Our take
Climate change is creating urgent risks for industries like agriculture, where unpredictable weather patterns, drought, and flooding threaten food security, supply chains, and infrastructure. As the IPCC highlights, the window to mitigate the worst effects of climate change is closing fast, making climate adaptation crucial.
ClimateAi is tackling these challenges with its AI-powered platform, ClimateLens™, which uses machine learning and data from multiple sources to deliver weather and climate insights. By providing forecasts with a 1km range, the platform helps businesses anticipate climate risks and make data-driven decisions across areas like sourcing, supply chains, and risk management.
Since its Series A funding in 2021, the company has seen rapid growth, increasing its annual recurring revenue by five times and expanding its customer base fourfold. With big-name clients like Dole, Driscoll's, and The Nuveen Natural Capital, ClimateAi has established itself as a trusted partner and is on a strong, continued growth journey.
