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.
