OGOR develops a Field Monitoring App
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Bucharest, Romania
Industries: Agriculture
Innovate with OGOR for Crop Production Tracking
Romanian startup OGOR builds a field monitoring app based on satellite images. It enables farmers to track crops productivity and record the factors affecting crop production such as sowing and harvest dates. This lets the farmers compare the crop production on several fields and discover the most effective agricultural practices. The app also sends alerts about the areas needing the most attention, enabling users to take action at the earliest. Additionally, OGOR offers historical weather data and weekly weather forecasts to improve decision-making.
Glint Solar streamlines Energy Project Site Analysis
Founding Year: 2020
Location: Oslo, Norway
Funding: USD 1,2 M
Industries: Energy
Use Glint’s solution for Floating Photovoltaic (PV) Installation
Glint Solar is a Norwegian startup that develops a SaaS tool for floating photovoltaics (PV) installation. The software utilizes satellite data and machine learning to scan large regions and identify viable water bodies. For regional scans, the tool allows the users to filter sites based on lake area, specific yield, distance to the grid, and installed capacity potential. Nearshore scans identify the most attractive nearshore floating solar sites based on various parameters. Remote site analysis enables energy companies to gain early insights and de-risk solar projects.
4pi Lab provides Early Wildfire Detection
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Calgary, Canada
Funding: USD 129 000
Industries: Forestry, Disaster Management
Reach out to 4pi Lab for Wildfire Management
Canadian startup 4pi Lab enables early wildfire detection with a constellation of 16 satellites orbiting at 600 kilometers above the earth. The satellite’s cameras identify wildfires as small as five to ten meters in diameter and provide global coverage every four to six hours. Moreover, geo-location targeting locates wildfires within 10 meters of accuracy. Real-time wildfire data allows concerned authorities to actively suppress a potentially catastrophic wildfire, preventing property loss and greenhouse gas emissions.
Arms4AI advances AI-led Georeferencing
Founding Year: 2019
Location: New Delhi, India
Industries: Defense, Agriculture, Smart City
Partner with Arms4AI for Object Identification & Change Detection
Arms4AI is an Indian startup that designs AI-led georeferencing solutions. It detects objects from satellite image data using a neural network for application in infrastructure, defense, retail, and agriculture industries. For instance, it allows urban planners to compile and cross-filter data from various sources to see how crime, public health, education, and real estate outcomes vary by location. Additionally, Arms4AI develops an algorithm specifically for binary and multi-class change detection. It creates maps that separate changed areas from unchanged ones. This is useful for crop monitoring, land use, and land cover monitoring, as well as tracking environmental and humanitarian crises.
SitePlan facilitates Digital Navigation
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Wels, Austria
Industries: Construction
Collaborate with SitePlan for Construction Project Planning
Austrian startup SitePlan provides a global positioning system (GPS)-based digital navigation app. The app allows construction teams to convert their paper or PDF plans into interactive digital GPS maps. The localization of plan objects such as existing cable lines prevents their damage during excavation work. Additionally, the app automatically locates the geo-positions of construction site photos on the plans and the map. This information is accessible by the teams in real-time, leading to efficient construction documentation and smooth project execution.
