Description of the portfolio company
OroraTech is a Munich-based wildfire intelligence-as-a-service company leveraging thermal data from public and proprietary satellite systems for the prediction, detection and monitoring of wildfires. Their solution delivers real-time situational awareness and detects fires of any scale, day or night, ensuring timely action. Leveraging their constellation of proprietary nanosatellites, OroraTech enables the creation of a wildfire digital twin of the earth, allowing users to understand any wildfire event globally, 24/7, and simulate future fire behaviour with unprecedented accuracy.
Investment rationale
The increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires poses a significant threat to our planet, emitting billions of tons of C02 annually, driving biodiversity loss, and diminishing the overall resilience of our ecosystems while posing a significant threat to local communities. Through their ability to deliver real-time detection, monitoring, and predictive insights, OroraTech fills a critical gap in current wildfire management capabilities and with ten proprietary nano-satellites already in orbit, they have developed the world’s most comprehensive and scalable solution.
