General information
- Short Summary
- German SME combining high-resolution weather data with operational insights. The high quality local weather intelligence (accurancy <1000m) enables better decision-making, strategic planning, and operational efficiency which saves time, manpower and money for partners. Partnerships with drone manufacturers, municipalities, energy infrastructure operators and companies from agriculture/agritech sector are sought among others.
- Full Description

Problem description:
The use of drones is for many areas a useful addition. They save time, manpower and money. Authorities use drones to collect traffic data or monitor traffic flows, to survey terrain or document infrastructure projects. Drones transport medical samples and inspect wind turbines. But all these practical applications are preceded by long planning processes in which data has to be analysed. The choice of location, in particular the quality of the weather and wind data, has a significant influence on the cost-effectiveness and safety of subsequent drone operations and therefore has a major impact on the success of the investment and the results. It is at this point that the client's technology develops its full potential.
The business offer:
The Northern German SME specializes in the analysis of wind patterns and extreme weather events. By combining high-resolution weather data with operational insights, the company supports the planning, site selection, and operation of airports for drones and Vertical Take-off and Landing aircraft (VTOLs) and aerial corridors. Its tools provide precise weather intelligence, operational analysis, and practical design guidance—particularly valuable for planners, engineers, and operators working in the field of urban air mobility (UAM).
The company is looking for partners and clients from drone manufacturing, energy infrastructure, IoT sensor providers, public safety agencies, logistics software, and agri-tech—especially those who require precise weather intelligence tailored to complex, weather-sensitive operational environments. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Advantages for clients:
- Identify optimal locations for drone airports and Vertical Take-off and Landing aircrafts and efficient flight routes, resulting in greater operational uptime and improved safety.
- Support engineers with clear guidelines for optimizing designs based on local wind and turbulence conditions.
- Enable real-time decision-making for vertiport and drone operators using live weather data, enhancing safety and automation in flight planning.
- Improve long-term efficiency and profitability through increased operability and better return on investment (ROI).
Innovation:
The company’s platform is built on high-resolution weather modeling (less than 1000 meter scale) and supports sensor integration and Internet of Things (IoT)-based weather monitoring. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enhanced analytics using both live and historical data, and through an Application Programming Interface (API)-first architecture, the solution integrates easily with existing systems such as drone operations, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The SME’s services apply across multiple sectors, each benefiting from improved decision-making, planning, and operational efficiency through hyper-local weather intelligence. Partnerships with organizations are sought that operate in weather-sensitive domains and can leverage real-time, location-specific forecasts to optimize their processes, designs, and services.
Examples are:
1. Public Sector & Urban Infrastructure (Municipalities, urban planners, authorities, Smart infrastructure developers and mobility-as-a-service providers)
- To identify optimal vertiport locations, calculate efficient aerial corridors, de-risk infrastructure investments and enhance Return On Invest through weather-aware planning.
- To integrate weather intelligence into urban mobility planning, traffic systems, and infrastructure maintenance strategies.
2. Drone ecosystems (Flight operation companies, vertiport owners and planners, engineering firms, original equipment manufacturers and aircraft designers)
- To enhance safety and energy efficiency through weather-informed vertiport design and operations. Enhance operational reliability of automated systems through real-time weather data integration.
- To develop more resilient drones by factoring in micro-weather conditions of deployment zones during the design phase.
3. Energy and Utilities (Energy producers, grid operators, and energy traders)
- To optimize solar- and windenergy generation, load balancing in energy grids, and trading strategies using predictive weather intelligence.
4. Agriculture and AgriTech (Precision farming companies, agri-input providers, and cooperatives)
- To make weather-informed decisions on irrigation, planting, spraying, and harvesting. Forecasts with an accuracy of less than 1000m reduce input waste, improve yield reliability, and lower operational risks.
5. Emergency and Disaster Response (Public safety agencies, emergency planners, and critical infrastructure operators)
- To support disaster preparedness and real-time response with localized weather risk alerts and predictive hazard mapping. - Type and Size of Partner
