What meteoblue does

meteoblue AG is a privately held Swiss weather and climate data technology company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Basel (Greifengasse 38), serving global customers across energy, agriculture, urban resilience, transport, aviation, leisure, sustainability, and individual consumer segments. The company operates from a multi-jurisdictional ownership structure, being wholly owned by Windyty, SE (Czech Republic), which is itself ultimately controlled by founder Ivo Lukačovič via HELIFREAK LIMITED (Cyprus), and is currently led by CEO Dmitry Koplovich (per corporate registration records).

The core technology stack is a multi-model ensemble weather forecasting system that integrates multiple numerical weather prediction models with satellite data from NOAA GOES-16/17 and EUMETSAT, precipitation radar, and lightning data from nowcast. The proprietary meteoblue Learning MultiModel (mLM), introduced in 2019, applies AI/ML to automatically weight and combine outputs from different weather models based on historical error patterns for temperature, wind, and dew point forecasts. Product surface is broad: eight-plus APIs (Premium Weather, Dataset, Maps, Warnings covering 100+ countries, City Climate, Climate Data, Measurements, and a free non-commercial API), a gapless hourly historical database from 1984, Climate Risk Reports covering 28 hazard types and aligned with EU Taxonomy/CSRD (audited by major auditing firms), Urban Maps for city planning, multiple plug-and-play website widgets, mobile apps on iOS and Android, a Weather Dashboard for asset portfolio monitoring, and educational resources via meteoScool. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified (renewed 2025).

Revenue mechanics span three streams: (1) subscription and usage-based commercial API access to enterprise customers via self-serve and direct sales; (2) consumer premium subscriptions (ad-free at €9/year, point+ at €50/year, history+, climate+) layered on an advertising-supported free website and mobile apps; and (3) compliance-grade Climate Risk Reports and Urban Maps sold to enterprises, consultancies, and smart cities for ESG and CSRD reporting. Go-to-market is API-first with self-serve onboarding, supplemented by direct enterprise sales targeting verticals like energy trading, grid operations, agriculture, aviation, and urban resilience, plus integration partnerships with Microsoft, Siemens Germany, Syngenta, Solar-Log, Air Navigation, CLAAS, MarineTraffic, and others that embed meteoblue data into vertical-specific platforms.
