Trusted by global & local leaders
Our commitment to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals
A successful global transition to clean energy will require substantial investment into new technologies and infrastructure.
We offer a cost effective solution for renewable energy asset optimisation.
Global warming – which has now reached 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels – is mainly driven by anthropogenic emissions. To limit warming to below 1.5°C, countries have united in their commitment to transition to clean energy within fast-approaching targets.
The elimination of atmospheric CO2 caused by the burning of fossil fuels, can only be achieved through the effective management and efficient use of renewable energy resources. By relying on our SaaS based system, energy producers and traders around the world can position themselves competitively to deliver on their decarbonisation plans.

From Mountain Resorts to Transforming the Energy Industry.
We started offering alpine tourism destinations and ski resorts ways to improve their operations through space data. And it worked so well that we pivoted our solutions to solve a broader range of sustainability challenges faced by the energy industry: We now deploy our refined technology and solutions for companies to generate more value by optimizing renewable energy assets.
We are hungry, daring and ambitious. It shows in our track records from CERN, UCL, technology companies like Hewlett Packard and impact institutions like the United Nations. The combination of different disciplines like telecommunications engineering, geospatial technology and environmental science is key to how we innovate. We love to co-create, and it shows in how we work.
Today, we offer a game-changing ecosystem to help forward-thinking energy companies transition towards clean energy.
