would use this information to guide real-estate investments.
