Earth Blox

High-growth nature and climate tech company Earth Blox, has experienced exponential growth since winning the Converge Challenge category in 2020.

Now one of the leading companies in Scotland’s burgeoning space, data and environmental tech sectors, Earth Blox enables companies and organisations to measure climate and nature risk for all their economic assets and facilities worldwide.

A good example of how Earth Blox technology can be deployed is in large-scale disaster mapping where the technology can examine, map and quantify the reach, spread and extent of disaster areas, such as forest fires in California, or flooding in the Caribbean caused by tropical storms.

In 2022, the company, led by Genevieve Patenaude, secured £1.5million funding from Archangels to expand its global reach and to further develop its no-code Earth Observation cloud based SaaS. To date, the technology has been used to analyse one trillion hectares across 177 countries, equivalent to analysing the entire surface of the earth twenty times over.

Demand is increasing rapidly – particularly in the finance industry and carbon markets – with customers using the satellite imagery analytics to understand climate and biodiversity impacts, risks and opportunities for millions of assets in minutes, all at the touch of a button.

This is proving a vital resource for organisations such as WWF, Greenpeace, The European Space Agency, The GEO Secretariat and UNEP involved in areas such as natural resource management, environmental monitoring, and our adaptation to climate change.
