BitaGreen

What BitaGreen does

BitaGreen is a Belgium-based climate-tech company, founded in 2019 as a spin-off of the Department of Water and Climate at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), that builds geospatial decision-support software for urban climate adaptation. Its core product, BGI Builder, is a cloud-native geospatial platform that combines satellite imagery, ground IoT sensors, AI-powered environmental modeling, hyperspectral imaging, and scenario simulation to help cities and real estate asset managers map climate and nature risks (flooding, heat islands, biodiversity loss), prioritize locations for nature-based solutions, and quantify co-benefits such as avoided damages, cooling effects, and EU Taxonomy/ESG compliance outcomes. The platform is delivered as two primary editions, BGI Builder for Cities and BGI Builder for Asset Managers, and is extended by two add-on modules: BGI Health (launched December 2024 with ISGlobal, integrating public-health impact quantification such as Years of Life Lost and Value of Statistical Life into urban planning) and BGI Monitor (launched October 2025 under the European Space Agency's Space Solutions programme, using satellite and IoT data to track vegetation health in real time).

The company operates a sales-led, demo-driven go-to-market anchored on Calendly-based product demonstrations, with publicly disclosed fixed-price subscription engagements starting at €7,350 for a three-month single-user asset-manager package and from €10,000 for a city-level screening and adaptation package covering one city across up to four districts. Confirmed paying engagements are concentrated in European municipal governments, including City of Leuven (Belgium), City of Valletta with ERA Malta (Malta), and a pilot project with the City of Bratislava (Slovakia), alongside ecosystem relationships with ESA, ISGlobal, EIT Urban Mobility, VUB, and MIP4Adapt where BitaGreen serves as Member State Facilitator for Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

BitaGreen is privately held and headquartered at Urban Tech Hub, Avenue Louise 350, Brussels. The company has a team of approximately 11 people led by co-founder and CEO Nora Van Cauwenbergh and CTO Didrik Pinte, and it is recognized by the World Economic Forum as a Top Innovator (2024), ranks in the top 5 of the QBE Insurance AcceliCITY Resilience Challenge Top 100 Western Resilience Solutions, and was accepted into the Women TechEU 2nd cohort (January 2025). It has not disclosed external venture funding rounds and appears to be funded through a combination of grants, EU programme support, and early commercial revenue.

Core offering

BitaGreen operates a cloud-native geospatial SaaS platform (BGI Builder) that helps cities and real estate asset managers assess climate and nature risks, model nature-based adaptation scenarios, and quantify co-benefits including risk reduction, environmental improvements, and economic returns. The platform is delivered with specialized add-on modules: BGI Monitor for vegetation health tracking via satellite and IoT data, and BGI Health for integrating public health impact metrics into urban adaptation planning.

Product overview

BitaGreen offers a modular climate adaptation platform centered on the BGI Builder system, with specialized add-on modules including BGI Monitor for vegetation health tracking and BGI Health for public health integration. The platform serves two primary segments: cities/urban planners (BGI Builder for Cities) and asset managers/real estate professionals (BGI Builder for Asset Managers). All products leverage geospatial intelligence, AI-powered environmental modeling, and high-resolution predictive analytics to assess climate risks, model nature-based solutions, and quantify adaptation benefits.
