FreeyR

💎 Idea

Governments worldwide face increasing economic and infrastructural risks due to climate-driven challenges, such as sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and gradual coastal erosion. These risks impact critical infrastructure, disrupt local economies, and burden state resources through escalating disaster relief costs. States need data-driven tools to assess these risks, plan proactive interventions, and ensure financial and infrastructural resilience.

Our Solution – FreeyR:

FreeyR is a geospatial intelligence platform designed to quantify economic risks, provide actionable insights, and enable proactive decision-making. By combining loss calculation models for governments and resilience assessments for critical infrastructure, FreeyR empowers states to:

• Protect financial security: Assess and reduce economic losses from climate-driven events.

• Enhance disaster monitoring: Provide real-time insights into the impact of extreme weather.

• Strengthen infrastructure resilience: Optimize resource allocation for high-risk zones:

• Mitigate long-term risks: Identify vulnerabilities and develop preventive strategies to reduce future costs.

FreeyR enables governments to secure their economies, protect critical assets, and proactively plan for a resilient future.

🛰️ EU Space Technologies

FreeyR leverages Copernicus Satellite data, including Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and Sentinel-3, to extract actionable intelligence. Our platform combines this data with proprietary algorithms to deliver precise insights.

• Satellite Data Applications:

  • Sentinel-1: Tracks flooding events and coastal erosion using SAR data.

  • Sentinel-2: Monitors vegetation health, land cover changes, and urban expansion.

  • Sentinel-3: Provides sea-level rise and thermal data for climate monitoring.

• Value to FreeyR:

  • Turns raw satellite data into financial risk intelligence for policymakers.

  • Offers real-time intelligence for disaster monitoring and recovery.

  • Supports long-term planning through predictive analytics and scenario mode

 EU Space for Defence and Security

FreeyR addresses Challenge 1: Enhancing Defence & Security with Geospatial Intelligence.

Our solution develops new geospatial intelligence services to improve decision-making in critical infrastructure, disaster response, and resilience planning.

How FreeyR Supports EU Defence and Security:

• Economic Security: Quantifies the financial impact of climate-driven events, allowing states to allocate resources effectively and protect GDP growth.

• Disaster Monitoring: Provides real-time insights into floods, coastal erosion, and extreme weather, enabling faster response and reducing recovery costs.

• Infrastructure Resilience: Highlights vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure (e.g., roads, utilities) and recommends mitigation strategies to avoid long-term damage.

• Strategic Advantage: FreeyR transforms geospatial data into actionable intelligence, empowering EU states to safeguard their economic and infrastructural assets.

FreeyR ensures that governments can proactively address climate-driven risks, supporting a more resilient and secure Europe.
