Strong
Climate Tech

Strategic Profile

Founded in 2016, Kayrros tracks methane and carbon dioxide emissions, analyses carbon sinks and assesses risks from wildfires, landslides, floods and other climate events. The company uses AI and geoanalytics to turn raw satellite data into usable climate insights for organisations and governments worldwide, and ranked 30th on Fortune's 'Change the World' list in 2024.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Kayrros is recognized as an intelligence provider by the UNEP and the World Bank, offering accuracy with near-realtime availability. The company demonstrates strong market validation through Fortune recognition and expansive client relationships across financial, energy, and government sectors. However, the pending acquisition creates execution uncertainty.
