💎 The Idea: Predicta (API as a Service)
The Problem: For industrial giants and energy companies, water is not just a resource, it is the lifeblood of production. However, water stress is often difficult and costly to predict. Most companies do not have the tools to understand whether their power plant or factory will be able to operate in 5-10 years in a particular region. Floods, contamination, and other causes of damage, lead to production shutdowns, costing billions of dollars in losses that are difficult to insure without accurate data.
The Solution: Predicta is a predictive API service that helps production facilities, insurers and developers assess the risks of water stress. Our platform combines satellite data with historical archives and climate models (roadmap). We provide more than just a map, but a 5-10 year forward trajectory that allows businesses to plan investments, adapt infrastructure and minimize financial risks.
🛰️ EU Space Technologies at the Core
Our platform uses the full range of the Copernicus program to create an accurate "digital twin" of water resources:
- Sentinel-2 (Optical Monitoring): We use multispectral imagery to calculate the NDWI (Water Depth Index). This allows us to accurately track the area of water surfaces and see the gradual "squeezing" of rivers and reservoirs around industrial facilities.
- Sentinel-3 (SLSTR Thermal & Altimetry): We measure water surface temperature and its rise. Rising water temperatures are the first indicator of future "stress" that affects the efficiency of power plant cooling systems.
💧 EU Space for Water: A Strategic Asset
We turn space technology into an economic shield. Our project addresses the challenge of analysing and managing risk.
- For businesses: It is a tool for longevity and strategic planning.
- For insurers: It is objective data for calculating insurance premiums.
