Real-time Arctic Coverage

Our distributed sensor network spans 14 countries across Northern Europe and the High Arctic, delivering continuous environmental intelligence at unprecedented scale.

Core Technology

Precision sensing
at planetary scale.

Satellite Fusion Network

Proprietary algorithms reconcile 12 satellite constellations — 30 cm resolution imagery at sub-hourly cadence.

Autonomous Ground Sensors

Solar and kinetic-powered edge nodes for extreme Arctic conditions — from −50 °C permafrost to coastal storm environments.

ACI Intelligence Engine

Transformer-based climate model trained on 40 years of Arctic data. Anomaly detection and 90-day projections at 94.2% accuracy.

About ACI

Built in Stockholm,
thinking at Arctic scale.

Arctic Climate Initiative was founded in 2023 by climate scientists, aerospace engineers, and ML researchers who believe better environmental data leads to better planetary decisions.

Backed by leading Nordic climate investors and part of the EIT Climate-KIC accelerator. Our mission: make Arctic intelligence as accessible as financial data.

Open Science First. All foundational research published openly. Data API freely accessible to accredited institutions.

Extreme Reliability. Arctic decision-making has zero margin for error. Built to ISO 27001 and 99.9%+ uptime.

Indigenous Partnership. We work with Sámi, Inuit and other Arctic communities as equal knowledge partners.
