Greening the Worlds 10,000 cities - underpinned with near real-time environmental satellite data. 

Our Mission

Our cities are some of the the most at risk when it comes to climate change. By making easily accessible urban greening data we can build in climate resilience, and ensure we create healthy vibrant communities adaptable to weather shocks.

Building the climate resilient cities of the future.

Land Surface Temperature Mapping

About Us

Prompted to act on climate change; we came together to ensure people living in cities have access to nature. To help them easily understand the status of their 'Green Infrastructure' for making ongoing built enviornment decisions. 


Some great milestones we've hit:

  • ​Won the Startup Victoria annual Climate Tech Pitch Night 2022
  • The first of two invited to the Microsoft Space for Startups Initiative
  • The first in Australia to have Sentinel-2 time series analysis incorporated into policy

The Time To Act Is Now...
