Description

💎 Idea

Today, hydrological satellite data analysis is bottlenecked by high entry barriers. Building custom solutions requires a rare mix of domain expertise, DevOps, and programming. Stakeholders are forced to waste time on repetitive tasks, while existing market tools are prohibitively expensive to implement.

WaterTech startups that try to use satellite data to solve real-life water crises face a huge difficulty. According to Gartner, 60–80% of their time is spent — or better, wasted — on raw satellite data: gathering it, processing it, and making sense of it.

This holds back the time-to-market of new projects by 3–6 months. With the WaterTech industry projected to grow to $300 billion by 2030, that represents billions of dollars in wasted resources and missed revenue.

That is why we introduce Breezy.

With Breezy, we eliminate that 80% waste.

Think of it as ChatGPT for hydrological satellite data. We have built a no-code platform that sits on top of data from Copernicus, Sentinel Hub, and other relevant sources.

Users describe their idea in plain English, and our engine handles the complex selection of spectral bands, filters, and processing in the background.

We turn months of engineering into minutes of insight, lowering the entry barrier from thousands of dollars to as low as $50.

🛰️ EU Space Technologies

We use Copernicus Sentinel data via Copernicus Data Space / Sentinel Hub APIs.

Main sources

Sentinel-2 L2A

Multispectral optical imagery used to detect water colour changes, turbidity, sediments, brown-water signals, and possible bloom-related patterns.

Sentinel-1 GRD

Radar data used as an optional support layer to improve water detection and reduce uncertainty in cloudy or difficult conditions.

Indicators calculated from Sentinel-2 bands:

  • NDWI — Normalized Difference Water Index
  • MNDWI — Modified Normalized Difference Water Index
  • NDTI — Normalized Difference Turbidity Index
  • NDSSI — Normalized Difference Suspended Sediment Index
  • NDMI — Normalized Difference Moisture Index

Converted into risk layers:

  • Turbidity risk
  • Sediment risk
  • Brown-water signals
  • Possible bloom proxy
  • Optical pollution load
  • Hotspot anomalies
  • Field-check priority

This brings value because raw satellite data becomes an easy-to-read water risk map, showing where conditions look unusual and where field checks should be prioritised.

💦 EU Space for Water

We are addressing the challenge “Tracking and preventing water pollution”, but our approach is platform-based.

Our solution is a PaaS layer for water-related Earth Observation data. It transforms raw Copernicus Sentinel data into simplified, ready-to-use water intelligence layers.

On top of this, we provide no-code workflows and a natural language interface, so users can build analyses or query water data without needing to understand satellite bands, Copernicus APIs, raster processing, masking, or geospatial indexing.

This allows startups, municipalities, NGOs, and environmental companies to build their own SaaS products much faster and at lower cost. Instead of spending months preparing satellite data infrastructure, they can consume clean, contextualised, and API-ready water risk data.

By lowering the technical, time, and cost barriers to EU space data, we help more actors create tools for pollution monitoring, recreational water safety, environmental reporting, field inspection planning, and public alerts.

In short: we shorten the path from raw satellite data to real water-management applications.
