What Meteo Expert does

Meteo Expert (legal entity: Meteo Operations Italia S.r.l., Partita IVA 03062710961) is an Italian private meteorological research and forecasting company founded in 1995, headquartered in Cinisello Balsamo with operational headquarters and TV production studios in Segrate, both within the Milan metropolitan area. The company operates across three core service pillars: TV and Media Production (in-house broadcast studios and digital post-production capabilities for weather segments), Industrial Solutions (custom weather and climate forecasting for agriculture, environment, transport, energy, and insurance), and Research and Development (applied meteorological-climatological research, including EU/ERDF co-funded projects such as Simulator-ADS, an integrated modular risk-management system enriched with satellite data).

The company's technical assets include proprietary systems for risk management (Simulator-ADS), irrigation and reservoir forecasting (PreGI), and energy efficiency optimization (BlackBox), supplemented by access to global satellite data through partnerships with NASA, Eumetsat, NCEP, and MeteoSwiss, and HPC infrastructure provided by Verne Global. A dedicated media-and-education stack includes the consumer-facing platforms IconaMeteo, IconaClima, and IconaNews, the MeteoHeroes educational cartoon (co-produced with Mondo TV), the EOS Clima e Ambiente and Villaggio del Clima outreach projects (with Pleiadi), the Master SAFE energy-management training program in its XXIV edition, and nautical meteorology courses delivered with Lega Navale Italiana.

Meteo Expert's business model is anchored in B2B enterprise service contracts with major Italian and global corporates — energy and utilities (A2A, Enel, Eni, Edison, ERG, Snam, Repower, Sorgenia, EON), transportation (Autostrade, Ferrovie Nord, SEA), oil and gas (BP, Shell, Gaz de France), industrials (Siemens, GE, Epson, Finmeccanica/Leonardo), media (Mediaset), telecommunications (Telecom, Vodafone, Wind), and risk management/insurance — supplemented by recurring renewable-energy forecasting products, EU co-funded research projects, TV/media production fees, and educational program revenue. Co-founder and CEO Raffaele Salerno also serves as Vice President of AISAM, reinforcing the company's positioning at the intersection of operational meteorology and applied climate science.

Direct peers

• DTN: DTN provides commercial weather, climate, and environmental data services to agriculture, energy, transportation, and construction enterprises. It is the closest B2B peer to Meteo Expert given overlapping verticals (energy, agriculture, transport) and subscription-based industrial forecasting model.
• Weathernews Inc. Weathernews is a global B2B weather services company serving aviation, maritime, energy, and media customers with proprietary forecasting. Directly comparable in business model (subscription forecasting for industries) and customer verticals to Meteo Expert.
• StormGeo: StormGeo delivers weather intelligence and decision-support services to shipping, energy, and offshore industries with global coverage. Comparable to Meteo Expert's energy and maritime (nautical course) offerings as a similarly specialized commercial meteorological provider.

Others

• Vaisala: Vaisala is a global manufacturer of weather and environmental observation instruments (sensors, radiosondes, lightning detection) used by national met services and industry. Adjacent to Meteo Expert as the dominant supplier of meteorological instrumentation underpinning forecasting operations.

Emerging players

• Spire Global: Spire Global operates a proprietary satellite constellation generating global weather and earth observation data for maritime, energy, and government customers. A peer via satellite-derived forecasting and energy/maritime verticals, though primarily a data provider rather than full-service forecasting.
• Tomorrow.io: Tomorrow.io (formerly Climacell) is an emerging weather intelligence platform using proprietary sensing and AI for enterprise forecasting across aviation, construction, and energy. Represents the newer, VC-funded generation of B2B weather services competing against Meteo Expert's enterprise accounts.

Broad incumbents
