We developed the Worlds' First Tropical Weather Forecasting Model
Ignitia began as a research project to understand the differences in tropical weather events and create a model to more accurately predict them. With an accuracy of 84%, our forecasts are more than twice as accurate as global producers.
Since 2015, we have worked closely with small-scale farmers to provide them with reliable forecasts to reduce risk and loss.
With the ability to scale quickly, we can work with industries across the globe that are affected by weather variability in the tropics.
Our Values
We have the passion and determination to create the reality that we strive for. By learning rapidly and eagerly; we are in constant search for ideas that challenge conventional wisdom and improve the lives and businesses of our customers. We aim to provide great customer service that always exceeds expectations, and offer the best weather forecasts on earth.
