Meteosim

What Meteosim does

Meteosim, operating as Meteosim, S.L., is a Barcelona-based (Barcelona Science Park) private meteorological and environmental forecasting company founded in 2003 with 11-50 employees. It serves weather-sensitive industries (mining, chemical/petrochemical, oil and gas, energy, waste and water), insurance companies, and government/public sector entities, providing environmental alerts, air quality forecasting, climate risk assessment, and emergency response modeling. The company operates across Europe (Spain, Portugal, Italy), Latin America (Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic), the Middle East (Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia), the Caribbean, and Africa (Burundi), and is a member of the UN Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN).

Technically, Meteosim specializes in numerical weather prediction and environmental modeling, deploying WRF-Chem for atmospheric chemistry and dust forecasting (notably Middle East dust with radiative forcing), CFD for near-source industrial dispersion, and Gaussian plume models (Calpuff, AERMOD) for regulatory assessments. It runs high-resolution operational meteorological grids from 1km (mining zones in Peru) to 3km (Latin America) and 8-16km (European ensembles), and implements the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index at short-, medium-, and climate-projection timescales. Proprietary platforms include the RMS Risk Management System (aggregating 827 AEMET weather stations plus Meteocat, Euskalmet and MeteoGalicia data for insurance claims), sector software Meteosim Solution for Mining and OnaChem for chemical/oil & gas, the SIAM air quality and CtrackM chemical emergency systems, and multi-channel environmental alerting (SMS, email, WhatsApp).

The business monetizes through a mix of software licenses/subscriptions (mining, OnaChem, RMS), professional/consultancy meteorological services delivered as projects or ongoing engagements, subscription alert and notification services, and meteorological data products via a self-serve MetData Store. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative (consultation, custom proposal, agreement, ongoing delivery), with no publicly disclosed pricing and a quote-based model. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales, a client portal (clients.meteosim.com), and the online MetData Store, supplemented by EU-funded research consortia (VISCA, I-REACT, WEAM4i) and multilateral relationships (World Bank, IDB, Nordic Development Fund, CTCN).
